Speaker 1: Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.
Speaker 1: Today is Tuesday, March eighteenth. I am Billy Rutlich along
Speaker 1: with Shannon the Dude, and you can give us a
Speaker 1: call on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line. It's eight
Speaker 1: five nine two eight oh two two eight seven, Texas
Speaker 1: at five oh two two six five sixty six five
Speaker 1: six and is always the chaos. KSR pre Show is
Speaker 1: brought to you by ital X Fine Italian Dining in Lexington.
Speaker 1: That's where I'm at today, high atop the City Center,
Speaker 1: along with Shannon the Dude, who is in Louisville, joining
Speaker 1: me remotely as he does every morning. Good morning, dude,
Speaker 1: what's up now?
Speaker 2: Doing well? Man? I'm just wondering if I could get
Speaker 2: some gas money from you, uh to get to Milwaukee
Speaker 2: later on this week. It's gonna be a long trip
Speaker 2: and uh gas is not cheap, so I thought maybe
Speaker 2: you could uh throw a little a little money in
Speaker 2: the pool and see if we could get enough to
Speaker 2: get to Milwaukee.
Speaker 1: Not me, I go to Costco to save I guess
Speaker 1: ten cents every time I fill up on because of
Speaker 1: my membership. But Mark Pope on The Mark Pope Show,
Speaker 1: last night saying that he would give Kentucky fans gas money.
Speaker 1: It's just a seven hour drive to Milwaukee.
Speaker 3: Show.
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, yeah. First of all, let's let's go back
Speaker 2: on what you just said there. Yeah, you and I
Speaker 2: we go to Clark's pumping Shop or Clark's pumping We
Speaker 2: pomp We shop at Clark's, not cost Carrio, Clark's pumping Shop.
Speaker 2: But anyway, yeah, I don't know any man. You know,
Speaker 2: Pope I think made a slight mistake when he agreed
Speaker 2: to pay for everyone's ice cream at that game at
Speaker 2: Roup earlier this year. Now he's agreed that he will
Speaker 2: We're saying that he will pay people's gas money if
Speaker 2: they need it to get to Milwaukee. I don't think
Speaker 2: that was a wise decision, because now you're gonna have
Speaker 2: all these freeloaders just saying, hey, give me some money.
Speaker 2: And then, you know, one guy even took him up
Speaker 2: and not even asking for gas money, asking for a
Speaker 2: plane ticket from Florida. He didn't say he's gonna buy
Speaker 2: your plane ticket to get there. He said gas money.
Speaker 2: So don't don't abuse it, folks.
Speaker 1: Now, the responses came been quickly after he made that
Speaker 1: that statement on air last night.
Speaker 2: One.
Speaker 1: You got to think his wife probably needs a little
Speaker 1: gas money, remember her her car breaking down the middle
Speaker 1: of the road and Mark Pope having to come save her.
Speaker 1: He did mention that that ice cream bill was a
Speaker 1: little bit bigger than he thought it was gonna be shading,
Speaker 1: So I think you're exactly right. But he's gonna he's
Speaker 1: gonna do it again, and it just shows his connection
Speaker 1: to this fan basin.
Speaker 2: But I don't know how you're gonna reach.
Speaker 1: Him, But if you can get a hold of him,
Speaker 1: maybe he just seems like the type of guy that
Speaker 1: would give you gas money. Shannon, would you ever give
Speaker 1: me gas money?
Speaker 2: Dumm, No, but you can ask, Okay, you can pay
Speaker 2: for your own gas. You ever run out of gas
Speaker 2: before like that? I have, Actually, I was not even
Speaker 2: that long ago, ran out of gas coming back from
Speaker 2: Lexington for a remote in the iHeart vehicle. I was not.
Speaker 2: I was not very pleased at all with our promotions
Speaker 2: people that day because you know, you get a gas card, well,
Speaker 2: a gas card wouldn't work. And I'm like, you know,
Speaker 2: I had to do this before where I'm paying for
Speaker 2: you know, gas money out of my own pocket. I'm
Speaker 2: not doing that. I'm gonna I'm gonna just try to
Speaker 2: get back to the studio, and if I don't, one
Speaker 2: of them is going to have to come get me.
Speaker 2: And that's what happened. I ran out of gas and
Speaker 2: I sat there and they had to come bring me gas.
Speaker 1: Oh, they came and got you. Yes, I thought you
Speaker 1: were going to like start walking on the end of
Speaker 1: the stay.
Speaker 2: This gas card hadn't worked for months. I'm like, at
Speaker 2: some point, somebody's got to learn their lesson. So I
Speaker 2: made them have to come build me out and bring
Speaker 2: the gas tank on the side of the highway. I
Speaker 2: think that was last year. So instead of stopping for gas,
Speaker 2: it was paying yes, and paying for it out of
Speaker 2: my own pocket, which I've been doing.
Speaker 4: Wow.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you were so determined to not put any of
Speaker 1: your own money.
Speaker 2: But I've already done it. I've not done it anymore.
Speaker 1: Ran out of freaking gas. Yeah, because you were so stubborn,
Speaker 1: they had.
Speaker 2: And somebody had to stop what they were doing, go
Speaker 2: get a gas tank, fill it up and bring me
Speaker 2: gas on the side.
Speaker 1: I just love the image of you mumbling to yourself,
Speaker 1: They're going to learn today.
Speaker 2: Didn't fill up the tank I'm not trying to do
Speaker 2: you got a gas card. It's not that hard. Make
Speaker 2: sure it works.
Speaker 1: Did you feel like Kramer at all and Seinfeld trying
Speaker 1: to take that thing to the limit with that thing
Speaker 1: on E Because I always feel like I'm.
Speaker 2: Doing that when I'm not going to the gas. I'll
Speaker 2: do it all the time. It's like I've got it
Speaker 2: now to a science. Like when the light comes on,
Speaker 2: that's just a suggestion that you should get gas. It
Speaker 2: doesn't mean you really have to get gas. I'll wait
Speaker 2: till the little meter is all the way past that
Speaker 2: last it's got to be you know that last little
Speaker 2: block on there. I'll wait till let's pass that block
Speaker 2: about a you know, quarter of an inch, and then
Speaker 2: I go, okay, now it's now it's being for real,
Speaker 2: Like I need something on my gas tank that goes, hey,
Speaker 2: you're you're kind of out of gas. Now, okay, let's
Speaker 2: get serious. Now you really need to go get gas
Speaker 2: or you're gonna run out, Like right now, I need that.
Speaker 2: I'm with you.
Speaker 1: The light is just a suggestion, and my meter is
Speaker 1: past the e at this point, Like if it's Addie,
Speaker 1: we still got a few miles. Shit, it's got to
Speaker 1: be past e and going towards the floorboard.
Speaker 2: But you're right. Go to Clark's Pumping Shop to get
Speaker 2: your gas, and if.
Speaker 1: You're fueling up for Milwaukee, that's the perfect place for
Speaker 1: some gas and some food and drinks. Shannon, I've got
Speaker 1: my bracket right here, it's filled out, and I believe
Speaker 1: I have the perfect bracket.
Speaker 3: Hmm.
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, did you sign up for the iHeartRadio Perfect
Speaker 2: Bracket so.
Speaker 1: You can win a million dollars? Not yet, but I
Speaker 1: need to do that. You need to do that, and
Speaker 1: that's presented by Salceeritas.
Speaker 2: Thank you.
Speaker 1: I believe yes, so yes, do that on wlip dot
Speaker 1: com with a chance to win a million dollars. At
Speaker 1: one point, Warren Buffett was offering people a billion dollars
Speaker 1: if they had the perfect bracket. Shannon, I'm not sure
Speaker 1: if that's still the thing, But according to Yahoo's Sports,
Speaker 1: you have the odds of one in nine point two
Speaker 1: quin trillion of having a perfect bracket. That's one point
Speaker 1: nine to two, or excuse me, one in nine point
Speaker 1: two quinn trillion. A quinn trillion is a billion billion, Shannon.
Speaker 2: Don't be doing math with me. Nine o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 1: That is the odds that you have of having the
Speaker 1: perfect bracket. You have better odds of picking one specific
Speaker 1: grain of rice from all of the rice ever harvested
Speaker 1: in human history than having a perfect bracket.
Speaker 2: I believe it. It's it's impossible. I don't if anyone
Speaker 2: has ever said they've had the perfect bracket, they're a liar. Now,
Speaker 2: did you see what Twitter's doing? Did you see what
Speaker 2: Elon Musk is doing?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: What's he doing? So if you have the best bracket
Speaker 2: out of everyone on Twitter, I'm still calling it Twitter.
Speaker 2: It's not Exit's Twitter. He's gonna give you one hundred
Speaker 2: thousand dollars. Not bad, right, But if you get the
Speaker 2: perfect bracket on the Twitter bracket, perfect bracket, you get
Speaker 2: a free trip to Mars tomorrow. To Mars, No, I
Speaker 2: don't know if it's a one way trip. I don't
Speaker 2: know that they're going to bring you back. I don't
Speaker 2: think that's actually a good thing. That sounds like more
Speaker 2: of a punishment. But I filled it out last night.
Speaker 2: It popped up on Twitter. It said fill out the bracket.
Speaker 2: If you get the perfect bracket, you get a free
Speaker 2: trip to Mars from Eli. I think you're right.
Speaker 1: Sound like a return trip, I mean one it takes
Speaker 1: years to even get there, I believe. But Shannon, you
Speaker 1: saw that and you signed up. You will have to
Speaker 1: the trip to mar No, no, no, no, no, I don't.
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, I'm not gonna have the perfect bracket.
Speaker 2: I don't have to worry about it. But even if
Speaker 2: I did, I'm not gonna take the trip. I would
Speaker 2: just give it to you. Here you go, Billy, take
Speaker 2: your one way trip. Yeah.
Speaker 1: But I mean, if you do have a perfect bracket,
Speaker 1: you are an alien and maybe that's where you should live.
Speaker 2: Well, we'll see what kind of connection you get on Mars.
Speaker 2: We can barely get a connection in Kentucky every day
Speaker 2: for the show.
Speaker 1: One in nine point two, Quinn trillion, you have better
Speaker 1: odds of winning the powerball jackpot three times in a row.
Speaker 1: You also have better odds of getting struck by lightning
Speaker 1: five times in a row.
Speaker 2: That's happened to some people.
Speaker 1: You have better odds of correctly picking one specific person
Speaker 1: on Earth and then correctly picking out one specific.
Speaker 2: Hair on their head.
Speaker 1: Wow, the odds are not in your favor for having
Speaker 1: a perfect bracket, So don't get too torn up when
Speaker 1: your upset doesn't hiton.
Speaker 2: I can't even pick the se Sea bracket, so let
Speaker 2: alone you know my track record, I'm picking stuff. I'm
Speaker 2: ready to throw my bracket in the garbage about day
Speaker 2: two of the tournament a boy Friday. By the time
Speaker 2: Kentucky plays, my bracket will already be messed up.
Speaker 1: So I went one day and picked every game correctly,
Speaker 1: and I think everybody in my neighborhood heard about it.
Speaker 2: Shannon.
Speaker 1: I think I just started going door to door to
Speaker 1: that point just to say, hey, I'm in like the
Speaker 1: one percent tile or to the ninety nine percent tile.
Speaker 2: I think you need to check this out. But I
Speaker 2: think we all have the same sentiment.
Speaker 1: On Thursday of Friday, when the tournament starts, it's one
Speaker 1: of the most unproductive days of the year, is it not,
Speaker 1: doubt Yeah, nobody. Millions of dollars lost in the economy
Speaker 1: because people are just not paying attention to the work
Speaker 1: that they should be doing. And a former host of
Speaker 1: Kentucky Sports Radio, John Fantas, summed this up perfectly.
Speaker 2: I wanted to play this for you.
Speaker 5: If you're working Thursday or Friday, you're an idiot, Like
Speaker 5: forget forget it if you are actually going into the
Speaker 5: office and trying to do real work, are you kidding me?
Speaker 5: You're taking off if you're if you live in Louisville
Speaker 5: and your team that hasn't been in the NCAA tournament
Speaker 5: in six years, and you say, you know you've got
Speaker 5: that July trip to Disney and I really want to
Speaker 5: ride did the Space Mountain or the Star Wars ride
Speaker 5: at Hollywood Studios? And I can't afford to take off
Speaker 5: the one day of work where my team that's been
Speaker 5: six years in the making. Are you serious right now
Speaker 5: you're going to be at that game. And if you
Speaker 5: are in America watching our network right now, you are
Speaker 5: not working on Thursday or Friday. And if your boss
Speaker 5: has a problem with it, tell them they can go
Speaker 5: see Jeff Goodman and Rob Dolster because I'm not having it.
Speaker 1: That courtesy of the field of sixty eight and a
Speaker 1: little pointed there at not only Disney adults, which I
Speaker 1: kind of love, Shannon, but also Louisville fans. Man, You're
Speaker 1: not working in the city of Louisville on Thursday or
Speaker 1: Friday this week.
Speaker 2: You're not, no, And I'm glad that Kentucky at least
Speaker 2: has the seven thirty game on Friday night instead of
Speaker 2: having to play at new But yeah, for Google fans,
Speaker 2: you're kicking off the tournament. I mean talking about again
Speaker 2: Lowvo having a bad draw than having to play on
Speaker 2: noon of day number one of the tournament. But yeah,
Speaker 2: nobody's I mean, you're going to work, You're not paying attention.
Speaker 2: Everybody's watching it on their phone, sneak it off to
Speaker 2: the break room to watch the game. It should be
Speaker 2: a company holiday. I agree.
Speaker 1: Yeah, having it on the laptop while you're in a
Speaker 1: class in college was was what I remember the most.
Speaker 2: The cool thing in high school was I don't know
Speaker 2: if your teachers would do this, but like you know,
Speaker 2: if we were good, they would roll in the TV,
Speaker 2: feel it out, and wheel it out. You know, we
Speaker 2: didn't have t with flat screens on the wall. We
Speaker 2: had like the boob tube, the big boxy TV. They'd
Speaker 2: have to roll it in and they go, all right,
Speaker 2: let's hook it up when we watch you know, Kentucky
Speaker 2: playing at noon on a Friday afternoon. So those were
Speaker 2: always good memories.
Speaker 1: Now, I remember Kemba Walker in the Big East Tournament.
Speaker 1: Remember when he went off in that that run that
Speaker 1: he had for Yukon. I remember watching it on one
Speaker 1: of those TVs that was wheeled in by a substitute teacher.
Speaker 2: There's a little nostalgia to it, and it's the teacher.
Speaker 2: What do you think the real teacher was doing that day? Aha,
Speaker 2: took all works we could watch the game.
Speaker 1: It's right, It's the most wonderful time of the year
Speaker 1: because not only students but teachers would take off work
Speaker 1: to watch this great sporting event. You know, the Cats
Speaker 1: take on Troy on Friday, but before that we mentioned
Speaker 1: the Louisville Cardinals. They are the first game of the tournament,
Speaker 1: taking on Creighton in the eight to nine matchup, And
Speaker 1: really Louisville's been been the talk of the bracket and
Speaker 1: them getting snubbed to a degree, And I think that
Speaker 1: my favorite conspiracy theory by Louisville fan Shannon. I don't
Speaker 1: know if you've heard this, is that the committee got
Speaker 1: Louisville and Memphis just switched.
Speaker 2: Up, switch got them confused. Yeah, I just got them confused.
Speaker 1: Because the numbers actually almost perfectly align with this. If
Speaker 1: you look at the net, Louisville's twenty fourth Memphis is
Speaker 1: forty ninth. Remember, Memphis got a five, Louisville got a eighth.
Speaker 1: Right in the RPI, Louisville sixteen, Memphis is twenty two.
Speaker 1: In the KEMPOM Louisville's twenty three, Memphis thirty four. Even
Speaker 1: in the ESPN BPI Louisville is twenty, Memphis is forty two. Shannon,
Speaker 1: is it possible that this committee just happened to switch
Speaker 1: the two names because Memphis is actually an underdog as
Speaker 1: a five seed in their first game versus Colorado State.
Speaker 2: I mean, if it were Louisville and let's say there
Speaker 2: was a team called, I don't know, Lewisville that I
Speaker 2: could see and maybe them screwing it up. But Louisville
Speaker 2: and Memphis don't even sound alike. There's no way, there's
Speaker 2: no way that they could screw that up, right, you
Speaker 2: wouldn't think so. But you look at the numbers, they
Speaker 2: don't lie. How did mephis end up with a five seed?
Speaker 2: I have more of a problem with Memphis as a
Speaker 2: five seed than I'll do Level in eight.
Speaker 1: It just doesn't make sense. Like, just look at the net.
Speaker 1: Louisville twenty four, Memphis forty nine. The net is created
Speaker 1: by the NCAA. That is what they use to determine
Speaker 1: the order of the of the NCAA tournament. Yep, how
Speaker 1: is it possible that Memphis got that seeding compared to Louisville.
Speaker 1: It just does not make makes sense. And you know,
Speaker 1: I think the outrage is justified a little bit by
Speaker 1: Cardinal fans. But they get Lexington right, They get that
Speaker 1: benefit and they get a chance to take over this town.
Speaker 2: You always hear about the quad one wins and how
Speaker 2: much emphasis the selection committee puts on a team and
Speaker 2: how many quad one wins they get, and you look
Speaker 2: at North Carolina one in twelve against quad one teams,
Speaker 2: I think you can throw that out though. I mean,
Speaker 2: I think that it means something to a degree, But
Speaker 2: to say it's the be all end all how you
Speaker 2: did versus quad one teams, I don't think that it
Speaker 2: means as much. If you look at how North Carolina
Speaker 2: got in this.
Speaker 1: Year, one in nine point two quintrillion, you have better
Speaker 1: odds of seeing Shannon the Dude have a speaking role
Speaker 1: in a movie than having a perfect You're.
Speaker 2: Just supposed to be working on that. That's all because
Speaker 2: of you. You're supposed to be my agent who's supposed
Speaker 2: to reach out and get me a speaking role in
Speaker 2: a movie.
Speaker 3: You.
Speaker 2: I guess part of those odds is that you have
Speaker 2: me as an agent, So I think that's it. Maybe
Speaker 2: if I hired a better agent, maybe i'd have a
Speaker 2: better chance.
Speaker 1: A five nine two two two eight seven. We'd like
Speaker 1: to hear from you this morning. Shannon mentioned North Carolina.
Speaker 1: They're in action tonight. We've got some first four games
Speaker 1: to us that we'll break down a little bit. We'll
Speaker 1: tell you who's in that matchup and much more on
Speaker 1: the way. It's a Tuesday edition of the KSR pre Show,
Speaker 1: and we'll.
Speaker 2: Be right back. Welcome back. It is the CaSR Pre Show.
Speaker 1: Shannon the Dude's company vehicles running on empty, trying to
Speaker 1: get back from a remote.
Speaker 2: No, I won't fill up. We've got to learn their lesson.
Speaker 2: They gotta get I've been asking for this gas card
Speaker 2: to work for months and every week putting my own money,
Speaker 2: and I said, enough's enough. I'm gonna drive this thing
Speaker 2: back and it's gonna be on empty when the next
Speaker 2: person gets in it, or I'm gonna run out of
Speaker 2: gas right here. And I'm fine with either. Oh, I
Speaker 2: love it. At some point or another, I get to
Speaker 2: the breaking point of frustration. I'm like, you know what,
Speaker 2: that's fine.
Speaker 1: Oh, one of these days, so you won't run out
Speaker 1: of gas, you'll run out of charge, shan in. The
Speaker 1: charging station won't be close enough at all the electric
Speaker 1: vehicles that'll be around. Maybe not anytime soon, but probably
Speaker 1: one of these days in the future.
Speaker 2: I'm sure.
Speaker 1: One person said twenty years ago, I almost got fired
Speaker 1: for leaving work in the middle of the day to
Speaker 1: watch Kentucky in March Madness.
Speaker 2: It was a Saturday game.
Speaker 1: I was already working overtime, but they still got mad
Speaker 1: that I wasn't one hundred percent focused on production. He
Speaker 1: was living in Dallas, Texas at the time. Shannon, Probably
Speaker 1: that was part of your issue, is because people don't
Speaker 1: care about college basketball anywhere like they do in Kentucky. Yeah,
Speaker 1: but I think the problem was you just tried to leave,
Speaker 1: right You got to try to sneak it, maybe watch
Speaker 1: it on your phone or a tablet.
Speaker 2: It sounded like he just wanted to go to the
Speaker 2: bar or all of a sudden, you know, I'm sick,
Speaker 2: you know, I'm coming down with coming down with the flu.
Speaker 2: I think I got to get out of here. I
Speaker 2: don't want to get everybody else sick. Then all of
Speaker 2: a sudden, you look like you're just watching out for
Speaker 2: your co workers instead of trying to sneak off to
Speaker 2: watch a ballgame.
Speaker 1: Speaking of something sick is that we will have to
Speaker 1: watch North Carolina in the NCAA Tournament. They are one
Speaker 1: of the first four games today. They take on San
Speaker 1: Diego State in the matchup of two eleven seeds, while
Speaker 1: the game before it is Saint Francis versus Alabama State.
Speaker 1: The winner of that game I believe, Shannon, is it
Speaker 1: Auburn or is it Auduke?
Speaker 2: Auburn okay?
Speaker 1: And then UNC San Diego State, I believe the winner
Speaker 1: will take on Ole miss s Shannon, are you excited
Speaker 1: to get the attorney? I guess somewhat underway with the fourth?
Speaker 2: First four? Yeah, yeah, I like the first four. It's fine,
Speaker 2: you know, it's I don't care who's playing at this point.
Speaker 2: I just love March Madness, and it's just all the
Speaker 2: games are so exciting, even these playing games. So I
Speaker 2: will be definitely watching the games tonight, even though North
Speaker 2: Carolina is, as we pointed out, the least deserving team
Speaker 2: in the tournament. They're a four and a half point favorite.
Speaker 2: By the way, in case you're on DraftKings with San
Speaker 2: Diego State, now you can bet that game. Let's go
Speaker 2: ahead and pick the games tonight. North Carolina, san Diego State.
Speaker 2: Who do you get?
Speaker 1: Give me san Diego State. I'm tired of this talk
Speaker 1: of North Carolina. They're ad did all this work on
Speaker 1: the selection committee For them to lose on the first
Speaker 1: night that we.
Speaker 2: Watched games, wouldn't that be great? I mean, that's too
Speaker 2: I'm pulling for San Diego State. I'm going to be
Speaker 2: watching that game just to pull for San Diego State,
Speaker 2: and I'm gonna go ahead and pick them and say
Speaker 2: that they are going to win the game tonight and
Speaker 2: get North Carolina out and we can we can just
Speaker 2: laugh at North Carolina for even being in the tournament
Speaker 2: to begin with. Then the first game is Saint Francis
Speaker 2: Pennsylvania PA versus Alabama State. Alabama State's a four and
Speaker 2: a half point favored in that game.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I'm gonna go Alabama State just for the sole
Speaker 1: fact that Saint Francis doesn't have a winning record. I
Speaker 1: believe they're sixteen and seventeen on the year, and so
Speaker 1: I think for that for that reason, Channon will go
Speaker 1: Alabama State in this game at Dayton.
Speaker 2: But for that very reason that you gave out to
Speaker 2: this what I'm gonna pick Saint Francis. They obviously had
Speaker 2: to go on a run, they had to win their
Speaker 2: tournament to get in. So I think that they are
Speaker 2: They're hot right now. I'm gonna pick Saint Francis to
Speaker 2: win and play Auburn in the next round of the tournament.

Speaker 1: It seems pretty silly that a current athletic director would
Speaker 1: be on the selection committee for the NCAA tournament. Don't
Speaker 1: give me the whole Oh he steps out of the
Speaker 1: room when they talk about his team.
Speaker 2: Don't believe it. I mean he may he may do that,
Speaker 2: but don't don't act like they don't have conversations before
Speaker 2: and after.
Speaker 1: I also like to think he's just like glaring through
Speaker 1: the sea through part of the window and the door,
Speaker 1: and he's.
Speaker 2: Just watching your dogs. When you let him out to
Speaker 2: pee in the backyard and it's cold outside, they're like,
Speaker 2: all right, I'm done, let me in, like banging on
Speaker 2: the glass trying to get back in.
Speaker 1: That's exactly how I see Bubba Cunningham with the NCAA
Speaker 1: selection committee. But that was one of the points that
Speaker 1: the West Virginia governor was making yesterday as he called
Speaker 1: for an investigation over West Virginia's tourney.
Speaker 2: So he's going to sue the NCAA.
Speaker 1: Who he called the National Corrupt Athletic Association. I like
Speaker 1: it now, I like the acronym. I will give him that.
Speaker 1: But Shannon, is is it just like? What are we
Speaker 1: doing here?
Speaker 2: Is there anything what we're doing? What we're doing is
Speaker 2: wasting time and money with this threatening illegal action. I mean,
Speaker 2: they're not going to shut down the tournament West Virginia,
Speaker 2: Governor because your team didn't make it. Does West Virginia
Speaker 2: belong in instead of North Carolina? Absolutely they do, But
Speaker 2: it is what it is. At this point, they're not
Speaker 2: going to stop it. If anything, this governor will probably
Speaker 2: get a few extra votes at the next election. That's
Speaker 2: all this is. I think that's probably what he's doing.
Speaker 1: He stood up for us during our darkest time. Mountaineers
Speaker 1: didn't make the turn.
Speaker 2: Didn't Desanta's in Florida or some politician make a big
Speaker 2: deal about it when Florida State didn't make the football playoffs?
Speaker 2: I mean, nothing ever came with that, So I think
Speaker 2: I think you're right there was something. It's just a
Speaker 2: it's a political move, is all. It is, some grand standing.
Speaker 1: Maybe I just feel bad for the players. I mean,
Speaker 1: now it kind of becomes a joke, right and go.
Speaker 2: Out and whin the n West Virginia prove that you
Speaker 2: belong there.
Speaker 1: Well, let's talk about the nit. We'll get to the
Speaker 1: phones in just a second. The NIT is in under
Speaker 1: some drama right now because they rescinded an invite to
Speaker 1: a team that is South Alabama. I don't know if
Speaker 1: you read this, but you see, Riverside had to decline
Speaker 1: their invitation to the NIT because of previous commitments to
Speaker 1: the CBI. So the NIT went to South Alabama and said, hey,
Speaker 1: you're in. The coaches told the players and the team,
Speaker 1: and then one hour later, Riverside informed the NIT they
Speaker 1: were able to get out of their commitment and accept
Speaker 1: the NIT bid. The NIT then had to call South
Speaker 1: Alabama and said that they are out.
Speaker 2: Shannon, how it's like when you're It's like when you
Speaker 2: have a wedding list and you've got a certain amount
Speaker 2: of people who can come, and you got to make
Speaker 2: a cut somewhere. You invite a team, then you go, oops,
Speaker 2: we forgot aunt. Sally over here has got to make
Speaker 2: it to make it on the list too, so you're out.
Speaker 2: I kind of feel bad for him, though, I feel
Speaker 2: bad for the players.
Speaker 1: I mean, imagine you're a senior, you think your season's over,
Speaker 1: you get a late invite to a big postseason tournament
Speaker 1: like the n I T and then it's rescinded. Because
Speaker 1: UC Riverside was able to get out of a previous
Speaker 1: commitment that seems foul.
Speaker 2: Shannon, Yeah, we should have like a playing game, like
Speaker 2: let's see who roll between the two? Yeah, let's see
Speaker 2: who really wants to be in this n I T.
Speaker 2: We got playing games for everything else, while I have
Speaker 2: a playing game for the n I T. We let
Speaker 2: them battle it out.
Speaker 1: I mean, I think for the most part the n
Speaker 1: I T is is lost its stature, but just poor
Speaker 1: form by them to rescind an invite.
Speaker 2: So much of the n I T is who really
Speaker 2: wants to be there? Like a lot of times, you
Speaker 2: don't necessarily see the most talented team win the n
Speaker 2: I T. I mean, look at Kentucky and Robert Morris, right,
Speaker 2: you think if Kentucky was really play all out that
Speaker 2: they would lose the Robert I don't think so. I mean,
Speaker 2: but then again, they lost to Saint Peter's Oakland in
Speaker 2: other years, so maybe maybe not. But point being though,
Speaker 2: the n I T I think, more so than anything,
Speaker 2: is about who really wants to be there and who's
Speaker 2: taking it seriously and wants to win a championship.
Speaker 1: Oh well, one team that doesn't want to be there,
Speaker 1: as South Carolina, they declined an invite to the NIT.
Speaker 1: I think that shows you that maybe going into the
Speaker 1: portal and getting your players for next year may be
Speaker 1: more important than meaningless postseason games like the n IT.
Speaker 2: All right, we'll take a break. We've got some people
Speaker 2: on the line.
Speaker 1: We'll get to your calls next eight five nine two
Speaker 1: a H two two A seven and much more on
Speaker 1: the way here on the ks Apprecia, welcome back. I
Speaker 1: love Alenis morris Set. I was gonna say I know
Speaker 1: that voice.
Speaker 2: I couldn't put it. Elenis Morrisset and Fiona Apple might
Speaker 2: be my two favorite female voices. I love both of them.
Speaker 2: I think I saw Alanis Morris Set with you Live Shit,
Speaker 2: Bourbon and Beyond a couple of years ago.
Speaker 1: Right, that's right, that was the one fiance really wanted
Speaker 1: to see. And I met you out there and and
Speaker 1: then you went sea and then you went into like
Speaker 1: the pit like you kind of like you're like, did
Speaker 1: I see you later?
Speaker 3: Wait?
Speaker 2: Wait, I don't remember. Did I go into the pit
Speaker 2: for Alanis Moris.
Speaker 1: I think it was the show maybe that was coming
Speaker 1: up after Alanis Morrissett. But you you went into the
Speaker 1: crowd and like disappeared, like uh, like I would never
Speaker 1: see you again.
Speaker 2: No, I wonder who was next. I can't remember it
Speaker 2: was it like Duran Duran or something. I don't think
Speaker 2: to go back and look at the date and see
Speaker 2: you go into the pit for Duran Duran. I don't
Speaker 2: think it's really a pit. That's like going into the
Speaker 2: pit for the beach boys or something like. Nobody's gonna
Speaker 2: be washing it for that. A lot of pushing in
Speaker 2: cheven when the beach boys go up there. No, it's
Speaker 2: more like a lot of like cramped up backs in
Speaker 2: the pit. Has Alice Blue Gown ever gotten a mosh
Speaker 2: pit going on? No? No, no, we've We've had some
Speaker 2: good crowds, but uh not any not any mosh pits.
Speaker 1: You can join us on the phone or via the
Speaker 1: text line. The text line is five oh two two
Speaker 1: six five six six five six, where many remind us
Speaker 1: that Mitch Barnhardt not too many years ago was on
Speaker 1: the selection community and possibly uh of it. But that
Speaker 1: doesn't make it right, Shannah right, I mean, that still
Speaker 1: doesn't excuse why current athletic directors would be.
Speaker 2: On the selection. I don't want any athletic directors being
Speaker 2: a part of the committee, and I understand it. I've
Speaker 2: just looked it up here. Twelve member basketball selection committee.
Speaker 2: It's made up of ads and conference commissioners. I'd be
Speaker 2: fine if it was just all conference commissioners. Point being,
Speaker 2: I don't want anybody with a financial incentive for a
Speaker 2: team to get in to be a part of the committee. Now.
Speaker 2: I don't know like how conference commissioners get paid. I
Speaker 2: don't know if they get bonuses for more teams making
Speaker 2: the tournament. If so, that shouldn't be a thing. But
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, like, I don't want anybody that has
Speaker 2: an incentive financially to put a team in that doesn't
Speaker 2: belong in a part of the committee. Yeah to me.
Speaker 1: And Bubba made one hundred grand right in his contract
Speaker 1: because North Carolina made the tournament. And how do you
Speaker 1: feel as a team that doesn't have somebody on that committee?
Speaker 3: Right?
Speaker 1: Like right, you can't help but feel slighted. And if
Speaker 1: you're a team like West Virginia and you're like, hey,
Speaker 1: we had the resume to get in, why is it
Speaker 1: that North Carolina is in with a one to twelve
Speaker 1: on record. I've never even heard that bad of a
Speaker 1: record getting in, Shannon, but you know, expect more of
Speaker 1: that if you see the NCAA tournament expand you know
Speaker 1: what I mean, you want more bad teams like North
Speaker 1: Carolina in the tournament, We'll just make more teams available
Speaker 1: to make that.
Speaker 2: If you just took the name North Carolina off of
Speaker 2: the team, yeah, blond resume, you said this team is
Speaker 2: one and twelve versus quad one teams, I would say
Speaker 2: the only way they made it this must be some
Speaker 2: small school that played a really strong schedule that won
Speaker 2: their conference tournament, right right, That's that's the way I
Speaker 2: would say that. Okay, if I didn't know it was
Speaker 2: North Carolina, it must have been a small team that
Speaker 2: got on a run, won their conference tournament and they
Speaker 2: were an automatic bit, not an at large bid.
Speaker 1: And then if you put North Carolina and you probably
Speaker 1: have some respect for the conference as a whole, but
Speaker 1: then you don't show that with Louisville making the OECC.
Speaker 2: Was garbage outside of Duke Louisville and clips and the
Speaker 2: ACC was garbage. It was Yeah, I mean, it is
Speaker 2: what it is at this point. But I just hope
Speaker 2: North Carolina gets their buck kick tonight so we can
Speaker 2: all do too. I think we all do.
Speaker 1: Go San Diego State it'll be fun watching that one tonight.
Speaker 1: Let's get to the phones though. We've got some people
Speaker 1: on the line. I believe Scott is our first caller
Speaker 1: this morning. Good morning, Scott, How.
Speaker 3: Good boy, guys, thy quick question? If Cali Perry and
Speaker 3: Patino meet in the game, who's the crowd go pull for?
Speaker 2: Well, probably Ricky P. I mean it being in Providence.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, that's right. Yeah, the games in Providence, I
Speaker 2: would say probably Saint John's would have more fans than Arkansas,
Speaker 2: So just regionally, yeah, probably.
Speaker 3: What about the Kentucky fans who thinks they're going to
Speaker 3: pull forward?
Speaker 2: Oh? I think it's Rick Patino. I mean, there may
Speaker 2: be a few fans that still hate Rick from his
Speaker 2: time at Louisville, But I think that the majority of
Speaker 2: Kentucky fans want to see Cali Perry lose that game,
Speaker 2: especially this year, right, I mean with Ricky P coming
Speaker 2: back into our hearts. Yeah. Yeah, you're one of them, Scott,
Speaker 2: you'd rather see Patino win.
Speaker 3: I'm one of them. I hope albers a tournament game
Speaker 3: his career.
Speaker 2: Well, hold on, now, he's got to win a tournament
Speaker 2: game for it to be Saint John's in Arkansas.
Speaker 3: I think, but you know, if it comes to where
Speaker 3: uh Patina don't have to play, I'm fine with that.
Speaker 3: I hope you know Caliperi, he does great for Kentucky
Speaker 3: why I was there, but the way he left us,
Speaker 3: you know, it's put a bad pace on mass So
Speaker 3: I hope you don't succeed at another school. And uh,
Speaker 3: I just like what he let us.
Speaker 2: Thanks for the college guy, Thank you. You know, here's the
Speaker 2: crazy thing, Billy. I mean, let's go back to a
Speaker 2: year ago. If you'd have told me a year ago
Speaker 2: our fan base would hate John Caliperi and love Rick
Speaker 2: Battino again, I would say you're out of your mind.
Speaker 2: But yet here we are March eighteenth, twenty twenty five,
Speaker 2: and now we're pulling for Rick again, and we all
Speaker 2: hate John Calipari.
Speaker 1: Well, not only just Kentucky fans. I feel like Ricky
Speaker 1: has become the darling of college basketball.
Speaker 2: Yes, man, I mean the guy was on Jimmy Fallon.
Speaker 2: You have the team singing Jimmy fallon their New York's team.
Speaker 2: I love it for Rick I really do. I mean,
Speaker 2: he seems to be really happy. He's a New York guy.
Speaker 2: He seems to fit in perfectly with Saint John's.
Speaker 1: I mean he coached at Iona just for the love
Speaker 1: of the game, Shannon. I mean he went to Greece,
Speaker 1: to Greece to do this all over. The question is
Speaker 1: how many Kentucky fans show up to the Lexington Regional
Speaker 1: when Louisville plays Auburn possibly or you know, uh, there's
Speaker 1: gonna there's a couple of gig good games in Lexington.
Speaker 1: There's no doubt even some Tennessee Valls fans coming down.
Speaker 2: So who knows. Let's take another call, Shann, who's up
Speaker 2: next here? All right? L D is up next?
Speaker 3: Hey, l D?
Speaker 4: Shannon, what's going on?
Speaker 2: What's up? Okay?
Speaker 4: I was just gonna tell you all the last basketball
Speaker 4: game I was at was in high school because I
Speaker 4: was in negotiations with the cheerleaders.
Speaker 3: But did you ever get that jar pick was open?
Speaker 2: Did? Yes? I did? Oh, I took it.
Speaker 4: I wanted to tell you that the fishing calendar, the
Speaker 4: old Farmer's Dominac, is a filling barometer. That's when the
Speaker 4: fishing is the base.
Speaker 2: You believe that fishing calendar, Yeah, it's it's a filling barometer.
Speaker 4: That's why they can tell it's anytime the barometers filling,
Speaker 4: it's it's a better face. But I just wanted to
Speaker 4: cal and say, hey, yell and legs, Joe, thank you.
Speaker 2: Jar pickles. I forgot to update you.
Speaker 1: So you took it to the wrestlers. They got it done,
Speaker 1: your big biceps. The commentator, it's funny that.
Speaker 2: The commentator did it. Come on, come on that bad look.
Speaker 2: I've been loosening up that jar of pickles for two
Speaker 2: weeks for a good thing. He didn't bring it to
Speaker 2: the remote. Yeah, what was funny was I was gonna
Speaker 2: do a bit out of it, and you know, show
Speaker 2: that this jar pickles could be opened. The first guy
Speaker 2: opening popped it right open. He was the announcer and
Speaker 2: the first guy to do it. But when he did it,
Speaker 2: he had it turned sideways, which is maybe the technique
Speaker 2: I didn't try. You know, I just had it flat
Speaker 2: on the surface and was turning. He was like turning
Speaker 2: the jar sideways and really cranking on it that way.
Speaker 2: But when he did it, some of the pickle juice
Speaker 2: fell onto the floor, and I don't know that he
Speaker 2: cleaned it up too good, because like an hour later
Speaker 2: I hear the wrestlers walking backstage, going, why does it
Speaker 2: smell like two different kinds of pickles back here? And
Speaker 2: I'm just laughing under my breath, going, he doesn't have
Speaker 2: a clue what we just did earlier.
Speaker 1: So wow, some some of that juice must have got
Speaker 1: on the wrestlers.
Speaker 2: Who was it the Undertaker who was definitely afraid of pickles?
Speaker 2: You never heard that? Have I told that before? No?
Speaker 2: The Undertaker? The wrestler. I don't know how you could
Speaker 2: be afraid of a pickle, but you can look this up.
Speaker 2: The Undertaker is you think like a guy that size
Speaker 2: isn't afraid of anything. Apparently he's afraid of pickles. So
Speaker 2: like as a as a prank, some of the wrestlers,
Speaker 2: I guess we're bold enough to prank. The Undertaker would
Speaker 2: take like a pickle and put it in his gym bag. Okay,
Speaker 2: so what he was in a match and then he'd
Speaker 2: come back and there'd be a pickle in there.
Speaker 1: Hold on, hold on, no, Now, I understand not liking
Speaker 1: the taste of pickles, but how can you be scared
Speaker 1: of a pickle? He's got a pickle phobia, like it's
Speaker 1: a snake or something like that. You see it and you, yeah,
Speaker 1: I don't know about that.
Speaker 2: Okay, well look at you look it up during the
Speaker 2: break and you tell me what you find.
Speaker 1: I mean, there's food phobias, but that's when you actually
Speaker 1: put the food in your mouth. What would you would
Speaker 1: you be afraid of a pickle for? Especially if you're
Speaker 1: a big wrestler too.
Speaker 2: But here's the first thing that here's why the Undertaker
Speaker 2: is afraid of cucumbers.
Speaker 1: See that sounds like a BuzzFeed headline or one of
Speaker 1: those AI generated get you to click on the likes.
Speaker 2: Is it denial about being afraid of cucumbers? But he
Speaker 2: admits that they sometimes make the hair on his skin
Speaker 2: stand up, goose.
Speaker 1: Bump, the cucumber looking at me sideways? What the heck?
Speaker 2: Yeah, people have more phobias, man, I don't know. I
Speaker 2: don't know. Do you have any kind of phobias. I
Speaker 2: have a fear of heights. I don't know if that's
Speaker 2: like a weird phobia. I think that's pretty common. But
Speaker 2: I'm not like afraid of a food. Yeah, nothing comes
Speaker 2: to mind that weird.
Speaker 1: I mean some basic stuff, like you know, I don't
Speaker 1: want to see a snake in my crawl space. Or
Speaker 1: anything like that, Shannon. But no phobia is like that.
Speaker 1: That's just odd. But I've never you know, more people
Speaker 1: have asked me about your pickle jar and me losing
Speaker 1: my keys than any sports topic we've ever talked about
Speaker 1: on this show.
Speaker 2: I'm just saying, you think that the breaking down the
Speaker 2: games and the brackets matter. No, people just want to
Speaker 2: talk about pickles. He says he's not afraid of them,
Speaker 2: but will simply walk out of a room that has
Speaker 2: cucumbers in it. Okay, so he just doesn't put it
Speaker 2: up with it like he's just no non He can't
Speaker 2: look at a cucumber, freaks them out.
Speaker 1: Let's talk about pickles and peanuts. Peanut is next on
Speaker 1: the line. What's up, Peanut?
Speaker 6: How was it going?
Speaker 3: Guys? Good?
Speaker 2: Anybody?
Speaker 3: Are you good?
Speaker 4: Are you?
Speaker 6: I was gonna tell you, hey, do you think do
Speaker 6: you think the Undertaker is good at pickleball?
Speaker 2: Probably not? Probably not. I think.
Speaker 6: Actually what I called for was in twenty twelve, I
Speaker 6: worked at Chili's and Barkstown a dishwashers, and we played
Speaker 6: of course, we played Lowan the five four. I went
Speaker 6: to work that day, but right before the game, I
Speaker 6: put my boots up on the Saints and I put
Speaker 6: a posted note on it. It said go Cats, and
Speaker 6: I left. I quit the job.
Speaker 2: Oh really? So oh wow? So Kentucky was playing in
Speaker 2: the Final Four. You said, enough is enough. I'm out
Speaker 2: of here. I'm not going to stay back here and
Speaker 2: wash dishes. We got a Kentucky game to watch.
Speaker 6: Yeah, it was against Louisville, and I had already missed
Speaker 6: the Kentucky Indiana game that year where they hit that shot. Yeah,
Speaker 6: I guess. So I was like, I'm not missing I.
Speaker 2: Don't blame you, I guess somebody else. It's an important job.
Speaker 2: You don't want to have clean dishes. But I think
Speaker 2: I agree with you. It's definitely more important to watch
Speaker 2: the Final Four than clean some dishes. Thanks for the call, Peanut,
Speaker 2: Thank you, Peanut.
Speaker 1: Wow the passion of this fan base shannon to quit
Speaker 1: their job as a Chili's dishwasher to watch the Cats.
Speaker 2: I mean it depends on I guess how committed you
Speaker 2: are to your job, right, Like, if you had a really,
Speaker 2: really good job, you probably wouldn't quit it. But you know,
Speaker 2: I think if you lose your job as a dishwasher
Speaker 2: at Chili's, they need dishwashers over it Outback and Texas
Speaker 2: Roadhouse and every other place. Chi Cheese is going to
Speaker 2: need some dishwashers soon too. I might volunteer there just
Speaker 2: to be able to eat their food.
Speaker 1: Well, this is a perfect segue because they also need
Speaker 1: dishwashers at waffle House. Shannon, and I want to give
Speaker 1: a tip of the cap to ksr's own Jacob Politick.
Speaker 1: He does a lot of great stuff for KSR. Plus.
Speaker 1: Just the other night he interviewed Troy head coach sk
Speaker 1: Cross and he explained to Jacob while he why he
Speaker 1: only recruits players that like waffle House. Shannon, let me,
Speaker 1: let's hear some of that.
Speaker 7: Ore a town of fifteen thousand when school's not in town,
Speaker 7: so you can imagine you got one waffle house per
Speaker 7: five thousand people, so probably most per capita anywhere in
Speaker 7: the country. But started off the first two recruits I
Speaker 7: brought on campus, We're driving down the main street. I
Speaker 7: point out waffle House, ask him if they want to
Speaker 7: eat there for breakfast, and they were like, waffle house.
Speaker 7: You know, hell no, I don't want to go to
Speaker 7: waffle House. I'm like, Okay, my bad. You know, we'll
Speaker 7: trying to eat somewhere else. Long story short, we signed
Speaker 7: neither one of those guys. Then we brought a guy
Speaker 7: named Nick Stampley, who's an okge R kind of guy.
Speaker 7: He was our third recruit to visit. We're driving by,
Speaker 7: we don't even say anything about waffle house.
Speaker 3: He sees.
Speaker 7: He's like, oh, coach, y'all got a waffle house?
Speaker 3: Here? Can we go there tomorrow?
Speaker 7: He was our first signee. He was one of the
Speaker 7: toughest guys we've ever coached, and from that point forward
Speaker 7: we just kind of offhand ask them do you like
Speaker 7: waffle House? The answer is yes, it's like we sign them.
Speaker 7: If it's no, we never get them. So I told
Speaker 7: my staff, I was like, hey, y'all can save a
Speaker 7: lot of time and money first phone conversation in passing,
Speaker 7: ask them do they like waffle house or not?
Speaker 2: So there you go.
Speaker 1: There's Kentucky's opponent, Troy head coach Scott Cross.
Speaker 2: Do you like his philosophy on recruits in waffle Look,
Speaker 2: if you could shoot and you can play defense, I
Speaker 2: wouldn't care what you eat. I think that's I mean,
Speaker 2: it's funny, but it's also ridiculous. I don't think that
Speaker 2: that necessarily means you're a good player because you like
Speaker 2: or don't like waffle House. But I'm a fan of
Speaker 2: waffle House.
Speaker 3: You know.
Speaker 2: It's a former Kentucky Sports Radio Food Bracket winner, myram Metcalf,
Speaker 2: who was on yesterday with this huge fan of waffle House.
Speaker 2: I don't know if they got any waffle houses in Milwaukee,
Speaker 2: but if they do, I might try to hit one
Speaker 2: for breakfast.
Speaker 1: Now, I'm a wild Eggs guy, the official breakfast of
Speaker 1: Kentucky Sports Radio.
Speaker 2: So now you want to Now you're learning from me,
Speaker 2: I'll teach you, mister me I go, But you know,
Speaker 2: do you?
Speaker 1: Is it a character red flag if someone were to
Speaker 1: say they don't like waffle House, and I think to
Speaker 1: a degree, there would be. But Shannon, if you want
Speaker 1: to draw the line, I don't care what my players eat,
Speaker 1: then yeah that's fine.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if you're a good player, I don't care
Speaker 2: where you eat. But I'm like, I'm a fan of
Speaker 2: waffle House saying I get the same thing every time
Speaker 2: I go in. I already know my order. I don't need
Speaker 2: to look at them minute. First of all, gonna start
Speaker 2: off with an nice water because usually you know it
Speaker 2: comes after a night of heavy drinking, so you gotta.
Speaker 1: Okay, so you're hung over, Yeah, water's good, trying to
Speaker 1: rebound here, you gotta rehydrate.
Speaker 2: And then I'm going with the bacon, egg and cheese
Speaker 2: on Texas toast, Give me a side of hash browns,
Speaker 2: extra pickles, and give me some of that hot sauce
Speaker 2: over here, because I dumped the hot sauce on the plate.
Speaker 2: Dip the bacon, egg and cheese sandwich and the hot sauce,
Speaker 2: and then the pickles cool down the hotness, so you
Speaker 2: follow it up with a pickle.
Speaker 1: A little acidity there at the end. We've had a
Speaker 1: lot of pickle talk today. By the way, I'm not
Speaker 1: afraid of pickles anymore. We'll have to go to the
Speaker 1: Pickle Fest and no, no, that was highly overrated.
Speaker 2: Take you the legacy pickle beer was off. The best
Speaker 2: thing about Pickle Fest was Tyley Texas was in attendance.
Speaker 2: And other than that, it was it was terrible.
Speaker 1: Give me the All Star special eggs sunnyside up or
Speaker 1: scrambled chin and it just kind of depends on what's
Speaker 1: going on. And then I'm going coke for the drink.
Speaker 1: Don't drink a lot of soda, but I like coke
Speaker 1: with breakfast.
Speaker 2: I don't know what it is. Anything where I can
Speaker 2: go there and I can watch them make it right
Speaker 2: in front of me.
Speaker 1: I like that place and a fight possibly busting out
Speaker 1: next to you. I mean, there's your entertainment right there.
Speaker 1: Don't even have to look.
Speaker 2: Yeah, great odds depending on what time of day you go.
Speaker 2: Although you know it's likely to happen at a waffle
Speaker 2: house a fight breakout more so than any other restaurant.
Speaker 2: But if you go like after midnight, like I'm gonna say,
Speaker 2: between the hours of like midnight and four am, there's
Speaker 2: a good chance, like it's probably an eighty percent chance
Speaker 2: there's gonna be a fight that breaks out. Oh yeah,
Speaker 2: no doubt.
Speaker 1: But a test of character if you're looking to go
Speaker 1: to the University of Troy and their basketball. Yeah, I
Speaker 1: get your break A five nine, two, two eight seven.
Speaker 1: Let's take that break uh, and coming up next, we'll
Speaker 1: take a couple of calls and we'll hand it off
Speaker 1: to KSR here on the show. Before the show, it's
Speaker 1: the Kiss, Our appreciow, welcome back. It's our final segment,
Speaker 1: and we've just got a couple of minutes after going
Speaker 1: along in that last segment. So Shannon, let's try to
Speaker 1: hit a call before.
Speaker 2: We get out of here. All right, let's go to
Speaker 2: free Bird. Hey, what's up? Free Bird?
Speaker 3: What's up?
Speaker 8: Pre show? Approve?
Speaker 2: What's up? Man?
Speaker 8: A little story and then a question. Uh, nineteen eighty two,
Speaker 8: nineteen eighty three is in seven to eighth grade and
Speaker 8: you're talking about bringing in the TVs for basketball. Well,
Speaker 8: my math teacher, mister Hudson, was a Dodgers saying, and
Speaker 8: of course we did it for basketball, but when baseball
Speaker 8: season was going on, get the Dodgers or the Reds
Speaker 8: were on, or they were playing each other, and go, hey, man,
Speaker 8: detail them, get your work done. TV is going on,
Speaker 8: and we w a lot of baseball in those two
Speaker 8: years in the classroom. And my question is two coaches,
Speaker 8: who do you think more is on top of his
Speaker 8: game right now? Latino or Tom Izzo. The only reason
Speaker 8: I'm asking about is though I've always been.
Speaker 6: A big hisz Old fan.
Speaker 8: Yeah, if y'all want to put another one in fel frees,
Speaker 8: who's on top of their game right now?
Speaker 2: Well, first of all, you'll yep, thanks for the coffee,
Speaker 2: versus mister Hudson would be happy to know that the
Speaker 2: Dodgers won a game in Tokyo earlier this morning. Did
Speaker 2: you see that there's already baseball going on? The Dodgers
