Speaker 1: Welcome everybody. It is the KSR pre Show. It's Thursday,
Speaker 1: May twenty ninth.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 1: The weekends almost so you gotta love these three day weekends.
Speaker 1: We could always go to a three day weekend and
Speaker 1: do a lot today work week. That would be amazing.
Speaker 1: It is Shane Up, the Dude and Bill Rutletch. Give
Speaker 1: us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line.
Speaker 1: That's eight five nine two eight oh twenty two eighty seven,
Speaker 1: your Whiskey Thief Call of the day. You can also
Speaker 1: send us a text at five O two two six
Speaker 1: five six six five six KSR pre Show being brought
Speaker 1: to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. That
Speaker 1: is where Billy is and that's where I will be
Speaker 1: tomorrow for the KSR Golf Scramble. I hope the weather's
Speaker 1: going to cooperate, Billy. I don't know if you've got
Speaker 1: a weather update for us, but it looks like tomorrow
Speaker 1: it's gonna be rainy, So bring your raincoat and a
Speaker 1: good attitude because we're gonna try to have fun regardless that.
Speaker 2: The Lexington Golf Scramble tomorrow.
Speaker 3: Look, if you're a golfer you've played in the rain before.
Speaker 3: It's the lightning in the thunderstorms that you can't play in,
Speaker 3: So bring a rain gear. Realize that there's gonna be
Speaker 3: a little alcohol on maybe every single hole at the
Speaker 3: KSR Golf Scrambler.
Speaker 2: So that's why most people signed up.
Speaker 3: You won't even notice the rain halfway through the rounds.
Speaker 3: So I'm really looking forward to it. And maybe we'll
Speaker 3: see Shannon the dude hit a golf shot tomorrow. Is
Speaker 3: that any chance?
Speaker 1: Probably not. You don't want me to hit a golf
Speaker 1: shot for you? Like as bad as Ryan Ryan is
Speaker 1: it putting. I'm just bad at golf. I was having
Speaker 1: this conversation with Tom Leech just an hour ago talking
Speaker 1: about the Golf Scramble, and I said, you know, I've
Speaker 1: tried to play golf.
Speaker 2: It's just not my game.
Speaker 4: You know.
Speaker 1: I've spent a lot of weekends when I was younger
Speaker 1: out on a golf course and I just get frustrated.
Speaker 2: I end up throwing a club, I end up.
Speaker 1: Cussing, and I'm like, why am I wasting my time
Speaker 1: and money? You know, your your valuable time out on
Speaker 1: a golf course doing something that just doesn't fun. So
Speaker 1: I've still got some really out of date clubs in
Speaker 1: the garage, Billy, which I'm to part with for a
Speaker 1: very low price, just to get them out of my way.
Speaker 1: I've sort of given up on the game of golf.
Speaker 1: I don't think I was ever really much of a
Speaker 1: golfer to begin with, and it's frustrating. You know, it's
Speaker 1: like that balls right there. Why is that so hard
Speaker 1: to hit straight? It always hooks.
Speaker 3: It's a lifetime pursuit. So do not feel bad if
Speaker 3: you can't play the game very well if you've tried
Speaker 3: to pick it up on a whim. You know, I've
Speaker 3: been told Matt Jones is gonna face off with me
Speaker 3: at some point this summer on camera playing a little golf.
Speaker 3: So Shannon, I'm taking it really seriously right now. So
Speaker 3: my game has got to be in top shape if
Speaker 3: we're gonna get Mario out there with the camera. So
Speaker 3: maybe we'll talk about that a little bit more tomorrow,
Speaker 3: but I'm excited for it, there's no doubt.
Speaker 4: Now.
Speaker 1: We got big news about Otega away. We'll get to
Speaker 1: that in just a minute. But first before, right before
Speaker 1: we went on the air, I told Billy, hey, I
Speaker 1: have the opportunity to possibly interview Ace Freely, and you said,
Speaker 1: who is that? Who's as free And I don't know
Speaker 1: if I've ever been more disappointed in you ever in
Speaker 1: this show's history.
Speaker 2: You don't know who Ace Freely is.
Speaker 3: More of a you know, a visual learner, Shannon. So
Speaker 3: maybe if I see a face, I'll know who this
Speaker 3: person is.
Speaker 1: But what if I just said, have you ever heard
Speaker 1: of a little band called Kiss?
Speaker 2: Yeah? Okay was one of the original members of Kiss.
Speaker 1: Now he hasn't been in the band Kiss in years,
Speaker 1: all right, So you know, some people may think that
Speaker 1: it's not that big of a deal, but I think
Speaker 1: it is because he's the original guy with Kiss, with
Speaker 1: Geene Simmons and Paul Stanley, and he's going to be
Speaker 1: going out and doing a solo tour as he's been
Speaker 1: doing for years now, and he's coming into Louisville And
Speaker 1: they said, do you want to interview Ace Freely?
Speaker 2: And I said, yeah.
Speaker 1: The only thing is though, when you interview some of
Speaker 1: these guys and they, you know, don't want to talk.
Speaker 2: About their old bands.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Look, I don't really care about Ace Freely's solo band.
Speaker 1: I know he wants me to, so he has a
Speaker 1: solo career, right, a solo career, sure, But I'm everybody
Speaker 1: wants to hear about Kiss if you're doing an interview,
Speaker 1: and some of these, you know, guys that are members
Speaker 1: of former bands will go, Okay, I'll do the interview,
Speaker 1: but no questions about Kiss. And I've got it into
Speaker 1: my mind that if he says no questions about Kiss,
Speaker 1: I'll just hang up on them.
Speaker 3: So I'm trying to put myself in an Ace's shoes.
Speaker 3: I thought of Ace Ventura when you said, that's how
Speaker 3: far off Jim Carrey, But like he probably gets asked
Speaker 3: that every single interview, right, every DJ across the country.
Speaker 2: That's his legacy. Though. That's how people know, you know.
Speaker 1: It's another thing, and bands will get really big off
Speaker 1: of one song, but they won't play the song live.
Speaker 1: Like nobody would know who you were if you wouldn't
Speaker 1: if you didn't have the song, and now you hate it.
Speaker 1: You know, nobody would know who Ace Freely is if
Speaker 1: you weren't in Kiss to begin with.
Speaker 3: So why would you not tell people tune in to
Speaker 3: hear about stories about Kiss?
Speaker 5: Right?
Speaker 3: I Mean, it's it's kind of like the old adage
Speaker 3: and radio you need to be talking about the big
Speaker 3: story of the day, because when somebody tunes in and
Speaker 3: you're not talking about that story, I mean they're just
Speaker 3: gonna say, I mean, what are you doing? This is?
Speaker 3: This is what I want to hear about. So, you know,
Speaker 3: I I completely understand both sides. So what are you
Speaker 3: gonna do? Shannon?
Speaker 5: You?
Speaker 3: I mean you got to ask questions about Kiss right, And.
Speaker 1: Oh yeah, I got to pretend to be interested in
Speaker 1: a solo career and promote his show Coming to a Louisill,
Speaker 1: which is the whole.
Speaker 3: Point of the game. Yeah, you know how to play
Speaker 3: the game.
Speaker 1: Then you pepper in the Kiss questions, Like Gene Simmons
Speaker 1: really a big jerk, like he seems.
Speaker 2: That he is.
Speaker 3: I know, Gene, hed I've definitely know that name.
Speaker 1: There's there's one great interview you can find on YouTube,
Speaker 1: and it's when Ace was still in the band, and
Speaker 1: he is like the one guy that's you know, they're
Speaker 1: in like full gear, wig makeup and everything, and the
Speaker 1: band's always you know, trying to look tough and try
Speaker 1: to be all serious. Meanwhile, Aace Freeley is just I
Speaker 1: don't know if he was drunk or what, but he
Speaker 1: was just like making a mockery of the entire interview
Speaker 1: and laughing because you know, Gene Simmons like, yeah, man,
Speaker 1: kids come out and they see us and they start crying,
Speaker 1: and he says, like, yeah, crying because.
Speaker 2: I spent all my money to see this band. They
Speaker 2: lost all their money.
Speaker 3: Well, he sounds funny though. It'd be a good interview
Speaker 3: for sure. You know, early on in the pre show
Speaker 3: history we talked about Kisses air guitar strings and how
Speaker 3: they actually sold that to people. So maybe he was
Speaker 3: the mastermind behind that.
Speaker 1: That screams Gene Simmons. You talk about a guy that
Speaker 1: would sell anything.
Speaker 2: They Billy.
Speaker 1: They literally sell Kiss coffins, Like, if you want to
Speaker 1: be buried six feet hundred and a Kiss coffin, you
Speaker 1: can buy one with the band's logo on it. They
Speaker 1: are the most like no band in the history of
Speaker 1: rock and roll or music in general has been better
Speaker 1: at marketing than the band Kiss.
Speaker 2: They'll put their logo on anything.
Speaker 3: Well, I love that to a degree. I got to
Speaker 3: think there's also some people in Big Blue Nation that
Speaker 3: probably have a Kentucky casket, don't you think.
Speaker 2: Oh, I'm sure, I'm sure they do.
Speaker 1: Yeah, and let's just talk about the big Kentucky topic
Speaker 1: of the day.
Speaker 2: I didn't think.
Speaker 1: I wasn't expecting to lead off talking about Ace Freely
Speaker 1: until you said who. Then I was like, I can't
Speaker 1: let you go. I can't let you off the hook
Speaker 1: not knowing who as Freely is.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I understand.
Speaker 1: So yeah, the big news otaga Oway back not a surprise, Billy.
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody on KSR was too worried about it. Matt,
Speaker 1: maybe a little bit yesterday if you listened to the show.
Speaker 1: But let's be real, let's talk about otakea away and
Speaker 1: what it means for this Kentucky team. Now you have
Speaker 1: a complete roster. He was their most consistent player last year.
Speaker 1: He scored at least ten points and what would you say,
Speaker 1: ninety eight percent of their games. He was the guy
Speaker 1: who I think, Yeah, he was the guy that when
Speaker 1: the team was dealing with injuries, he carried Kentucky throughout
Speaker 1: the season. And he was just the most solid player
Speaker 1: that they've had in quite some time. Now that they've
Speaker 1: got the roster lockdown, I think this is a team, Billy,
Speaker 1: that has all the pieces to make a national championship run.
Speaker 1: I mean they have experience through the transfer portal editions.
Speaker 1: They have more athleticism than they did from last season's team.
Speaker 1: They have depth, which hurt them last year a little bit.
Speaker 1: But you know, you can go thirteen deep on a
Speaker 1: roster and still find a guy that's a top thirty player.
Speaker 1: That's a team that's I think shaped up for a
Speaker 1: deep run in March next year.
Speaker 3: The final piece of the puzzle falling into play, Shannon,
Speaker 3: I could not be happier to hear that otega Oway
Speaker 3: is back, and look, it's hard not to have that
Speaker 3: level of optimism thinking about a national championship or a
Speaker 3: Final four. When you see the depth and the talent
Speaker 3: on this year's roster and all the deficiencies that we
Speaker 3: saw in Mark Pope's roster in year one, you know
Speaker 3: he went out and filled those needs.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: Maybe you have a little less shooting, you don't have
Speaker 3: the Kobe Brea, but you got better athletes. You know,
Speaker 3: you got better defensively, You've got even more experience. So
Speaker 3: it's there's a lot to be happy about. But I
Speaker 3: think overall, when I hear Mark Pope talk about how
Speaker 3: important it is to be a second year player in
Speaker 3: his system, right, the read based offense and being able
Speaker 3: to not just to be able to react Shannon, you know,
Speaker 3: you know the offense by now already being in the
Speaker 3: system for a year, so maybe that can lead to
Speaker 3: a second year jump. I'm really excited for guys like
Speaker 3: Colin Chandler and Brandon Garrison and now otuga Oway, who
Speaker 3: was such a surprise last year, wasn't he. I mean,
Speaker 3: who thought he was going to be leading the team
Speaker 3: with sixteen points a game and two game winners and
Speaker 3: being really the heart and soul. And now he can
Speaker 3: be that leader once again and goes to show you
Speaker 3: that Kentucky's in a good place when it comes to nil.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 3: I mean, you've got Aberdeen leaving Florida after winning a
Speaker 3: national championship, after expecting to be a starter. Otega Oway
Speaker 3: it was either the NBA or Kentucky didn't even think
Speaker 3: about another school. So a lot of positive takeaways from this,
Speaker 3: but I'm just excited to see otaga Away play another
Speaker 3: year in Kentucky Blue. Right. I mean, that's just there
Speaker 3: is I mean, I think he's connected to the fan
Speaker 3: base in a lot of ways and is just a
Speaker 3: veteran piece that makes this roster from a top ten,
Speaker 3: top fifteen preseason team to maybe even top five.
Speaker 1: And I think he's going to be the best player
Speaker 1: next year too. You know, last year, going into Mark
Speaker 1: Pope's first year, we had no idea really what to expect.
Speaker 1: And I bring this up all the time because of
Speaker 1: just it was. It was a big breakout year for Oway.
Speaker 1: Nobody was talking about him this time last year when
Speaker 1: we were talking about the roster. Who's going to be
Speaker 1: the guy that you know is going to be the
Speaker 1: best player. No, I don't think anybody really mentioned Oway,
Speaker 1: and turns out he was the guy that had his
Speaker 1: surprise breakout season. I think that this year there's not
Speaker 1: going to be no surprise. I think that Oway is
Speaker 1: going to be the best player again. And you know,
Speaker 1: you look at what they've put together, what Mark Pope
Speaker 1: has been able to assemble with this roster.
Speaker 2: It's it's it's great. ESPN gave Pope.
Speaker 1: In his first year, his first off season or his
Speaker 1: first regular season. I should say, and A let me
Speaker 1: ask you, how would you grade Pope for this offseason recruiting?
Speaker 3: Would you give it the off season?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 1: For recruiting? Can you give him an A? I mean,
Speaker 1: I don't think there's are much argument.
Speaker 2: For a bee.
Speaker 3: Well, look like you can. It's funny because this has
Speaker 3: been such an up and down process. You remember the
Speaker 3: first couple of weeks, the Mark Pope whiffs, the Yaxle
Speaker 3: guy that ended up going to Michigan. I think it
Speaker 3: was from UAB. There was a few that it was
Speaker 3: like you were beating your head up against the wall, right,
Speaker 3: Why is Mark Pope not going out there and getting
Speaker 3: some of these guys? But I think you can only
Speaker 3: give the grade by looking at the final roster. And
Speaker 3: I look at this fourteen deep team and can't help
Speaker 3: but be super optimistic. Like we've said about a top
Speaker 3: five roster and yeah, I mean, how do I give
Speaker 3: it an A minor shein? And I think I give
Speaker 3: it an A Yeah, I mean to retain otega Oway,
Speaker 3: to even bring back a guy like Brandon Garrison. You
Speaker 3: know you're not seeing guys enter the portal. I mean
Speaker 3: you see them possibly go to the NBA or graduate,
Speaker 3: but they don't look at the situation besides Travis Perry
Speaker 3: and say I can't make this work here. So I look,
Speaker 3: we sound like a broken record and we're not Sunshine pumpers,
Speaker 3: But I'm going a Shannon and for Otega. Man, this
Speaker 3: is great because if you're a late second round projected
Speaker 3: pick and you're getting a lot of positive feedback, then
Speaker 3: then you're on the fast track of being a first
Speaker 3: round pick, right. I mean, there is every opportunity for
Speaker 3: you to come back, have a great year and get
Speaker 3: that life changing contract in money. But is it really
Speaker 3: that life changing when you can make millions of dollars
Speaker 3: at the college level?
Speaker 1: And that's the thing, man, You know, you hear people
Speaker 1: complain all the time about NIL. Nil is bad for
Speaker 1: the game. In this situation, I think it's good for
Speaker 1: the game. This is probably a player that if NIL
Speaker 1: didn't exist, I think there's a good chance that he
Speaker 1: just goes off and becomes a second round pick, goes
Speaker 1: to the G League and tries to work his way
Speaker 1: up into the NBA. Right now, the NIL is in place,
Speaker 1: and as you just said, you can make more money
Speaker 1: at Kentucky than you could probably in a G league
Speaker 1: traveling or traveling around in a bus to random Midwestern towns.
Speaker 1: Why would you not come back? So you know, play
Speaker 1: for fans that were tired of the one and done system.
Speaker 1: If tired of these guys coming in one year going
Speaker 1: to the NBA. Wearely even get to know him. Nil
Speaker 1: is kind of bringing back college basketball to the way
Speaker 1: it was when you had guys that would come back
Speaker 1: for a second, third, fourth, some guys in the football
Speaker 1: side of things the seventh year. If you're Zach Calzada,
Speaker 1: so you know in that regard, I think NIL is
Speaker 1: good for the sport because it's bringing back guys that
Speaker 1: otherwise I think would probably go pro. And I will
Speaker 1: say this, we talk about players that get bad advice,
Speaker 1: I think O take it away, got some really good advice.
Speaker 1: Go ahead, work out for every team that will have you,
Speaker 1: because you never know next year when you are ready
Speaker 1: for the NBA, that team that you worked out for
Speaker 1: yesterday being the Brooklyn Nets, could be the team that
Speaker 1: ends up drafting you.
Speaker 3: No, that's that's correct. You'd be foolish not to do it.
Speaker 3: But while we're talking about NIL and evaluating Mark Pope's offseason,
Speaker 3: I can't help but think about the time where he said,
Speaker 3: you know, this is Kentucky. We want to be the
Speaker 3: best at everything, whether it be NIL or the transfer portal,
Speaker 3: everything that we do, we want to be the best
Speaker 3: at and that's the that's the mindset that you want
Speaker 3: the coach to have. And certainly when there were so
Speaker 3: much I guess caution when the nil era started here
Speaker 3: at Kentucky, right Mitch Barnhardt hesitant to embrace it, Stoops
Speaker 3: and Colu. Now I feel like we've really turned the
Speaker 3: full leaf into Hey, we've got the money and we're
Speaker 3: going to keep the guys that we want. I also
Speaker 3: want to wish the best of luck to Addo Theorro,
Speaker 3: who also decided to remain in the NBA draft not
Speaker 3: taken a third year with John Caliperry so always loved
Speaker 3: that guy and excited to see him excel at the
Speaker 3: next level.
Speaker 1: That always back, We want to hear from you. How
Speaker 1: are excited are you? That always back in? How are excited?
Speaker 1: How excited are you for this upcoming basketball season? Eight five, nine, two,
Speaker 1: eight oh twenty two eighty seven. We're going to take
Speaker 1: a break, come right back and take your phone calls.
Speaker 1: It is the ksrpre Show. Welcome back, It is the
Speaker 1: KSR Pre Show.
Speaker 3: You know this song, Billy, of course, there you go.
Speaker 1: I saw a kiss a couple of years ago, but
Speaker 1: you know again, it's not the original members. I guess
Speaker 1: they think you can just throw some face, painting a
Speaker 1: wig on a guy and nobody will. You don't care.
Speaker 1: But if you, if you're a hardcore fan, though, you
Speaker 1: care that it's not the original members. But was it
Speaker 1: always make up like or did that like? Well, there
Speaker 1: was a there was a period where they didn't do makeup.
Speaker 1: I think they did an album where they didn't, Like,
Speaker 1: they played shows without any makeup on it.
Speaker 2: People are like, who are these guys?
Speaker 3: They sucked?
Speaker 4: Yeah?
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean you know, Kiss is a gimmick band
Speaker 1: to begin with. You got to have the makeup, you
Speaker 1: got to have the big hair, you gotta have the pyro.
Speaker 1: You take all that away, it's just some guys up
Speaker 1: there playing songs that nobody really cares about. It's it's
Speaker 1: more about the spectacle of going to a Kiss concert,
Speaker 1: I think than it is a lot of times about
Speaker 1: the music itself.
Speaker 3: You know, we're talking about Ace Freely, and one person
Speaker 3: on the text line, which is five O two two
Speaker 3: six five six six five six, says Billy, does STD
Speaker 3: know that Ace Freely is a genius with a very
Speaker 3: high IQ. I bet he doesn't go one.
Speaker 1: Up m Well, I mean if I just hang up
Speaker 1: on him, I feel like he's not there's no coming
Speaker 1: back from that.
Speaker 3: You are in control of the interview. Yeah, I mean,
Speaker 3: I mean I'm.
Speaker 2: Doing I'm doing him a favor. I'm promoting his show.
Speaker 3: What does that mean? He as a high IQ? Is
Speaker 3: he a super genius? Has he taking a test ineligence?
Speaker 2: How does this guy know that that he's a genius?
Speaker 2: Did he say he just.
Speaker 3: Listens to his interviews and name he's a well spoken guy.
Speaker 1: Maybe so south Side Chuck says, you said it. I've
Speaker 1: seen Counting Crows numerous times live and they refuse to
Speaker 1: play mister Jones live, the song that made them.
Speaker 2: Yeah, come on, man, like with that?
Speaker 3: Is it? Is it Weezer who refuses to play one
Speaker 3: of the songs?
Speaker 1: No, it's you're talking about Radiohead that won't play Creep.
Speaker 3: That's what it is. Yeah, So I'm with you. You
Speaker 3: go there to see them play their hits and you
Speaker 3: can't get tired of your own song.
Speaker 1: Wow, Whether you get tired of it or not, it's
Speaker 1: not for you. It's for the fans, right.
Speaker 3: I mean, if Alice Blue Gown stops playing wagon Wheel
Speaker 3: like I am gonna love it, like.
Speaker 1: Well, we only play that for Ryan to be honest.
Speaker 1: Speaking of Alice Blue Gown. Tomorrow, our second single will
Speaker 1: be released. Yeah, the song that you actually like. I
Speaker 1: remember when we opened up for third op Line, you
Speaker 1: said that one song Bent, I really like that song,
Speaker 1: and we were going to release a second another song,
Speaker 1: and I was like, you know what, We played that
Speaker 1: third Oplde song Like. One of the biggest reactions we
Speaker 1: got was for this song called Bent, So we recorded
Speaker 1: it when we recorded Helios. We've been sitting on this
Speaker 1: song for a while and we didn't want to put
Speaker 1: them both out at the same time. So now tomorrow
Speaker 1: you'll be able to get the new single on Apple
Speaker 1: and Spotify and iTunes and everywhere music streams.
Speaker 2: So check that out.
Speaker 3: It'll be out tomorrow, all right, Happy to donate my
Speaker 3: dollar twenty nine to Apple to get bent. Are you
Speaker 3: just swimming in the money now? I mean, are you
Speaker 3: going to start making air guitar strings as your next
Speaker 3: cash grab?
Speaker 4: Now?
Speaker 1: Won't be doing that. We will be playing in Summerset
Speaker 1: next Friday. We got a remote in Summerset at the
Speaker 1: Virginia for KSR.
Speaker 2: We'll be doing that in the morning.
Speaker 1: And then Alice blew down at night and the next
Speaker 1: Saturday we're going to be in Lexington, so we're doing
Speaker 1: back to back shows. Next Saturday, we're going to be
Speaker 1: the headlining band at Seaton Fest in Lexington.
Speaker 3: So ah, congrats, that's awesome, So.
Speaker 1: Come out for that that's going on next and you
Speaker 1: got a new guitarist finally we do.
Speaker 2: Yep, so were ready to roll.
Speaker 1: Uh did you watch any of the game last night,
Speaker 1: because if you didn't turn it on in the first
Speaker 1: couple of minutes, I mean you didn't really catch it
Speaker 1: much of the game because it was over from the
Speaker 1: very beginning.
Speaker 3: Yeah, it was like a thirty point game when I
Speaker 3: turned on in the first half, So I didn't watch
Speaker 3: much of it, Shannon, which I'm happy for Shay Gilles,
Speaker 3: Alexander and the youngest team to ever make the NBA Finals,
Speaker 3: but sad to see Julius Randall and an ant Man go.
Speaker 3: But clearly, okay, see was the better team here.
Speaker 1: Timberwolf score nine points in the first quarter, nine that
Speaker 1: was it. But uh, yeah, Shae getting the MVP. I
Speaker 1: mean again, we've talked about this last week on KSR.
Speaker 1: I don't think we hit it much on the pre show.
Speaker 1: But if you were to tell me that that guy
Speaker 1: is going to be the MVP of a conference finals
Speaker 1: in the playoffs, don't.
Speaker 2: I don't know that I could believe you.
Speaker 3: I'd ask you where Quade Green is now, Like, what
Speaker 3: is he up to? He must be win NBA fun.
Speaker 1: No, not that Shaye was bad or anything like that,
Speaker 1: but I just wouldn't think that he would have. You know,
Speaker 1: we talk about guys that have had breakout careers, breakout seasons.
Speaker 1: I just didn't think that Shaye would be a guy
Speaker 1: that would end up dropping forty in a playoff game
Speaker 1: and end up the MVP.
Speaker 3: But here we are, Well, they get Chet Holmgrom, that
Speaker 3: skinny guy that's that's made waves, and also Cason Wallace
Speaker 3: doing some great things for the Thunder, so they may
Speaker 3: just run away with it. But I guess Pacers Knicks
Speaker 3: tonight Chanton is three to one, Pacers could finally clinch it, right.
Speaker 1: I think the Pacers close it out and we get
Speaker 1: the Indiana Pacers and the Oklahoma City Thunder that the
Speaker 1: finals that everybody asked for.
Speaker 3: The finals the NBA hates because the ratings wise right,
Speaker 3: and they have to hate this well.
Speaker 1: I mean, you know, we talk about nobody really knows
Speaker 1: who Shay, Gilgess Alexander is.
Speaker 2: Well they're gonna know.
Speaker 3: Yeah, this will be a great stage for the really
Speaker 3: the national audience to figure out who Shay is. And
Speaker 3: and the foul merchant who indors Burnt kept calling him
Speaker 3: the other night. I thought that was a little rude,

Speaker 1: would be a lot of excitement about Otega Away coming back.
Speaker 1: You wouldn't see it based on our phone lines right now.
Speaker 1: I said, give us a let's talk about how excited
Speaker 1: you are. And I think that you know, this was
Speaker 1: probably just a situation where fans already expected a way
Speaker 1: to come back, and if he didn't come back, then
Speaker 1: people would want to talk about it. Right.
Speaker 3: Well, yeah, and we've we've figured out this science over
Speaker 3: many years. We talk about sports now calls, but we'll
Speaker 3: you know, we talk about giant pumpkins growing and Grandma's
Speaker 3: eera calls in to tell us about vines. So it's
Speaker 3: it's the beauty of this show. Maybe some people are
Speaker 3: getting ready for graduation. It's a big day here in Lexington,
Speaker 3: right with Yeah, a lot of traffic out there already,
Speaker 3: so maybe give yourself a few extra minutes. But uh,
Speaker 3: do you remember your graduation channing. It's like maybe the
Speaker 3: longest day of the year. Oh my gosh, it was terrible.
Speaker 3: I just wait too long.
Speaker 1: I just wanted to get my name called, walk up there,
Speaker 1: get my piece of paper, and walk out and go
Speaker 1: to dinner.
Speaker 2: That was it.
Speaker 3: That's that's you know, that's the I'm glad they let
Speaker 3: you walk after all the high jinks you pulled in college.
Speaker 3: I mean, I'm sure it was kind of last minute.
Speaker 1: I didn't do anything in college, you know, like we
Speaker 1: always had like a senior prank. Did you guys have
Speaker 1: a senior prank in all I'm trying to think nothing
Speaker 1: that was like that memorable. I mean, i'd have to
Speaker 1: think about it. I don't think we did. I think
Speaker 1: we once had somebody, I don't I don't think it
Speaker 1: was my class somebody somehow. I don't know how they
Speaker 1: did this, ended up putting a cow on top.
Speaker 3: Of the school on the roof. They can't go downstairs.
Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't know how they got it up there.
Speaker 1: I don't know how they ever got it back down.
Speaker 1: But that was one of the senior pranks that they
Speaker 1: did at my school and a cow on the roof.
Speaker 2: How you know you're out in.
Speaker 1: The country when you got when you get people putting
Speaker 1: cows on the roof. We'll take your calls. Coming up
Speaker 1: next KSR pre show Count and Crows. May not play
Speaker 1: it live, but we'll play it on the pre show.
Speaker 1: It's mister Jones. It'll be joining mister Jones and mister
Speaker 1: Franklin coming up next hour for KSR. Until then you
Speaker 1: got mister Rutledge and mister Dude here with you. Uh,
Speaker 1: speaking of Matt, I thought of Matt when I saw
Speaker 1: this story. I don't know if you saw this, Billy,
Speaker 1: but in Bell County there was a bear that got
Speaker 1: into a house and when the owners of the house
Speaker 1: walked in, the bear was sitting on top of the
Speaker 1: stove and their kids on the stove on the stove. Like,
Speaker 1: what do you do if you walk into your house
Speaker 1: and there's just a bear in your house. I'm probably
Speaker 1: gonna run, like.
Speaker 3: Hell, slowly walk backwards, you know. I turn to the stove,
Speaker 3: Like what do you do? Turn on the stove?
Speaker 2: That'll get them off there.
Speaker 3: Yeah, No, that does sound like a Matt story. You know,
Speaker 3: I'm excited for you guys to hear Matt the Matt
Speaker 3: Jones Show tonight on News Radio eight forty with me
Speaker 3: and Drew joining him. If you haven't heard the podcast already,
Speaker 3: I had to find ten news topics, Shannon, then we
Speaker 3: discuss them with Matt. Can I tell you at least
Speaker 3: one of them? Let's go to share one of them?
Speaker 3: So they went from newsy to silly. I'm gonna give
Speaker 3: you the silliest one I had, Shannon. Okay, there's a
Speaker 3: TikTok trend right now where guys are calling their friends
Speaker 3: at night and wishing them good night. It's called calling
Speaker 3: your homies and telling them goodnight? Shannon? Do you think
Speaker 3: that's uh? It's actually a funny trend. People are answering
Speaker 3: the phone like what what nearly just like, hey, I
Speaker 3: just want to say good night.
Speaker 2: It's kind of sweet. I a lot.
Speaker 3: It's kind of a sweet thing.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 3: Well, the people are just like, you know, what are
Speaker 3: you calling me for? Get the hell out of here,
Speaker 3: you know.
Speaker 1: And I would never say that if somebody called to
Speaker 1: tell me good night when you call him wish me
Speaker 1: a good night tonight tonight. Yeah, yeah, I'll do it tonight. Okay,
Speaker 1: just don't call me while I'm at OVW. I'll be
Speaker 1: at OVW on live TV till nine o'clock. After that
Speaker 1: you can call me.
Speaker 3: And whenever, when are you out by? Like when Shannon
Speaker 3: the dude's getting up early, so you're out by eleven years?
Speaker 2: You mean out by like you mean like a sleep sleep?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, dude, I'm getting up at like five o'clock,
Speaker 1: so I'm probably gonna be out, but any luck, I'll
Speaker 1: be asleep by ten thirty, So call me at like, call.
Speaker 3: Me at old man ten thirty.
Speaker 1: You don't have to get up at five o'clock in
Speaker 1: the morning. Don't tell me I'm an old man. You
Speaker 1: got to be up that early. And I don't get
Speaker 1: the rolling here at nine o'clock.
Speaker 3: All you gotta do once you got to do to
Speaker 3: get to your eight hours. I understand.
Speaker 1: No, it's it's more like six. But anyway, yeah, call
Speaker 1: me at ten fifteen. Wish me a good night, and
Speaker 1: then I will expect that every night after that.
Speaker 3: No, you're not getting it every night, but it is
Speaker 3: a sweet gesture. Maybe we should call our homies more
Speaker 3: and wish them good.
Speaker 1: Night, you know, I know you're the younger guy here,
Speaker 1: so you keep up with all these trends. Speaking of
Speaker 1: the TikTok trends, there's another trend going on, a couple
Speaker 1: of them, actually, I want to know if you know
Speaker 1: of either one of these. And it's a trend when
Speaker 1: it comes to decluttering your house. We've looked at your garage.
Speaker 1: It's an absolute mess.
Speaker 3: Please don't share that.
Speaker 1: There is a new trend when it comes to decluttering,
Speaker 1: and you have to take on the mindset of what
Speaker 1: I save this if it were covered and poop, and
Speaker 1: if it's something that you would say, Nope, I've got
Speaker 1: to keep it. I would clean it off and keep it.
Speaker 1: Then you keep it. Otherwise you take it and you
Speaker 1: throw it into the garbage. But I don't know, Billy.
Speaker 1: I think if it were me and I had to
Speaker 1: take on that mindset, I would just burn the house down.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it now.
Speaker 1: I know you may be thinking, wait a minute, dude,
Speaker 1: weren't you just telling us last week that you reached
Speaker 1: into a toilet to grab an ear pod that fell
Speaker 1: out of your ear. Yeah, that was number one. I
Speaker 1: draw the line at number two. All right, we all
Speaker 1: have our our limits. I'm drawing the line at number two.
Speaker 1: So if I had to take on that mindset, I
Speaker 1: think I'm throwing everything away in the house.
Speaker 3: So you're put You're okay with putting urine in your ear,
Speaker 3: but not people matter. No, I'm not doing that. That's
Speaker 3: the line for Shannon.
Speaker 2: Absolutely not.
Speaker 3: You know, I'm a bit of a hoarder. So I
Speaker 3: bet you could find something in my garage that was
Speaker 3: covered in something that looks like a little feople matter too.
Speaker 3: But I like this thought experiment because I would probably
Speaker 3: throw away a lot of things that probably need to
Speaker 3: do this thought experiment. So Shannon doesn't share that photo
Speaker 3: of my garage one day.
Speaker 1: I'm still gotta I've got Matt Jones Bruce Butt picture
Speaker 1: I'm hanging on to, and your hoarder garage that you
Speaker 1: you're just the gatekeeper of truth, that's right now. See,
Speaker 1: I've probably got plenty of pictures on Ryan. I just
Speaker 1: need something. I just need something on Drew.
Speaker 3: You know you need a little blackmail and everybody.
Speaker 2: Yeah, that's right, Yeah, we got well the Mario thing.
Speaker 1: I don't know if that video of him in Seattle
Speaker 1: when he was yeah, telling us inconsistent here's the.
Speaker 3: Thing about Mario's generation, even in and even my generation
Speaker 3: to a degree that you know, we've lived online and
Speaker 3: so there you know, it's impossible to find somebody that
Speaker 3: doesn't have something embarrassing about them on social media somewhere.
Speaker 3: Right when you've grown up with a Facebook account to
Speaker 3: a degree, there's just gonna be some stuff. So, I mean,
Speaker 3: I think we could find an old photo of me
Speaker 3: and Mario that that maybe you could hold on for
Speaker 3: a while, Shannon, you don't have any embarrassing photos out there?
Speaker 1: Maybe a yeah, well, I mean Ryan post them every
Speaker 1: time it's my birthday. He posts either me the Dorothy
Speaker 1: picture or me and the ovw ring from Netflix that.
Speaker 3: Overheld a face down on the on the mat. Yeah,
Speaker 3: that's one of my favorites too.
Speaker 2: Yes.
Speaker 1: The other trend, I want to know if you could
Speaker 1: do this, do you know what the seventy five hard challenges?
Speaker 1: I've heard of this, but I don't know this specific.
Speaker 1: So a strict diet with no cheap meals or alcohol.
Speaker 1: And I believe that the seventy five is you got
Speaker 1: to do this for seventy five days. I think that's
Speaker 1: the part of this, right. Yeah, so you got to
Speaker 1: have a strict diet with no cheap meals or alcohol. Two,
Speaker 1: not one, two forty five minutes daily workouts.
Speaker 2: I'm out. You get forty five minutes with me. You
Speaker 2: don't get two, you get one.
Speaker 3: No one's fine.
Speaker 1: Drinking a gallon of water a day. I feel like
Speaker 1: I would be floating if I drink a gallon of
Speaker 1: water a day.
Speaker 3: Oh, I could do that. I could, Okay, I couldn't
Speaker 3: do the milk. A gallon a day, I could do water.
Speaker 1: And then reading ten pages of a self improvement book.
Speaker 3: Easy, easy, I could. I'm not much of a reader.
Speaker 1: I could read ten pages if you promised me a
Speaker 1: personal pampizza at the end of it, like the book
Speaker 1: it you know.
Speaker 3: A pizza hut. Yeah, reading program.
Speaker 2: So you know.
Speaker 1: I think I've been doing a version of this most
Speaker 1: of my life. They say, though, if you don't get
Speaker 1: the seventy five days, you have to start over. I
Speaker 1: just keep starting over, because there's no way I'm going
Speaker 1: seventy five days without a cheap mill or a drop
Speaker 1: of alcohol.
Speaker 3: I think we could do this, though. I mean, you
Speaker 3: can do your regular forty five minute workout, but let's
Speaker 3: say for the three or four hours you do of
Speaker 3: producing in the mornings, we give you an exercise ball
Speaker 3: to sit on, Shannon, or maybe a we could give
Speaker 3: you a standing desk that rises and we could put
Speaker 3: a little treadmill in there and you could do it.
Speaker 3: I'm not going to be no, no, it's about time
Speaker 3: you put your your health as a priority. Shit, And
Speaker 3: so I think an exercise ball while you're doing the
Speaker 3: Jery Eve show would be appropriate.
Speaker 1: The cheap mill is the hardest thing for me, Like, no,
Speaker 1: no cheap mills, Like I can't have anything like what
Speaker 1: I got to eight just dry salad. Not doing that,
Speaker 1: especially for seventy five days.
Speaker 2: What are we doing?
Speaker 3: Yeah, what's your cheap meal?
Speaker 2: You have to enjoy something in life? Pizza?
Speaker 3: Pizza? Oh yeah, yeah, I mean I think that counts
Speaker 3: as as a champion's gold star. I hate to be
Speaker 3: the rival of Matt and Skyline, but give me a
Speaker 3: little gold star.
Speaker 1: Hey, five nine, two eighty seven, let's talk to forty.
Speaker 1: What's up forty?
Speaker 4: Alright, good morning, ladies.
Speaker 3: It's good to meet you guys in.
Speaker 4: Oldsbro Cup weeks ago.
Speaker 3: Yeah you too.
Speaker 4: I'm excited.
Speaker 5: I'm excited about the oh Tech all the.
Speaker 4: Way coming back in the team next year and all that.
Speaker 3: But I gotta talk about this high.
Speaker 4: School prank thing y'all brought up.
Speaker 3: All right, rive at school, we took three bailly goats.
Speaker 4: We're plainting one, two, and four and to let them
Speaker 4: loose in school in the middle of the r.
Speaker 5: I'm pretty sure they're still looking for the third goat.
Speaker 3: Yeah, that's a.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: Well, we always had a senior prank every year, and
Speaker 1: I never was a part of it, Billy because I
Speaker 1: didn't want. You know, back in high school, I was
Speaker 1: kind of quiet, didn't really hang out with the popular kids,
Speaker 1: so I wasn't really a part of the pranks.
Speaker 2: But there was always something like that.
Speaker 3: Well, they always threatened us. They're like, we will withhold
Speaker 3: your diploma, you will not walk in graduation. That was
Speaker 3: enough in my scare me exactly.
Speaker 1: I'm not I'm not going through four years of this
Speaker 1: not to get that piece of paper that says I graduated.
Speaker 2: So that's not going to happen.
Speaker 3: But the Billy goats, that's a that's a great one.
Speaker 2: Let's go to Logan. What's up Logan?
Speaker 5: Hey guys, what you guys are doing? Well? A couple
Speaker 5: of things. First off, about your garden. I know you
Speaker 5: guys have been talking about keeping the critters out whatnot.
Speaker 5: On our large garden on my parents' farm, it was
Speaker 5: too big defense in so we would put a radio
Speaker 5: in the center of it. It was constantly making noise,
Speaker 5: because noise is going to keep critters away more than
Speaker 5: any sense or boundary.
Speaker 2: It's a good idea.
Speaker 1: So you're thinking, do you think that a high pitched
Speaker 1: nose whistle would keep away all the animals from my pumpkins?
Speaker 5: I think anything at a talking volume or louder is
Speaker 5: going to keep most critters away.
Speaker 2: That's kind of brilliant.
Speaker 1: Actually, I don't know that my neighbor would love be
Speaker 1: twenty four hours of radio going on in his backyard
Speaker 1: or my backyard.
Speaker 3: Do the raccoons here, Glenn back and they just can't
Speaker 3: handle it? Or I mean, that's interesting. I guess I
Speaker 3: would work.
Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, like I said, the volume is up
Speaker 5: to you. But we just always did a normal like
Speaker 5: you could talk over a kind of volume and we
Speaker 5: never had issues. But secondly, so you know, Otega released
Speaker 5: his coming back video yesterday and I noticed, and a
Speaker 5: lot of people did too, that this was filmed before
Speaker 5: he cut his hair, which was several weeks ago. So
Speaker 5: do you think that from the beginning his plan was
Speaker 5: to come back but he still wanted to go through
Speaker 5: the process, or do we believe his he was off,
Speaker 5: you know, all two feet in kind of thing up
Speaker 5: until the end.
Speaker 1: I think that he was coming back to Kentucky from
Speaker 1: the very beginning. I think that you know, he knew
Speaker 1: what he was projected to be drafted as you know,
Speaker 1: late second round, but he wanted to go through the process.
Speaker 1: And when you go through the process, you have to
Speaker 1: say publicly I'm all in.
Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna go eh, I'm halfway yet.
Speaker 1: Well, as soon as you do that, that's going to
Speaker 1: be a turn off for any NBA team that's listening
Speaker 1: to that, any NBA team that maybe would have a
Speaker 1: workout scheduled with you. You know, if I hear that,
Speaker 1: Billy and I'm a GM or no inner of a team,
Speaker 1: I'm going to go and we don't want to waste
Speaker 1: our time with that guy.
Speaker 2: He's clearly going back. I think you have to play along.
Speaker 1: You have to play the game right and say that
Speaker 1: you are all in on the NBA draft. But I
Speaker 1: think clearly Logan from the very beginning he was coming
Speaker 1: back to Kentucky.
Speaker 5: Yeah, all right, that's very I just want to see
Speaker 5: you guys thought on it. You guys have a good one.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the Kicky logan. Yahy. Would you agree with that?
Speaker 3: No? I actually disagree to a degree, Shannon, because let
Speaker 3: to a degree, okay, yeah, because let's say, like he's
Speaker 3: going through this process, he's saying the right things like
Speaker 3: you're saying, and then the Timberwolves come up and say, hey,
Speaker 3: we want to draft you at the end of the
Speaker 3: first round. I mean, is he just going to stay
Speaker 3: with his video that he made a month or two ago. No,
Speaker 3: it's that's a great observation by the caller. And I
Speaker 3: also saw some people online say that, do you think
Speaker 3: that he filmed a video at the same time saying
Speaker 3: thank you to Kentucky and you know, just the exact
Speaker 3: opposite to NBA. Yeah, I would I would probably say not.
Speaker 3: I would probably say he would just release a statement
Speaker 3: and maybe thank the fans. Maybe it doesn't have to
Speaker 3: be a video in that regard, but that would be funny.
Speaker 3: If he had two drafts on his Twitter profile, Shannon,
Speaker 3: one was I'm back at Kentucky and then the other
Speaker 3: was I'm not but keen observation that he did still have.
Speaker 3: It was before his haircut when he made that video
Speaker 3: that he announced. And but maybe maybe there is some
Speaker 3: truth to what you're saying, Shanning. He knew all along
Speaker 3: he wanted to come back.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, you knew all along making that video knowing
Speaker 1: that he's gonna come back. But then yeah, I mean,
Speaker 1: if a team said we're gonna pick you in the
Speaker 1: first round, of course he would change his mind at
Speaker 1: that point. But I think that, yeah, realistically he knew,
Speaker 1: you know, he he You know, the thing about it
Speaker 1: is you have to be self aware. You have to
Speaker 1: understand you're not a first round draft pick right now,
Speaker 1: but you could be. And I think that he realized
Speaker 1: he wasn't a first pick, first round draft pick right now,
Speaker 1: but he could be. So he's going to make that
Speaker 1: video and have it probably saved in his drafts and
Speaker 1: you know, have that ready to go from when he
Speaker 1: was ready to announce that he's coming back to Kentucky.
Speaker 3: In best case scenario, I mean, he has a two
Speaker 3: way contract, right, I mean, it's still a grind, man,
Speaker 3: You're still waiting until you hit free agency to have
Speaker 3: a bigger contract. Vice versa is you're you're back at Kentucky.
Speaker 3: You're a preseason SEC player the year, you're the beloved
Speaker 3: by one of the best, if not the best, fan
Speaker 3: base in the sports. So it's it's quite the decision
Speaker 3: to make, but the writing was on the wall too,
Speaker 3: to say the least.
Speaker 2: We could all celebrate.
Speaker 1: Always return tomorrow at the KSR Golf Scramble with a little.
Speaker 2: Silk Velvet whiskey.
Speaker 1: Be out there and you've heard me talking about it
Speaker 1: if you want to try it. I don't know which
Speaker 1: hole they're going to be on, but that's the one
Speaker 1: I want to hang out with the Silk Velvet whiskey guys,
Speaker 1: whatever hold they're on. It's one hundred and seven proof,
Speaker 1: aged at least six years in age to perfection. Every

Speaker 1: They will ship but only in Kentucky, so keep that

Speaker 1: each with a story on its own and bold floral

Speaker 1: love bourbon. It's all at Silk Velvet Whisky dot com.

Speaker 1: social media as well. They've got a link to where
Speaker 1: you can you know exactly where you can find their
Speaker 1: liquor and check it out Silk Velvet Whiskey and look
Speaker 1: forward to trying some of that tomorrow, Billy, you can
Speaker 1: have a sip before you tee off little silk whiskey tomorrow.
Speaker 1: We're going to take a break. We'll be right back
Speaker 1: and take more of your phone calls. Eight five nine,
Speaker 1: twenty two eighty seven. It is the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1: Final segment of the KSR pre Show. Shanna the Dude
Speaker 1: and Billy Rutlidge is gonna turn things over to Matt
Speaker 1: Drew and myself coming up next hour for KSR.
Speaker 2: Where was I gonna go?
Speaker 3: Oh?
Speaker 1: Yeah, yesterday we were talking on KSR about Billy Gillespie.
Speaker 1: I think a caller brought up would Billy Gillespie be
Speaker 1: welcomed back or should he be welcomed back at Kentucky.
Speaker 2: Billy. I think we had this conversation on the pre
Speaker 2: show maybe a year.
Speaker 1: Ago, and I feel like you had very strong opinions
Speaker 1: about Billy Gillespie being honored, And my argument was, what
Speaker 1: exactly are we honoring.
Speaker 2: About Billy Gillespie?
Speaker 1: Like, what's going to be in the highlight footage, like
Speaker 1: when we put it up on the jumbo tron. I
Speaker 1: guess we're gonna get the block free throw. We're gonna
Speaker 1: get block free throw. See Coach of the Year Cutler
Speaker 1: chancing Billy Billy around the hallway in the offices.
Speaker 3: That'll be on the video montage.
Speaker 1: But do you think the best way maybe to honor him,
Speaker 1: if we're going to do that, is to bring him
Speaker 1: back with Tarleton.
Speaker 3: Yes, because that way, when people boo it's not solely
Speaker 3: because of the terrible job he did at Kentucky, it's
Speaker 3: because he's also bringing in an opposing team, right, and
Speaker 3: then you can boo the opposing coach. So I do
Speaker 3: think that's that would probably be the way to do it,
Speaker 3: instead of waiting until he retires and then you can
Speaker 3: have a game right after the after you honor him
Speaker 3: and We've seen them do that in the past, so
Speaker 3: why not Billy G. But I got killed, Shannon. I'd
Speaker 3: like to remind you I got killed for having that
Speaker 3: opinion for bringing back Billy g and and I don't
Speaker 3: think there's any problem to honoring one of your own,
Speaker 3: even though it didn't go swimmingly what you said.
Speaker 2: You know, he did get Coach of the Year in
Speaker 2: the SEC in the first year.
Speaker 3: Come on, now, I mean, now the block free throw thing.
Speaker 3: I there's a reason you've never seen that before in basketball.
Speaker 3: I mean there there is a wackiness to that, but
Speaker 3: wackedness to the entire era of Billy there in Kentucky
Speaker 3: there is Uh. So I you know, I think it
Speaker 3: does eventually happen because time heals all wounds.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree with you.
Speaker 1: I think that, you know, that's the best way to
Speaker 1: do it, though, if we're going to honor him, and Bill,
Speaker 1: if you don't mind, Uh, what what's up?
Speaker 3: Huh?
Speaker 2: What'd you say?
Speaker 3: I was gonna say? With Tarleton State?
Speaker 2: Right with Charleton State? Yeah? Bill, turned your speakerphone off
Speaker 2: or your what the line?
Speaker 1: We got?
Speaker 2: Bill? But I can hear myself in the background. Bill,
Speaker 2: you're up? What's up.
Speaker 5: All right.
Speaker 4: Hey, did you guys hear me?
Speaker 2: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got you. Oh go ahead, Bill.
Speaker 4: Right up your alley. Man, Hey, I was gonna say, Shannon,
Speaker 4: I've got something right up here. Ally all right, but.
Speaker 2: I'm gonna give you one more try.
Speaker 3: All right, your phone's cutting out a little bit. What
Speaker 3: do you got?
Speaker 4: Okay, I got I got you. Hey, So, uh, my
Speaker 4: son and I just went to Cleveland to go watch
Speaker 4: a c d C last night. We're driving back right
Speaker 4: now listening to your show.
Speaker 3: That's awesome, man, Yeah, hello to you and your son.
Speaker 4: Yeah, thanks, uh so uh yo. I just thought that
Speaker 4: was a cool trip taking him up there. Ad put
Speaker 4: on a really cool show. I just thought I thought
Speaker 4: you'd like to know that they're still rocking out, and
Speaker 4: you know, we're just listening to the show on the
Speaker 4: way back, excited about away, coming back and ready to
Speaker 4: go for the year.
Speaker 1: Thanks for the call, Bill, appreciate it, man, gladad you
Speaker 1: got to see ac DC. I was actually offered a
Speaker 1: free ticket, was it last week?
Speaker 2: Went in there in Nashville.
Speaker 1: I was offered a free ticket, but it was only
Speaker 1: like a Tuesday night. A free ticket to go see
Speaker 1: ac DC in Nashville, and I turned a long way.
Speaker 1: I turned it down because I you know, what am
Speaker 1: I going to do like call in to work and
Speaker 1: say I'm sick. I can't make it because I went
Speaker 1: to the I ain't gonna do that to you.
Speaker 3: You never do that. No, I'll be rare.
Speaker 2: You hear that, bosses, so you're listening. I could have
Speaker 2: gone to a C d C.
Speaker 1: But I am so committed to this job that I
Speaker 1: turned down a five hundred dollars ticket to go to
Speaker 1: see ac DC in Nashville so that I could be
Speaker 1: here to produce Jerry Eves and Tom Leach's show and
Speaker 1: be here with you, Billy.
Speaker 3: That's amazing, indicated, I am. Well, yeah, well, thank you
Speaker 3: Shannon so much. Thank you for being a shining example
Speaker 3: for all the children out there. You know there. It's
Speaker 3: amazing how smells and songs can instantly transport you back
Speaker 3: to different places and memories that you've had in your life.
Speaker 3: And every time I hear thunderstruck, I mean I get shivers, Shannon,
Speaker 3: like it is just college drinking. College drinking.
Speaker 1: Okay, I already knew I wasn't you know. I kind
Speaker 1: of already knew where we're going with that the Thunderstand name.
Speaker 3: Yeah. I will never be able to hear that song
Speaker 3: the same way again.
Speaker 1: Did you see Terry Bradshaw calling out Aaron Rodgers yesterday?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 1: What is Terry Bradshaw went on in some some local
Speaker 1: I guess sports radio talk show and says, what the
Speaker 1: Steelers are doing? You know, considering Aaron Rodgers as their
Speaker 1: next quarterback a joke? He says, there's the quote, what
Speaker 1: are you doing? Well, what are you going to do?
Speaker 1: Bring them in for one year? Are you kidding me?
Speaker 1: Aaron Rodgers needs to stay in California and chew on
Speaker 1: some bark in a whisper to the gods out there.
Speaker 1: Terry Bradshaw, obviously a legendary quarterback for the Steelers, is
Speaker 1: not a fan to say the least of bringing Aaron
Speaker 1: Rodgers in for one season at Pittsburgh. But you know what,
Speaker 1: I still say, bringing Aaron Rodgers in better than whatever
Speaker 1: else you got going on for one year? So why
Speaker 1: not take one shot at going to the super Bowl
Speaker 1: with Rodgers?
Speaker 3: I love Terry. He's getting to that point where he's
Speaker 3: just gonna say wherever he feels like Shannon, Right, you
Speaker 3: get to that age and you just you just start
Speaker 3: popping off. But Terry's right to a degree, it is ridiculous.
Speaker 3: They've given Aaron Rodgers all the power in this situation.
Speaker 3: But unfortunately, you know what else are the Steelers going
Speaker 3: to do? They let Justin Fields and Russell Wilson walk.
Speaker 3: I mean, they really don't have that good of an
Speaker 3: option besides Mason Rodgers. I mean, do you want Mason.
Speaker 2: R rd you going to be your your savior and
Speaker 2: take you to the promised land.
Speaker 3: I don't say you. You passed on a lot of
Speaker 3: guys in the draft too, so I mean I think
Speaker 3: that you've you've made this bed, so you've got to
