Speaker 1: Welcome everybody.
Speaker 2: It is the KSR Pre Show Wednesday, June fourth. I
Speaker 2: am Shannon the Dude and you can give us a
Speaker 2: call on the Clark's Pupping Shop phone line at eight
Speaker 2: five to nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 1: You're a Whiskey Thief call of the day.
Speaker 2: And you can also make sure you check out Italics
Speaker 2: find Italian Dining in Lexington. They are the title sponsor
Speaker 2: of the KSR Pre Show as always, and Billy is
Speaker 2: out all week so we continue to go to the
Speaker 2: bullpen and bring in different guests each and every day
Speaker 2: throughout the weekend. Today, well it's it's Mario Maitland who
Speaker 2: is joining us from Lexington. Live in the studio there
Speaker 2: and Mario is here. He's on time, unlike Ryan yesterday.
Speaker 2: You're here and you're ready to go. How are you, Mario?
Speaker 3: I'm doing well, man, I'm pumped up for today's show man.
Speaker 3: I don't mind being on KSR pre show Man, one
Speaker 3: of my favorite shows. I'm pumped well, glad to have
Speaker 3: you here. And you know I said that Ryan was
Speaker 3: late yesterday. That's actually two straight days in a row
Speaker 3: that Ryan wasn't ready to go at the start of
Speaker 3: the show. I think that's that inconsistency that you were
Speaker 3: talking about, Mario. He's still inconsistent, and.
Speaker 1: You've highlighted that in the past.
Speaker 2: And you know, when you first said that that night
Speaker 2: in Seattle, after you've done the high amount of fireball shots,
Speaker 2: I thought.
Speaker 1: You were just rambling. But it turns out that's true.
Speaker 2: You know, they say the truth comes out when you're drunk,
Speaker 2: and it's true that mark that Ryan was was not
Speaker 2: consistent and out here the last two days.
Speaker 3: I definitely took a lot of drinks that night and
Speaker 3: and like you said, when your little tipsy, the truth
Speaker 3: kind of comes out. And you know, I love Ryan Lemon,
Speaker 3: but you know I was just being I was being honest,
Speaker 3: and his consistency was was something that was bothering me
Speaker 3: at that point in tom So, like I said, man,
Speaker 3: I was, I was. I had a lot to drink
Speaker 3: that night. But you know how Ryan is man, he
Speaker 3: comes with good and he comes with bad too, just
Speaker 3: like everybody else does.
Speaker 2: That's right, Well, I mean, you know yesterday he shows
Speaker 2: up late. And by the way, the receipts, I've got
Speaker 2: the receipts on the text message right here. It says, Okay,
Speaker 2: we go on at ten oh three on KSR. At
Speaker 2: ten oh four, I get we're good. At ten oh
Speaker 2: five he says, we're connected to two. So I didn't
Speaker 2: actually know where he was connected until two minutes into
Speaker 2: the show.
Speaker 3: Well, when I was listening to the show, I could
Speaker 3: tell that it sounded like you honestly didn't think they
Speaker 3: were connected, Like that's that's what I thought. I was listening,
Speaker 3: they weren't.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I've got it right here.
Speaker 2: It says, you know, ten oh five, two minutes into
Speaker 2: the show, now he's connected, and then immediately comes on
Speaker 2: and tries to throw me under the bus.
Speaker 1: I mean, come on, what is this? What are we
Speaker 1: dealing with here?
Speaker 3: So, in reality, it was really the text message. The
Speaker 3: text message didn't come in Tom, and that was the
Speaker 3: That was the truth to the whole thing.
Speaker 1: And you know what, it's that android phone. Probably, yes
Speaker 1: it is.
Speaker 2: If Ryan texted me on time, I did not get
Speaker 2: the message until two minutes later, and we can blame
Speaker 2: I guess Ryan's phone.
Speaker 3: Oh god, yes, and he needs an iPhone? Why why
Speaker 3: does he just get an iPhone? The entire group chat
Speaker 3: has an iPhone? He needs to get a knife.
Speaker 2: I have tried for years to talk some sense into him,
Speaker 2: and he's stubborn. He won't listen to me. So maybe
Speaker 2: you can try. Maybe he'll listen to you.
Speaker 3: Maybe he will now you will.
Speaker 2: Now to your point, you know he has some bad,
Speaker 2: but he has a lot of good. He has much
Speaker 2: more good than out weighe the bad. So immediately immediately
Speaker 2: after screwing up and being late for the show, he's
Speaker 2: able to pull Dan Skirka's phone number. And to be
Speaker 2: honest with you, Mario, I didn't know the name Dan
Speaker 2: Skirka until you yesterday on the show.
Speaker 3: I didn't know him either. Yeah, I didn't know him though.
Speaker 3: Are you surprised? Though? Ryan literally knows every single body.
Speaker 3: And I've noticed that since working for KSR. It's like
Speaker 3: Ryan knows everybody. We can be going in London, Kentucky.
Speaker 3: We're at a gas station and the clerk knows Ryan Lemon.
Speaker 3: Ryan knows the clerk at the cashier. So it's like
Speaker 3: this guy literally knows everybody on the planet on the
Speaker 3: face of the planet.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, you could just name anything random and Ryan
Speaker 2: will go, well, I know a guy, And if I
Speaker 2: don't know a guy, I know a guy who knows
Speaker 2: a guy.
Speaker 3: You cannot go out with Ryan Lemon. Do not go
Speaker 3: out with Ryan.
Speaker 1: Ryan's connections run deep. There's no doubt about it.
Speaker 2: So I think if he does run for mayor one day,
Speaker 2: he may actually have a shot at it.
Speaker 1: But he brought on.
Speaker 2: He's able to get us connected with Murray State baseball
Speaker 2: head coach Dan Skirka, and it was kind of cool
Speaker 2: having him on here because number one, when will we
Speaker 2: ever talk about Murray State Baseball ever again? And that's
Speaker 2: why I was saying yesterday when they were like, well,
Speaker 2: you know, he's on a bus right now and it's
Speaker 2: really not a good time. I'm like, you have the opportunity,
Speaker 2: Murray State Baseball. You have the opportunity to get on
Speaker 2: and talk to the entire state of Kentucky and beyond.
Speaker 1: You got to make that happen.
Speaker 2: But I'm glad that we were able to get Dan
Speaker 2: Scoke go on and he was talking about just how unreal,
Speaker 2: you know, it didn't feel real that they were moving
Speaker 2: on to the super Regionals. But man, I mean now
Speaker 2: that Kentucky's out, I feel like, now, Mario, we have
Speaker 2: a team to pull for in the NCAA Baseball tournament.
Speaker 3: I think it's really cool how Murray State is kind
Speaker 3: of pulling it all together. What what are they even? Like,
Speaker 3: what is Murray State known for? You know, like, they're
Speaker 3: not a baseball school, They're not a basketball school. I
Speaker 3: think the last time I remember like, like Murray State
Speaker 3: being mentioned was probably when John Moran was there. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so I'm not it's crazy to see them at at
Speaker 3: this point having this success and you gotta, you gotta,
Speaker 3: you gotta tip your hat off to these guys. Man.
Speaker 3: They're doing their thing in the baseball tournament, and you gotta,
Speaker 3: you know, only support these guys. That's what we should do.
Speaker 2: I think John Morant is what I think about. When
Speaker 2: you say, okay, Murray State Sports, Yeah, exactly, give me
Speaker 2: word association. You're probably gonna say.
Speaker 1: John Morant exactly. Yeah. Now shifting gears here. ESPN. I
Speaker 1: don't know if you saw this release.
Speaker 2: They're college football rankings yesterday and Kentucky football is one
Speaker 2: of three teams not in the top twenty five. They've
Speaker 2: got them I think at thirty fifth. The other two
Speaker 2: SEC schools in case you're wondering, that aren't in the
Speaker 2: top twenty five are Mississippi State and Vandy. So the
Speaker 2: question is, then, you know, what does Mark Stoops have
Speaker 2: to do this year?
Speaker 1: I mean, the seats.
Speaker 2: Definitely getting warm. If it's not hot, it's getting warm.
Speaker 2: It's what does what does he have to do to
Speaker 2: keep his job? I mean, we're talking about a win
Speaker 2: total for football, and it's been really quiet in the
Speaker 2: off season.
Speaker 1: You can look at that one of two ways, Mario.
Speaker 2: You can look at it as it's a silent confidence,
Speaker 2: or you could look at it as well, we.
Speaker 1: Know we're not going to be that kid. So there's
Speaker 1: no way they've talking about.
Speaker 3: They've definitely been quiet over the off season. Hopefully they
Speaker 3: ramp that up and start, you know, pushing a lot
Speaker 3: more stuff out. But you know, I think when it
Speaker 3: comes to like Stoops on the hot seat and everything
Speaker 3: like that, obviously you know he already is kind of like,
Speaker 3: you know, fans are kind of you know, want to
Speaker 3: push him there, kind of leaning towards pushing him out.
Speaker 3: But I would say, if I had to pick a number,
Speaker 3: I'm gonna say six. But you gotta you gotta understand
Speaker 3: how tough the schedule is. That's that schedule is brutal.
Speaker 1: The seventh.
Speaker 3: That schedule is absolutely the seventh.
Speaker 2: Toughest schedule in the country, and he has got to
Speaker 2: bounce back somehow from what happened last year.
Speaker 1: And you think it's six, I think it's six.
Speaker 3: Where you go, well, I.
Speaker 2: Think it's six to keep the fans happy. Now, I
Speaker 2: don't know that it's six to keep your job. I
Speaker 2: think if he gets to I think if he gets
Speaker 2: the five, he keeps his job, even though he's not
Speaker 2: going to a bowl at five wins, so.
Speaker 3: He has to do better than last season. Yes, yeah,
Speaker 3: I think we all can agree.
Speaker 1: You know, four is right there on the line.
Speaker 2: I think there was like a preseason projection for win
Speaker 2: total when it was like four and a half for Kentucky.
Speaker 1: Four.
Speaker 2: I think there's a high likely, highly likely chance that
Speaker 2: he is out, but I would I wouldn't swear to it.
Speaker 1: Three definitely if yeah.
Speaker 3: He can't, and I'm sure he's not thinking, you know,
Speaker 3: win total three, you know three, man, that would be terrible,
Speaker 3: And I think a lot of it, Shannon is the
Speaker 3: those first few games like those are probably gonna be
Speaker 3: his most important games of the season. Those first two
Speaker 3: or three games like that can dictate how the seasons
Speaker 3: is gonna go. And I think that's very important for
Speaker 3: Stoopid at least at least start out on a strong note.
Speaker 2: Yeah, as I said, seventh toughest schedule in the country.
Speaker 2: But I keep I keep hearing though, and we knew
Speaker 2: that going in, but I keep hearing about Toledo.
Speaker 1: And look, I'm tired of hearing about Toledo.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, because if we can't here's here's why. If
Speaker 2: you lose to Toledo, just go ahead and call it
Speaker 2: a season. I mean, if you can't beat Toledo in
Speaker 2: your opening game, you've got much bigger problems on your hands.
Speaker 2: Forget about trying to beat an SEC team. If you
Speaker 2: can't beat a MAC team, it's not gonna that's pretty bad.
Speaker 3: That's definitely bad. If he goes down against Toledo, Hey,
Speaker 3: I'm rooting for him, man, I honestly think that he
Speaker 3: can't do it. Like I said, it really it really
Speaker 3: starts off in the beginning of the season. If we
Speaker 3: look back at last season, when we lost that South
Speaker 3: Carolina game, Yep, it was almost like the season was
Speaker 3: over at that point. Now, we did bounce back against
Speaker 3: Old Miss on the road, but you know, those those
Speaker 3: first two or three games are so pivotal for for
Speaker 3: what's gonna happen in the season.
Speaker 2: You know, when Stoops took over, you know, Kentucky was
Speaker 2: at the bottom of the barrel. And yes, a win
Speaker 2: against Vanderbilt was not guaranteed. A went over South Carolina
Speaker 2: wasn't happening at least not on a consistent basis.
Speaker 3: Honestly, I don't think he gets enough credit. And I
Speaker 3: might be the only one on the fate in Big
Speaker 3: Bow Nation that probably thinks this, but honestly thinks he
Speaker 3: doesn't get enough credit. He like, Kentucky football was irrelevant
Speaker 3: before he came here. Sure, literally irrelevant. But I do
Speaker 3: understand that the fact that he's not like, he's not produced,
Speaker 3: it's not it's not translating to the field at this moment.
Speaker 3: He won four games last season, so I do get that.
Speaker 3: But I mean, give let's see what happens next season
Speaker 3: before we write him off and we can go from there.
Speaker 1: Sure. Sure, but but I was getting it.
Speaker 2: You know, like there was a long stretch where we
Speaker 2: beat South Carolina and Vanderbilt. It felt like every season
Speaker 2: when Mark Stoops really had this thing rolling here at Kentucky,
Speaker 2: and now I feel like we've fallen back again to
Speaker 2: you know, losing the Vanderbilt again, losing to South Carolina,
Speaker 2: when before, like when when Stoops really had this thing going,
Speaker 2: those were games that you just you just assumed we
Speaker 2: were gonna win.
Speaker 1: And now I don't think that.
Speaker 2: I think there's so much uncertainty going into the season
Speaker 2: that I'm not sure what's going to happen. I mean,
Speaker 2: I do feel like we're gonna be Toledo, so let's
Speaker 2: set that aside. I'm hoping so, but I hear people
Speaker 2: that are even kind of worried about that game, and
Speaker 2: I you know, and then you look, Okay, Vanderbilt's not
Speaker 2: even though I think they're ranked in this preseason ESPN
Speaker 2: Power Index that I was talking about, They're like fifty
Speaker 2: sixth or something like that. But even that, now you
Speaker 2: can't just say, Okay, that's an automatic win.
Speaker 3: So part of that, I mean, you are playing in
Speaker 3: the best conference in college football, like I think that,
Speaker 3: and it's only getting better, Like I think, you know,
Speaker 3: Vanderbilt in South Carolina, like you said, they're getting better,
Speaker 3: Like they're not the same team that they were four
Speaker 3: or five years, same program, they were four or five
Speaker 3: years ago.
Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know now you got to say, Okay,
Speaker 2: if you don't get to five wins, do we keep
Speaker 2: Mark STUPSI, You're right at some point the what have
Speaker 2: you done for me lately?
Speaker 1: Kicks in?
Speaker 3: Yes, and that matters.
Speaker 2: Yeah, And you can also say that Stoops is also
Speaker 2: in a lot of ways a victim of his own
Speaker 2: success in the past. Now that we've seen the Kentucky
Speaker 2: football can get the ten wins, they can, doesn't mean
Speaker 2: that they are what to me, doesn't mean they should
Speaker 2: be expected to get to ten wins every year.
Speaker 1: I feel like that is the exception more than the norm.
Speaker 3: You know what I've been noticing, Shannon, Like, and this
Speaker 3: is just not with college football. This is like coaches
Speaker 3: in general in sports. And you can say NBA, you
Speaker 3: can say NFL, you can say college football. What I've
Speaker 3: been noticing is that you can have a bad team
Speaker 3: as a coach. You have a bad team, and you're
Speaker 3: more likely to keep your job, rather than when you
Speaker 3: have a team's success, you're more likely to get fired.
Speaker 3: We're seeing it with TIBs. Yeah, you're more likely to
Speaker 3: get fired when you have team success compared to when
Speaker 3: you don't when your team is consistently bad. You're more
Speaker 3: likely to keep your job if your team is consistently bad.
Speaker 3: I'm honestly seeing that.
Speaker 2: Since you brought up TIBs, let's talk about that. The Knicks,
Speaker 2: I mean, what what are the next?
Speaker 1: What are they doing?
Speaker 2: They they just fired their head coach Tom Tibodeaux after
Speaker 2: making the conference finals, the first time they had gone
Speaker 2: to three straight Get this right, first time they've had
Speaker 2: three straight winning seasons since the nineties, first.
Speaker 3: Time they've been to the conference finals.
Speaker 1: First time they've been to the conference finals since the nineties?
Speaker 1: Were were you? Were you even born then, Mario? Were
Speaker 1: you even alive with them?
Speaker 3: I wouldn't since I've been grown up, shann And the
Speaker 3: Knicks have always been bad. Yeah, there's a few years
Speaker 3: where they were as bad, like you know, Carmelo Anthony
Speaker 3: was playing news, they weren't too bad. But from what
Speaker 3: I can remember, they were always bad. And this is
Speaker 3: this is like, it's crazy to see TIBs, you know,
Speaker 3: get get fired. And I think there's two sides to it, Shannon.
Speaker 3: You got one side where it looks bad as if
Speaker 3: like the Knicks going to the playoffs, matchup where they're
Speaker 3: playing your Celtics, the defend champs, and they beat the Celtics,
Speaker 3: and no one honestly thought that they could beat the Celtics.
Speaker 1: Thought the Celtics were gonna sweep the next sweep them.
Speaker 3: And when they won, we saw what the city was like,
Speaker 3: We saw what New York City was. It was going crazy.
Speaker 3: And every fan, every New York fan, thought that they
Speaker 3: were gonna make the finals at that point. So you
Speaker 3: turn that success from beating the Celtics to getting into
Speaker 3: the Indiana Pacers matchup, and you lose the Indiana Pacers matchup,
Speaker 3: which Knicks fans at that point, when they beat the Celtics,
Speaker 3: they thought they had a ticket to the NBA finals.
Speaker 3: They said, our time is now. We won, We were
Speaker 3: in the NBA finals. They weren't even thinking about the
Speaker 3: Indiana Pacers. And when you lose against the Indiana Pacers,
Speaker 3: it almost looks like a disappointment in ways, It honestly
Speaker 3: almost looks like a disappointment to Nick two Knicks fans,
Speaker 3: to New York Knicks nation, and and and now we're
Speaker 3: seeing like Tibbs, he's the first one to go. And honestly,
Speaker 3: I think there's more to it, sh And and I think
Speaker 3: there's a lot going on in that that entire organization.
Speaker 3: We got the coaches blaming Karl Anthony town saying that
Speaker 3: he's the guy, he was the problem why we lost
Speaker 3: the series. And then you got the players blaming Tibbs,
Speaker 3: Who's like, hey, I don't know if you if you
Speaker 3: saw it online, Shannon, but there's a thing where the
Speaker 3: New York Knicks they did, I guess an exit interview
Speaker 3: with some of their top players, and and and and
Speaker 3: they decided that, hey, Tis Tibbs is the one that
Speaker 3: that has to go once they were concluded with all
Speaker 3: those those exit interviews. So it's really a two sided
Speaker 3: umbrella where I'm like, I'm not sure what exactly is
Speaker 3: going on in that franchise, but it's madness.
Speaker 2: If you're a New York fan, I don't know why
Speaker 2: you wouldn't want to run back just what happened. I mean, like,
Speaker 2: you just made it to the conference finals. Why would
Speaker 2: you not want to try to keep all those pieces
Speaker 2: together and try to do it again? And now we're
Speaker 2: talking about uncertainty with the Kentucky football team, there's gotta
Speaker 2: be a lot of uncertainties now with the Knicks, like
Speaker 2: who's gonna be the next coach and who's gonna be
Speaker 2: bring them back to where they just were this season.
Speaker 3: It's it's crazy, but it's realistic, and I'm not I'm
Speaker 3: not gonna say I'm surprised about the entire thing. I
Speaker 3: remember we were at the case Martin Grill, and I'm
Speaker 3: talking to Matt. We're watching the Knicks and the Pacers,
Speaker 3: and I guess the Knicks lost Game six or something
Speaker 3: like that. I believe it was Game five versus the Pacers.
Speaker 3: And I say to Matt and I'm like, hey, Matt Man,
Speaker 3: you think Tips is gonna have his job after the season.
Speaker 3: And I remember literally asking him that and he thought
Speaker 3: it was absurd just to hear the question. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: that's just to show you, like, man, no one's job
Speaker 3: is safe, and in terms of a head coaching position,
Speaker 3: it's not safe, especially for an organization like the New
Speaker 3: York Knicks. It's insane because he's been the best coach
Speaker 3: that they've had in what a.
Speaker 1: Decade long time?
Speaker 3: Yeah, and now he's gone after one their first run
Speaker 3: to the Eastern Conference Finals in twenty years. It's crazy.
Speaker 2: I think there was just a lot of a lot
Speaker 2: of front office issues. According to some reports that I've read,
Speaker 2: they weren't happy with him because of his lineup changes.
Speaker 2: I think the front office kind.
Speaker 3: Of wit a lot. And he's known for that shit.
Speaker 3: And like he's known to run his players into the ground,
Speaker 3: like he'll play his players to their knees fall off,
Speaker 3: Like that's what he's kind of known for. Yeah, but
Speaker 3: you know, success is success. That's the way I look
Speaker 3: at it. And I'm not sure who they're going to
Speaker 3: even replace him with. That's gonna be the interesting thing
Speaker 3: to really look at. But yeah, I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: do you do you do you think Brunson's dad should
Speaker 3: now be the coach.
Speaker 2: No, No, I don't think that's a good choice. But
Speaker 2: I'd have to I'd have to see, like who all
Speaker 2: the candidates are out there. You know, honestly, this might
Speaker 2: be crazy, but I think about a guy like John
Speaker 2: Cali Perry. Really, you know, I don't know that he
Speaker 2: would have any interest in it, but you know, it
Speaker 2: is New York, it's the NBA. Cal has done well
Speaker 2: in the n C Double A as a head coach
Speaker 2: at the college level, but never really succeeded as a
Speaker 2: head coach in the NBA, So I mean I could
Speaker 2: see that maybe being a possibility if he were in.
Speaker 3: That would be insane. Yeah, he he became the New
Speaker 3: York Knicks coach. I don't know what was his situation.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you're familiar his situation when he
Speaker 3: coached in the NBA, I don't. I only know cal
Speaker 3: for when he coached that Memphis and Kentucky saw and
Speaker 3: I know he coached a little bit in the NBA.
Speaker 3: I don't know if it was the Brooklyn Nets or not,
Speaker 3: or New Jersey.
Speaker 1: New Jerseynownce at the time.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but I don't know. I don't know, man, I've
Speaker 3: been hearing mixed things a lot of a lot of
Speaker 3: college candidates and and you know, Dan Dan Hurley may
Speaker 3: look at it and like, who knows. But I wouldn't
Speaker 3: be surprised if the Knicks let let Brunson's dad step
Speaker 3: into that position. I don't know, Like I said, I
Speaker 3: would not be surprised.
Speaker 1: Should be.
Speaker 2: Well, that's gonna be interesting to follow to see who
Speaker 2: ends up with that, uh, that head coaching position for
Speaker 2: the Knicks, because I think it's crazy that they fired TIBs.
Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, the first Eastern Conference Finals gone.
Speaker 1: Yep, we need to take a break. We'll take calls
Speaker 1: coming up next.
Speaker 2: I've also got another story in the news involving uh
Speaker 2: managers head coaches in baseball, we call them.
Speaker 1: We call them managers, not not head coaches.
Speaker 2: But yeah, the Braves just ended up hiring their former manager,
Speaker 2: Freddie Gonzalez as their third base coach. I want to
Speaker 2: I want to talk to you about that because I
Speaker 2: think it's interesting from a few different angles. We'll take
Speaker 2: your calls. Coming up next. Eight five nine two A
Speaker 2: twenty two eighty seven. It is the ksrpre Show, Welcome Back.
Speaker 2: It is the KSR pre Show. Shannon the Dude and
Speaker 2: Mario Maitland sitting in for Billy Relis today. Mario, do
Speaker 2: you know who Connie Francis is?
Speaker 1: Is?
Speaker 3: This? Is this the artist that's that's playing through my
Speaker 3: headphones right now?
Speaker 2: Yes, this is Connie fran I had never heard of
Speaker 2: Connie Francis. There's two names that I learned yesterday, Dan
Speaker 2: Skirka and Connie Francis.
Speaker 3: Connie frant I feel like I've heard this song before.
Speaker 2: Okay, well, yep, that's where I'm that's where I'm going
Speaker 2: with this.
Speaker 3: This is something that they play in the movies, Shannon,
Speaker 3: They they I don't know. It's giving me like nineteen fifties.
Speaker 2: By It was a song that was actually written in
Speaker 2: the nineteen sixties by Connie Francis. She recorded this song
Speaker 2: and I don't even think it was a single. I
Speaker 2: don't even think it was a big deal back in
Speaker 2: the sixties. She you know, just put it on her
Speaker 2: you know, back then they had records, Mario, so she
Speaker 2: just kind of buried it on the on the backside
Speaker 2: of the record.
Speaker 3: And I love, Yeah, I love the way you talk
Speaker 3: to me like I don't know what records because I'm
Speaker 3: so young.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying like I'm just saying, like, now records
Speaker 2: are big again, but back in the sixties, that's that's
Speaker 2: all people had, Right.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you put it on the record player and the
Speaker 3: I guess the little string that you put on it,
Speaker 3: and then it starts to play. Am I right? Is
Speaker 3: that how good?
Speaker 1: What was a needle? Yeah?
Speaker 3: Needle? Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, I do have to explain some things.
Speaker 3: To you, the details.
Speaker 2: Yeah, anyway, this song that was like not a big
Speaker 2: deal back in the sixties, is now it's gone viral
Speaker 2: on TikTok because people are now discovering this song and
Speaker 2: using this song and all their videos.
Speaker 1: It's called pretty Little Baby.
Speaker 2: It's trending, and now it's a big hit for her
Speaker 2: and she is still alive. In case you're wondering, she's
Speaker 2: eighty seven years old. But I just think that's really
Speaker 2: cool that a song that really wasn't that big of
Speaker 2: an ish, you know, big of a deal back in
Speaker 2: the sixties, it's now a huge hit.
Speaker 3: For six powers TikTok man power of TikTok and bring
Speaker 3: back songs like that and and make them popular all
Speaker 3: over again. I bet she's ecstatic here.
Speaker 2: She apparently didn't know what TikTok Tok was. Yeah, you know,
Speaker 2: like I've got TikTok, but I barely know what to
Speaker 2: do with it. You know, I have an account, but
Speaker 2: I just don't use it that much. But I think
Speaker 2: that is what's kind of cool about TikTok and trends
Speaker 2: is just you know, a song could exist for years
Speaker 2: and years and years and not be a song that
Speaker 2: anybody even knows, but then one.
Speaker 3: Person one of the more popular songs.
Speaker 2: Yeah, one person who's like a social media influencer can
Speaker 2: discover a song and then next thing you know, it's
Speaker 2: trending and the song just goes, you know, to the
Speaker 2: top of the charts, which I don't think did back
Speaker 2: when it was released to begin with.
Speaker 1: So I think that's kind of a cool sea.
Speaker 3: That's very cool, man, Yeah, very cool.

Speaker 2: All right, welcome back. It is the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 2: Shannon the Dude, Mario Maitland give us a call eight
Speaker 2: five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven. All right,
Speaker 2: a couple of things, uh, south side, Chuck writes me
Speaker 2: at Shannon the Dude on Twitter. He said, Dude, the
Speaker 2: eyes of the horse racing world are on New York,
Speaker 2: June seventh, Saratoga, not Baltimore. Look that's what the copy
Speaker 2: says right here. Look, I'm not going to pretend to
Speaker 2: be a horse racing fan, so I don't know where
Speaker 2: your eyes are south Side Chalk, but my eyes are
Speaker 2: still on Baltimore. Just because your eyes aren't on Baltimore
Speaker 2: doesn't mean my eyes shouldn't be. No, this is this
Speaker 2: is old copy they gave me. I'm like Ron Burgundy
Speaker 2: and Anchorman Mario. I will read whatever you put in
Speaker 2: front of me.
Speaker 3: You just wanted to do your job. You wanted to
Speaker 3: read the ad. Yeah.
Speaker 2: When he's like when he was like, I'm Ron Burgundy, Like,
Speaker 2: who put a question mark on the telepropter?
Speaker 1: No this say is?
Speaker 2: This says Baltimore south Side Chuck, So maybe your eyes
Speaker 2: are in the wrong place. He also says that he
Speaker 2: would take five wins or it'll take five wins.
Speaker 1: For Stoops to keep his job. So I guess that
Speaker 1: he agrees with me.
Speaker 3: I you can't you can't have four again.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I think four is right on that line. I mean,
Speaker 1: you know, I could see possibly being a way.
Speaker 2: I think it depends on it. If he had four wins,
Speaker 2: it depends on how you got to four wins. Did
Speaker 2: you play all the teams tough?
Speaker 1: Like where you competitive?
Speaker 3: That's the big thing they're gonna lose. I man, say
Speaker 3: that you're gonna win every game. They're not gonna win
Speaker 3: every game, but these games that they can't get dusted
Speaker 3: out there on the field.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, let's say that you're not to be competitive, yes,
Speaker 2: and let's say that the way that they got to
Speaker 2: four was a win over Lovell and a big upset win,
Speaker 2: you know whatever that might be in the schedule. I
Speaker 2: think if you get there that way, then it's possible.
Speaker 2: But then that also means though that you probably lost
Speaker 2: to some really bad teams too, exactly. So I think
Speaker 2: that four is kind of that line. Five he's definitely good.
Speaker 2: Six were going bowling and we're all happy again. So
Speaker 2: it's just it's interesting to see kind.
Speaker 3: Of where fans my magic number six.
Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, six. Six is gonna be tough.
Speaker 3: It's gonna be tough, but I believe, hey, if you
Speaker 3: string if those first three games, you start to get
Speaker 3: momentum and you you make it competitive. I mean, these guys,
Speaker 3: I know they have a different team every single year,
Speaker 3: but Stoops is one thing that he's capable of, and
Speaker 3: it's motivating these guys to go out there and actually
Speaker 3: fight like they fought against Georgia, like they fought against
Speaker 3: Ole Miss last season. I think if we can get
Speaker 3: that version of Snoops, we might have a chance to
Speaker 3: get the six.
Speaker 2: While we're talking about coaches, I want to ask you
Speaker 2: about this, Mario. You know, Matt talks a lot about
Speaker 2: the Reds on KSR. I'm an Atlanta Braves fan and
Speaker 2: a somewhat Pittsburgh Pirates fan, but this story involves the
Speaker 2: Atlanta Braves who just hired their former manager, Freddie Gonzalez back,
Speaker 2: but they're bringing him back as the third base coach
Speaker 2: after the Braves had a series of really bad base
Speaker 2: running errors that cost him a few games already this season,
Speaker 2: so they decided, you know what we need to do,
Speaker 2: we need to make some sort of change as a
Speaker 2: third base coach. They brought back their old manager as
Speaker 2: the third base coach. Now, I think this is interesting
Speaker 2: on a couple of different levels here because they're bringing
Speaker 2: back a guy who was once the manager that the
Speaker 2: head coach basically, you know, but they're bringing him back
Speaker 2: as just the third base coach number two. He is
Speaker 2: now working for Brian Snicker, who was once the third
Speaker 2: base coach for Freddy Gonzalez when he was the manager.
Speaker 2: So it's like a role reversal here where you know,
Speaker 2: a Snicker who's the manager, was the third base coach
Speaker 2: working under Freddy Gonzalez. Now Snicker's the head guy, and
Speaker 2: they're bringing back Freddy Gonzalez to work for Brian Snicker.
Speaker 2: So my question is to youa Mario, do you think
Speaker 2: that you could work for someone who you were once
Speaker 2: the boss of.
Speaker 3: That's tough, that's tough, man. I don't I don't know
Speaker 3: if I could do that, to be honest, But I
Speaker 3: mean I could see it, like there's a fact of
Speaker 3: there's a sense of being like humble, you know, like
Speaker 3: situations happen where you know, everybody's in a different position,
Speaker 3: everybody has to play a role in it. I don't
Speaker 3: know what the situation was with the Braves, but maybe
Speaker 3: he has something to do with like this is Gonzala,
Speaker 3: this guy, you know, him being a little bit more
Speaker 3: familiar with with the with the program, with the with
Speaker 3: the organization as a whole. So I don't know, man,
Speaker 3: I don't know, shit, I don't. I know. I'll tell
Speaker 3: you one thing. I know you wouldn't be able to
Speaker 3: do that.
Speaker 1: I don't know that you are you are you one
Speaker 1: hundred percent competent?
Speaker 2: I could, Yeah, it's interesting, like I've never really been well,
Speaker 2: I can't say I've never really been a boss.
Speaker 3: I have.
Speaker 2: When I was working part time at the radio station,
Speaker 2: I was fresh out of college. Radio station wouldn't hire
Speaker 2: me full time, so I had to look elsewhere.
Speaker 1: You know, you.
Speaker 2: Can't you can't live off of, you know, making seven
Speaker 2: eight thousand dollars a year, so I had to go
Speaker 2: out and find a full time job to pay the bills.
Speaker 2: And I ended up getting a job at a hospital.
Speaker 2: And I've talked about this before. I was like the
Speaker 2: head of environmental services, which is really a big fancy
Speaker 2: way of saying head over janitorial services. I mean, you know,
Speaker 2: and people with the are housekeeping, cleaning, cleaning the rooms
Speaker 2: and stuff, and you had to go around and make
Speaker 2: sure rooms were cleaned the stuff. So I was a
Speaker 2: boss over like, you know, twenty five thirty people, right,
Speaker 2: and that in that position could out work for somebody
Speaker 2: that was a housekeeper, and you know, I'm a supervisor
Speaker 2: and then let's say they get promoted over me.
Speaker 1: I probably could there. But now in this world in radio, you.
Speaker 2: Know, I don't know, like I've never really been a
Speaker 2: boss in radio, So I don't know, but that would
Speaker 2: definitely be I think awkward.
Speaker 3: But I could definitely not see you handling that. You
Speaker 3: don't think so, No, I don't think so.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you know, I guess if you need a job,
Speaker 2: and you know, it's still for Freddy Gonzales, even though
Speaker 2: he's not the manager anymore, he's still a part of
Speaker 2: the organization. And I think the Braves brought him in
Speaker 2: not because that he knows the players, because he didn't.
Speaker 1: He had to learn.
Speaker 2: He had to learn the players, and like you know,
Speaker 2: he has that familiarity what he does with the program.
Speaker 1: And that's the thing.
Speaker 2: I think the Braves know that he is, you know,
Speaker 2: a reliable guy and a good coach in general. So
Speaker 2: they felt like they needed to make a change mid
Speaker 2: season and they've done that, and you know, I think
Speaker 2: that it does.
Speaker 1: It does take a bigger man to.
Speaker 2: Yeah, to take to take a job and work for
Speaker 2: somebody who you were once, you know, the the boss
Speaker 2: of exactly.
Speaker 3: A lot of a lot. You gotta definitely have some
Speaker 3: humbleness to you because that's that could be a pride.
Speaker 3: You can hit your pride, that can definitely hit your pride.
Speaker 1: Ye, Uh, let's go to the phones and talk to Jason.
Speaker 1: What's up, Jason? How are you? Why are you there?
Speaker 3: I hear a TV in the bag.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know, Jason. Are you there?
Speaker 2: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah? Yeah? What's up?
Speaker 2: Man?
Speaker 1: What are you doing?
Speaker 4: I'm just really mad to Brave suck Well.
Speaker 1: So you're a fellow Brekers fan like I am.
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 2: What's going on in the background there? It sounds like
Speaker 2: you're at like a meeting or a luncheon or something.
Speaker 1: What's happening Bobby Bone show? Oh you're listening to Bobby
Speaker 1: Bones and us at the same time.
Speaker 2: All right, Well, we'll call in and tell Bobby Bones
Speaker 2: that Shannon the dude said, Hi, he won't. Oh, okay,
Speaker 2: we'll see. That's why you should listen to us and
Speaker 2: turn Bobby Bones off.
Speaker 1: Anyway. So what's on your mind other than the Braves
Speaker 1: being terrible?
Speaker 4: I'm really looking forward to Kentucky basketball.
Speaker 1: Oh we all are? Yeah?
Speaker 2: Yeah, Mark Pope, you know, he's put together a deep
Speaker 2: team this year, a more athletic team, an experienced team,
Speaker 2: you know, with a couple of guys coming in from
Speaker 2: the SEC from Florida and Alabama. I think he's just
Speaker 2: gonna have a hard time deciding who gets you know,
Speaker 2: how do we divide up the minutes between all this talent.
Speaker 2: I think that's going to be the biggest challenge.
Speaker 3: Especially in the backcourt. Man that backcourt with Aberdeen and
Speaker 3: Low and then you got Colin Chandler, Jasper Johnson Way
Speaker 3: those oh Way like oh Way has to play like
Speaker 3: he's guaranteed to play. You're looking at like a SEC
Speaker 3: Player of the Year candidate. I think he has the
Speaker 3: chance to be National Player to Year next season. I
Speaker 3: know some people might be saying you're pushing that a
Speaker 3: little bit too far, but if you look at his numbers,
Speaker 3: I mean you average sixteen around sixteen last season was
Speaker 3: very efficient and now you throw him in with that
Speaker 3: experience that he had last season, he's playing with better
Speaker 3: players around him. I think he's up for a National
Speaker 3: Player of the Year.
Speaker 2: Jason appreciate the call man, thanks for listening, and make
Speaker 2: sure you turn Bobby Bones off the KSR Appre show.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: I think you're right. You know.
Speaker 2: Always thing is, it's no secret he needs to develop
Speaker 2: a three point shot. If he can do that, he
Speaker 2: can improve his draft stock. And I think that it's
Speaker 2: very likely that next year he could be a late
Speaker 2: first round pick, and I think that's the goal.
Speaker 3: I agree, I agree. I think last season he shot
Speaker 3: thirty eight thirty seven percent from three, maybe even higher
Speaker 3: than that. But he honestly, Man, he has a chance
Speaker 3: to be National Player of the Year. He's gonna be
Speaker 3: around better players, which is going to elevate his game.
Speaker 3: And if Kentucky's winning and he's he's performing at a
Speaker 3: high level, he's guaranteed to get that National Player of
Speaker 3: the Year spot. There's no Jordan. There's no more Jordan series,
Speaker 3: there's no more Johnny Broom. Those guys are all gone.
Speaker 3: So I for oh way in terms of getting that
Speaker 3: national play to you, free Bird, Hey, free Bird?
Speaker 1: What's up?
Speaker 6: Good morning? Phillis What do you say, Mario?
Speaker 3: What's up? Man? How you doing?
Speaker 6: Good Man? How are you guys today?
Speaker 1: We are well man. What's what you got going on?
Speaker 1: What's on your mind?
Speaker 6: Oh? I'm driving up here for work. I'm up in
Speaker 6: Trible County. I don't know where that is in Man's book,
Speaker 6: but I just want to know what do you all think?
Speaker 6: Why are we keeping so much secrecy for the upcoming
Speaker 6: football season. I know in the past the media was
Speaker 6: on them they want to know everything and who's performing,
Speaker 6: who's not performing, and I haven't heard Badley.
Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, you know, I think that it could be,
Speaker 2: like like I was telling Mario a few different things.
Speaker 2: I think number one, it could be Mark Stoops having
Speaker 2: the mindset, well, uh, there's nothing that I'm going to
Speaker 2: be able to tell you know, fans in the off
Speaker 2: season that's going to make them any more excited.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I think you know, I could say that we're
Speaker 2: gonna be great, but that's not gonna change anybody's mind
Speaker 2: because I think the overall consensus for the fan base
Speaker 2: is we want to see you do it.
Speaker 1: You know, you have to show us something.
Speaker 2: You can't just get on here and say that you're
Speaker 2: going to be great because that's not going to hype
Speaker 2: up the fan base. We've heard that before. It's the
Speaker 2: same old song and dance. You got to go out
Speaker 2: there and improve it. So that could be part of it.
Speaker 2: The other part of it could be that quite frankly,
Speaker 2: they're just not that good and maybe he doesn't want
Speaker 2: to talk about it, and that's you know, that's also
Speaker 2: a possibility.
Speaker 6: Well you hate to hear that, and I say, we
Speaker 6: have one more year of Texas A and M not
Speaker 6: coming to Lake. Yeah, I mean some of these conference teams.
Speaker 6: I know the SEC is brutal, but it just seems
Speaker 6: some of these teams get a little bit lighter. I mean,
Speaker 6: Kentucky's just their schedule is just, I don't know the
Speaker 6: right word for it, brutal off the charts. Yeah, unbelievable,
Speaker 6: whatever adjective you want to use for that top.
Speaker 2: Ten toughest, Well, it's number seven, you know, if you
Speaker 2: go by the numbers, it's, as we said earlier, the
Speaker 2: seventh toughest schedule in all of college football. I think
Speaker 2: it is possible that this football team is better than
Speaker 2: last year, but you have maybe an equal or let's
Speaker 2: hope not worst record.
Speaker 1: But I think it's very likely.
Speaker 2: That you have, you know, the same win total was
Speaker 2: last year with a better team, and it just comes
Speaker 2: down to the scheduling of it. Free Bird, thanks for
Speaker 2: the call. I know you're driving out there. Hey, don't
Speaker 2: be zipper merging either. Okay, that's that's another thing.
Speaker 6: Not me, not me, I'm interesting.
Speaker 1: There you go.
Speaker 2: Thanks to the call, free Bird. That's another thing that
Speaker 2: people have been Yeah. That that that's the summer topic though,
Speaker 2: the zipper merge. Everybody's talking about the zipper merge. Are
Speaker 2: you a zipper merger Mario? Are you like Matt and
Speaker 2: you go all the way up to the very front
Speaker 2: where there's traffic and you cut off a semi truck
Speaker 2: to get up to where the exitd is.
Speaker 3: I can't do that. That is just that is not right, man.
Speaker 3: You can't when you merge. I can see I'm Matt
Speaker 3: has done it before, so I definitely I know he's
Speaker 3: done it plenty of times. But no, I'm not. I'm
Speaker 3: not a zipper merged guy.
Speaker 2: You've probably been in the car with him when he's zipper.
Speaker 2: I think there's a difference between zipper merging and just
Speaker 2: straight up cutting somebody off. Yeah, I think there is
Speaker 2: a difference there. I'll tell you another thing. Drivers don't
Speaker 2: know the word yield. They don't know what that means.
Speaker 2: I was on the way in this morning and nearly
Speaker 2: hit a car because I'm in like the far right lane,
Speaker 2: so other words, the slow lane. But then there's a
Speaker 2: car coming off of an exit trying to get onto
Speaker 2: the interstate where I'm at. And look, if you're the
Speaker 2: car on the ramp trying to get onto the internet.
Speaker 2: You're supposed to yield to the other cars that are
Speaker 2: already in traffic.
Speaker 1: This guy just boomed just right off of the ramp.
Speaker 3: People don't know how to.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and runs me into the other lane.
Speaker 3: I'm like, man, this is people do not know how
Speaker 3: to job. But yeah, Yeah, the Kentucky football situation they have,
Speaker 3: like you said, Chinn, and they they've been a little quiet.
Speaker 3: Usually around this time last year, they were, they were
Speaker 3: doing stuff, and I'm hoping that they're gonna ramp things up.
Speaker 3: I saw an interview they put out with the quarterback.
Speaker 3: I think it was yesterday. I believe in and like,
Speaker 3: hopefully we will start to see, you know, them rapped
Speaker 3: it up because like you said, we don't really know
Speaker 3: much about this team. You know, we don't this is
Speaker 3: a this is a Kentucky football team. We don't really
Speaker 3: know much about it. Honestly, man, I'm looking forward to
Speaker 3: the season, but part of me is like e and
Speaker 3: maybe maybe they're just trying to be cautious and play
Speaker 3: at a cautious standpoint, and you know, we don't want
Speaker 3: to say too much until the season, you know, starts up.
Speaker 3: But yeah, I don't know, man, It's it's gonna be
Speaker 3: very interesting this this Kentucky football season.
Speaker 1: Yeah, a lot of uncertainty.
Speaker 2: Matt was asking me all of us last week to
Speaker 2: say something positive, and my answer was, well, you know what,
Speaker 2: we have the most experienced quarterback in all of college football. Yeah,
Speaker 2: this guy is already he's already been through six years
Speaker 2: of this all right, He's on a year seven. So
Speaker 2: we definitely have the most experienced QUARTERBA. I'm not gonna
Speaker 2: say he's gonna be the best, but he's got the experience.
Speaker 2: A five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven.
Speaker 2: We'll take more of your phone calls. Coming up next
Speaker 2: for the final segment if the KSR pre Show, We'll
Speaker 2: be right back.
Speaker 1: Welcome back.
Speaker 2: It is the final segment of the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 2: Mario sitting in for Billy today. Haye five nine two
Speaker 2: eight oh two seven. We'll go back to the phones
Speaker 2: in just a minute. But first I got a couple
Speaker 2: of well, one's a kind of a fun topic. The
Speaker 2: other one's just freaky. But I want to I want
Speaker 2: to get your take on these two things here. Number one,
Speaker 2: I know you're not in the dating world, Mario, You're
Speaker 2: a taken man, but did you see that Tender is
Speaker 2: now testing a height filter on their app? So the
Speaker 2: way I understand this, I haven't been on Tender in forever.
Speaker 2: I was on Tender for about two weeks and then
Speaker 2: I got taken off the market and that was that
Speaker 2: I deleted the app. But apparently you can now pay
Speaker 2: for a top tier subscription on Tender that will allow
Speaker 2: you to filter out I guess basically short people, and
Speaker 2: I'm in asked it to know, like, like what is
Speaker 2: the minimum height that a woman would actually consider dating?
Speaker 2: You know, like, if you're trying to filter out, you know,
Speaker 2: a certain height, where do you draw the line? Is
Speaker 2: it five foot ten? Is it five foot nine? Would
Speaker 2: you date somebody five foot eight? And maybe this is
Speaker 2: a topic that I should have brought up tomorrow because
Speaker 2: I feel like we would have gotten like a lot
Speaker 2: of response from this. Maybe I should, you know, maybe
Speaker 2: we'll carry that over to tomorrow's show.
Speaker 1: But I'm number one.
Speaker 2: What is stopping somebody Like, let's say I'm on Tender,
Speaker 2: What's what's gonna stop me from saying, yeah, I'm six
Speaker 2: foot three.
Speaker 3: You know, guys lies about their heights all the time. Yeah,
Speaker 3: so they lie about it. Literally all the time. They
Speaker 3: do it. They add at least two or three inches,
Speaker 3: and they lie about their height. I don't. I don't
Speaker 3: know if I've ever met a a a girl who
Speaker 3: likes short men. Yeah, so I don't. I don't know
Speaker 3: if that Like, I don't. I like the filter. I
Speaker 3: get what it's trying to do. But you know there's
Speaker 3: at some point there's a line, right, but short people.
Speaker 2: Line too, though, I mean, come on, So I I guess,
Speaker 2: like what I'm saying that's true. What what's considered a
Speaker 2: short person? Is it less than five foot nine? Like,
Speaker 2: shorter than five foot nine?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 3: What's the average height? Is the average heights five? Is
Speaker 3: it five eleven or five to ten? Or is it
Speaker 3: five nine?
Speaker 2: For men in America? Let me see if I can
Speaker 2: quickly doole this average.
Speaker 3: I guess it's five five eight, five nine, okay.
Speaker 2: Average type for a man in America, it's five foot nine.
Speaker 3: Okay.
Speaker 2: So I guess if you're five foot eight, that's considered short.
Speaker 2: If you're five foot nine, your average.
Speaker 3: Well, five foot eight is basically five foot nine.
Speaker 1: Okay. So you think you get an inch grace period,
Speaker 1: you get it?
Speaker 3: Okay, you get at least in it. You got the shoes,
Speaker 3: you got the shoes off.
Speaker 2: But what's the old saying? Though you give them an inch,
Speaker 2: they'll take a mile.
Speaker 1: That's what I'm sure you know.
