Speaker 1: He is here ready to go. Good morning, Shannon.
Speaker 2: What's up?
Speaker 3: I can go ahead and point out your weaknesses, and
Speaker 3: that is you already screwed up where I'm at.
Speaker 2: I'm not in Lexington. I'm in Louisville, Billy. I said
Speaker 2: I was in Lexington, and might not say you were in.
Speaker 3: LUI said that I am in Lexington. I believe that's
Speaker 3: what you said.
Speaker 2: Anyway.
Speaker 3: Maybe my weakness is I don't listen to you, but
Speaker 3: I would say that's a strength. Actually, sometimes it's better
Speaker 3: not to listen to your co host, especially when he's
Speaker 3: Billy our sports. How you doing, Buddy, I'm good, I'm good.
Speaker 3: Guntor Mike's landing sirt On We're going there later this year.
Speaker 2: Oh hell yeah yeah.
Speaker 1: I'm excited for Soul for Greek as much as anybody.
Speaker 1: I love Mike's landing. Last year we did the Newlyweds
Speaker 1: game there. If you remember that, Shannon, in which I won,
Speaker 1: you did you know? Not a weakness of mine knowing
Speaker 1: my co host, but it may be of yours.
Speaker 2: Well, don't to You's right, that's why I don't you
Speaker 2: don't win Newlywed game.
Speaker 1: Well, uh, maybe you'll listen today and thank you for listening.
Speaker 1: If you are out there listening on the radio dial
Speaker 1: or on the iHeartRadio app eight five nine two eight
Speaker 1: h two two eight seven if you'd like to join us. Uh, Channon,
Speaker 1: do you ever do you ever think about your brain
Speaker 1: just you know, not working and you saying something stupid
Speaker 1: on the air once or twice because I have that fear.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, I mean when you're on the air as
Speaker 3: much as I am, it's almost impossible for it not
Speaker 3: to happen.
Speaker 1: Well, like literally the beginning where I just said you
Speaker 1: were in Lexington like that didn't register in my mind.
Speaker 1: And that's just such a fear of mine that I'm
Speaker 1: gonna black out and say something that I don't remember,
Speaker 1: and it's gonna get me canceled.
Speaker 2: Sull.
Speaker 3: I mean, like, you know, you doing a live show,
Speaker 3: would hope to have a good producer who would take
Speaker 3: care of you and hit the dump button if that
Speaker 3: were to happen, you.
Speaker 2: Know, but what if the producer doesn't listen to what
Speaker 2: you're saying? It's true?
Speaker 3: What if the producer is also the host, and you know,
Speaker 3: is doing three different things and answering a phone call
Speaker 3: and doesn't hear you say that. You know, I would
Speaker 3: think that you would, you know, maybe jump in there
Speaker 3: and save yourself.
Speaker 2: But yeah, I mean, that's always a fear.
Speaker 3: Man. That's that's live radio. Everybody thinks they're doing live
Speaker 3: radio when they're doing a podcast. That's not radio. All right, No,
Speaker 3: it's not even close. If you can go back and
Speaker 3: dust it up, you know, and like take all the
Speaker 3: blemishes out of it, then that's not live radio.
Speaker 2: The beauty of live radio.
Speaker 3: Anything could happen in live radio, and I think it
Speaker 3: makes you, I think it makes you better something live.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know about you, but I mean, there
Speaker 1: was just such a nervousness and a fear of the
Speaker 1: first year or so of doing it. But then you
Speaker 1: get comfortable and that red light comes on and it's
Speaker 1: just like talking with your friends. But then then some
Speaker 1: some times that brain just still stops working, Shannon. So
Speaker 1: I don't think you ever fully grow out of it,
Speaker 1: and I'm sure.
Speaker 2: You've had a moment. Well.
Speaker 3: The art is being comfortable without being too comfortable, because
Speaker 3: when you get too.
Speaker 2: Comfortable, that's when those things happen.
Speaker 1: We know, our guy Ryan Lemon, it's a little too
Speaker 1: comfortable every now and then and we'll have to use
Speaker 1: the dumb button on him. Speaking of our guy Ryan,
Speaker 1: how about him breaking his nose over the weekend but
Speaker 1: breathing better afterwards. Somehow it knocked his nose into the
Speaker 1: right place where he's breathing a little better, but face
Speaker 1: planning into the handle of his trash can as he
Speaker 1: was trying.
Speaker 2: To move it up under the curb over the way.
Speaker 3: I'm just trying to visualize how that even happens, because
Speaker 3: like my trash can comes up to, you know, like
Speaker 3: my stomach carrier maybe a little bit higher.
Speaker 2: Okay, So I'm just trying to visualize.
Speaker 3: Okay, I'm on the grass, I've got my trash can,
Speaker 3: and I'm pushing it towards the driveway, which has a
Speaker 3: little gap in between, and I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 3: out how it would be physically possible for me in
Speaker 3: that moment to break my nose on the handles way
Speaker 3: down here. I guess Ryan's a little bit shorter, so
Speaker 3: maybe it comes up higher on him, right, so maybe
Speaker 3: that checks out.
Speaker 2: But still, I don't know.
Speaker 3: I feel like that takes some true talent to break
Speaker 3: your nose on the side of a garbage can.
Speaker 2: I'm saying.
Speaker 1: I'm saying maybe it helps the sleep apnea. But our
Speaker 1: guy Ryan had a little bit of an eventful weekend,
Speaker 1: and not only that, I thought we might be getting
Speaker 1: rid of the Android phone. Finally, Shannon, he breaks his
Speaker 1: phone over the weekend. But yet he says he's not
Speaker 1: getting an iPhone upgrade, He's getting the Android. Yeah, and
Speaker 1: you know, we've had these issues for years. But after
Speaker 1: was Matt said on the air the other day that
Speaker 1: there's actually a security risk of group chats with an
Speaker 1: Android phone. With a bunch of iPhones, Shannon, maybe we
Speaker 1: do need to finally kick him out of the group.
Speaker 3: Cho Well, here's what I was hearing yesterday from Ryan.
Speaker 3: It sounds like to me that he spends more money
Speaker 3: on the insurance of his phone than the insurance of
Speaker 3: his own body. And if you're ensuring an android with
Speaker 3: more money than you are your own health, I think
Speaker 3: that's a problem right there to begin with. So, you know,
Speaker 3: we got to make sure that Ryan has his priority.
Speaker 2: Is in check. You've got to make sure that he
Speaker 2: is insured more than that stupid android phone.
Speaker 1: Yeah, he's much more important than protecting what's on the phone.
Speaker 1: But I relate with Ryan. I mean, how many times
Speaker 1: do you sign something after reading the fine print, Shannon?
Speaker 1: I mean the Apple terms and conditions, the you know,
Speaker 1: even like you know you should read your contract, Shannon,
Speaker 1: but there are times when you just go ahead and
Speaker 1: you sign.
Speaker 2: It, right, I mean, not a contract, a contract.
Speaker 1: I'll read a contract maybe a little different than maybe
Speaker 1: the the Apple app store.
Speaker 2: What you're agreeing to every time?
Speaker 3: Down the conditions, the terms and conditions. Everybody's just going
Speaker 3: You're just wiping down to the bottom so you can
Speaker 3: check the box. Right, nobody's reading all that stuff, And
Speaker 3: who knows. I mean, you have to sign it anyway
Speaker 3: to you know, get the phone, or to get whatever
Speaker 3: app on the phone that you want. So you're signing
Speaker 3: away a lot of your privacy. And I think you
Speaker 3: realize that anyway, if you're online, if you have any
Speaker 3: social media presence at all, or an email address, your
Speaker 3: information is already out there. That's why I don't understand
Speaker 3: why people freak out when the security breach. Oh my gosh,
Speaker 3: they have my information. Look, anybody could people find out
Speaker 3: where I live and send me foreign money on the internet. Okay,
Speaker 3: it's like there is no privacy. Privacy does not exist.
Speaker 3: Once you lou on the Yeah, once you go on
Speaker 3: the internet for the first time, your prophecy is gone.
Speaker 2: You know.
Speaker 1: You go on a website and you accept cookies to
Speaker 1: join the website, I'm sure that's tracking me somehow.
Speaker 3: She don't even know what that means too, That says cookies,
Speaker 3: What do you mean like chocolate? Yeah, I don't even
Speaker 3: know what you're talking about.
Speaker 1: So, yeah, that is something we'll look back on that
Speaker 1: maybe we signed away a little too easily. But speaking
Speaker 1: of fine print, I watched one of the first episodes
Speaker 1: of the new season of Black Mirror, Shannon, are you
Speaker 1: a Black Mirror fan?
Speaker 2: You know?
Speaker 3: I watched like one or two episodes, and I just
Speaker 3: I feel like that's one of those series that I
Speaker 3: should be into, but I just never really got into
Speaker 3: it very much.
Speaker 2: It's so good, it's so good.
Speaker 1: It's it's about the dystopian future and how technology can
Speaker 1: have these negative side effects and not reading the fine
Speaker 1: print went a long way in one of the new episodes.
Speaker 1: So I can't recommend it enough. It is a good
Speaker 1: show if you're looking for something on Netflix, but read
Speaker 1: the fine print, folks, even though I probably won't.
Speaker 2: Can I tell you what?
Speaker 3: I started watching the record at the recommendation of Ryan yesterday.
Speaker 3: Ryan's getting all kinds of talk in this first segment,
Speaker 3: I guess, so you know, he recommended the new pee
Speaker 3: Wee Herman documentary, and as someone who grew up watching
Speaker 3: Peewee's Playhouse as a kid, I was interested in it.
Speaker 3: And it's it's actually pretty good. It's a two part series.
Speaker 3: I don't know if you really call that a series.
Speaker 3: It's just a two part thing documentary, I guess, two
Speaker 3: part documentary, and like the first one is an hour
Speaker 3: and a half long, so I haven't gotten through that
Speaker 3: first one yet. It's alone, but it's interesting seeing the
Speaker 3: guy who was like type cast it as pee wee Herman. Right, Nobody,
Speaker 3: even a lot of people didn't even know his real
Speaker 3: name because he kind of played one character his entire
Speaker 3: career after that, and he was.
Speaker 2: Talking about an identity crisis.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean it shows like he was on like
Speaker 3: the Dating Game. Did you know that pee wee Herman
Speaker 3: is on the Dating Game? He actually did. I think
Speaker 3: he created the character pee Wee Herman by doing an
Speaker 3: improv stand up. He had to do like the each
Speaker 3: person in this improv group had to go up and
Speaker 3: perform like a comedy routine, but you had to create
Speaker 3: a character. And he created this character, pee Wee Herman,
Speaker 3: and it took off. It was such a big deal
Speaker 3: that then he ended up having his own kid show.
Speaker 2: Imagine that.
Speaker 1: I mean, it's a little different with Shannon the Dude, right,
Speaker 1: Shannon the Dude's not that much different on the radio
Speaker 1: than Shannon Griggs be in real life. But like when
Speaker 1: you create this completely different persona and it launches you
Speaker 1: into superstardom where you have to act like that character
Speaker 1: all the time. I mean, that has got to be
Speaker 1: just an insane way to go about life. You know,
Speaker 1: pe wee Herman's kind of like a fever dream for me.
Speaker 2: Shannon.
Speaker 1: I don't know if I could say I was super
Speaker 1: into it since I was born in ninety five, but
Speaker 1: like my dad showed me the movies, and I have
Speaker 1: these dreams of large Marge, like like eyeballs popping out
Speaker 1: of her head and like just kind of like these
Speaker 1: odd moments. It was such a weird show, but it
Speaker 1: did connect with a pretty big audience. So you're saying
Speaker 1: I should check that documentary.
Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, and it's genius because people didn't know is
Speaker 3: this a like is pee wee Herman? Like who this
Speaker 3: guy really is or not? And you couldn't tell. He
Speaker 3: blurred the line so well. It was kind of like
Speaker 3: an Andy Kaufman thing.
Speaker 2: You know. He would be into character all.
Speaker 3: The time, and even when we go out, he would
Speaker 3: go out in public and not be doing pee wee Herman.
Speaker 3: He would have to kind of be pee wee Herman
Speaker 3: because that's what everybody thought.
Speaker 2: He was who everybody thought that he actually was.
Speaker 3: In real life, and he played that character so well
Speaker 3: that people didn't know is that really him?
Speaker 2: Does he really talk like that? Does he really act
Speaker 2: like that all the time.
Speaker 3: It's kind of like, you know, like Rick Flair had
Speaker 3: to be Rick Flair all the time, mm hmm, you know,
Speaker 3: the million dollar man. He had that persona, so he
Speaker 3: had to live that lifestyle even when he wasn't on screen,
Speaker 3: so that the public would see him the same way
Speaker 3: they see them on TV.
Speaker 1: And that's got to be exhausting. And that's what I'm
Speaker 1: getting to like, how can you act like that?
Speaker 2: That charade?
Speaker 1: Now a little bit of a different lane here, there
Speaker 1: are some actors that are known as method actor shann
Speaker 1: where they just take everything way too seriously, and even
Speaker 1: when the cameras go off, they still act like the
Speaker 1: person they're portraying.
Speaker 2: Right.
Speaker 1: There's been some reports in this new upcoming movie about
Speaker 1: John Madden that is I think it's Nick Cage and
Speaker 1: Christian Bale are playing John Madden and Al Davis and
Speaker 1: their method acting this out, and the cast and crew
Speaker 1: apparently are just sick and tired of these guys because
Speaker 1: you know, they're they're acting like these characters, but then
Speaker 1: when the lights and camera goes off, there's still being
Speaker 1: assholes right there.
Speaker 2: Still being whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa whoa. But did you
Speaker 2: drop that shit?
Speaker 3: Yeah?
Speaker 1: I think you should probably see we were talking about it.
Speaker 2: Look at that we're talking about it, and then it
Speaker 2: happens on the first segment that button works. How does
Speaker 2: that have to dump you? What's morning radio?
Speaker 1: Shannon's It's got to do a little bit of a
Speaker 1: different vibe than most conversations. I can't believe we had
Speaker 1: I just had that while we were talking about it.
Speaker 2: Anyway, you need to take a moment. Do you need
Speaker 2: to like get some fresh air?
Speaker 3: No?
Speaker 2: No, I'm fine, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just you know,
Speaker 2: as happened to some people in years, and I just
Speaker 2: do it.
Speaker 3: Let's go back to talk about a segment that doesn't
Speaker 3: make you want to say cuss words on the air
Speaker 3: at nine o'clock in the morning.
Speaker 2: It wasn't even really a cuss word.
Speaker 3: It was I was just looking up. We were talking about
Speaker 3: the Pewee Harman documentary. Do you realize that, you know,
Speaker 3: some of these shows have such an impact on culture,
Speaker 3: but that you look them up and you don't even
Speaker 3: realize or I didn't, at least that it was a
Speaker 3: short run and only it was only on the air
Speaker 3: for four years, and it felt like it was on
Speaker 3: for fifteen years.
Speaker 2: Really it was only on for four.
Speaker 3: Peewee's playoffs aired from nineteen eighty six to nineteen ninety,
Speaker 3: making it a four year run.
Speaker 2: That's it, only four years.
Speaker 1: Did you say nineteen ninety six to nineteen ninety eighty six?
Speaker 2: Eighty six to ninety.
Speaker 1: Okay, So maybe that's why I remember the movies much
Speaker 1: more than the actual show. There was like a talking
Speaker 1: chair or something like that in the show. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was Cherry.
Speaker 2: It's like a fever dream. It's all kind of coming
Speaker 2: back to me.
Speaker 3: I think the movies, yeah, it makes it, you know,
Speaker 3: it adds to the longevity of it. But the you
Speaker 3: know Saturday Morning show was only four or four years running.
Speaker 2: Wasn't that long, But then you got the movies.
Speaker 3: I think that, you know, in your mind thinks makes
Speaker 3: it seem longer than what it is.
Speaker 1: Well, it's it's it's weird the things that you remember.
Speaker 1: But I'll have to check out a little pee wee Herman.
Speaker 1: It is otega Oway Day, Shane, and we should mention
Speaker 1: that it is decision day for Otegah. He has until
Speaker 1: eleven fifty nine tonight to withdraw from the NBA Draft
Speaker 1: and officially a return back to Kentucky. At least that's
Speaker 1: the hope for many listening to this show. Right now,
Speaker 1: there's some new reporting that has come out. Matt Norlander
Speaker 1: is reporting that always feedback over the last couple of
Speaker 1: days has been overwhelmingly positive. So while Norlander still expects
Speaker 1: Otega away to come back to Kentucky, there are some
Speaker 1: reports that the feedback is good. And then Darryl Bird
Speaker 1: is down in Florida for the sec ME and he
Speaker 1: had a report on the Cats pause that Oa has
Speaker 1: one final workout today with an NBA team before he
Speaker 1: will make his final decision. Shannon, does any of this
Speaker 1: new news change your opinion on what you think Otega will.
Speaker 3: Do later today? No, I think he's still coming back
Speaker 3: at Kentucky. But I think he's getting every last drop
Speaker 3: out of this experience that he can, as he should,
Speaker 3: right because he's going to go back again next year
Speaker 3: after this upcoming season and go through the process again.
Speaker 3: So I think that if you have the opportunity to
Speaker 3: work out for the NBA teams, you should work out
Speaker 3: for every team that you have that opportunity for, because
Speaker 3: who knows, this last team that he's working out for
Speaker 3: today very well could be the team that ends up
Speaker 3: drafting him next year. So why would you not go
Speaker 3: at least through that process. You're already in the process.
Speaker 3: He's you know, he's all in. I don't think that
Speaker 3: you just if you're going to test the waters, you
Speaker 3: just go, well, I'm going to do it with this
Speaker 3: team and this team, but not the other teams.
Speaker 2: I think that would be foolish to do that.
Speaker 3: So now that you're already in the the process, she
Speaker 3: might as well work out.
Speaker 2: For every team that you have the opportunity for.
Speaker 3: And I think that's smart on his point on his part,
Speaker 3: but I don't think that it's going to change his mind,
Speaker 3: and I think he will be announcing later on today
Speaker 3: that he's coming back to Kentucky.
Speaker 1: When your dream is to make the NBA, Like you said, Shannon,
Speaker 1: I think it's foolish to not explore every avenue. And
Speaker 1: that's what otega Oway is doing. And I love to
Speaker 1: hear that the feedback is overwhelmingly positive. That means he
Speaker 1: will be even a bigger contributor for Kentucky next year
Speaker 1: if he does decide to return. But if he doesn't, Shannon,
Speaker 1: I mean, what do you think about this roster? I mean,
Speaker 1: where are you at with what Mark Pope has without Oteka?
Speaker 2: If that was the decision, I'm kind of on.
Speaker 1: The verge of it's near a top ten roster without him.
Speaker 1: With him, it could be a top five, top three.
Speaker 1: Do you agree with that or do you think a
Speaker 1: little differently.
Speaker 3: I think he has a big impact, more so than
Speaker 3: what we knew this time last year, right especially going
Speaker 3: through the season and realizing, Okay, this is the guy
Speaker 3: that's putting the team on his back and scoring double
Speaker 3: digits and nearly every game throughout the season. If he
Speaker 3: doesn't come back, I mean, they still have a great team,
Speaker 3: but they need him. Let's not split here. I mean,
Speaker 3: let's be rull about it. They need Otega away for
Speaker 3: next season. If he doesn't come back, there's still a
Speaker 3: top twenty five team. I don't know if I'm going
Speaker 3: to say top ten, still a top twenty five, but
Speaker 3: I think that this team will be centered around Otega
Speaker 3: oway and if he doesn't come back, then you have
Speaker 3: to lean on the experience of your other guys that
Speaker 3: you had in the transfer portal.
Speaker 2: Yeah, which is bizarre.
Speaker 1: I mean, just think about like a year and a
Speaker 1: half ago, this guy's transferring from Oklahoma.
Speaker 2: I mean, do we.
Speaker 1: Even really know who this guy is? But he ends
Speaker 1: up scoring double digits in all but two games, game
Speaker 1: winners against Oklahoma twice. Man, he was the heart and
Speaker 1: soul of this team in a lot of ways, And
Speaker 1: you're right, I mean, it just takes on a completely
Speaker 1: different vibe if he were to come back. I mean,
Speaker 1: you're looking at a SEC preseason player of the year, possibility,
Speaker 1: first team All SEC. And I'm excited. I'm excited for
Speaker 1: the kid. Whatever he decides to do. I think he's
Speaker 1: got a very bright, few mature but these Cats fans
Speaker 1: would love him back, and you know, he would be.
Speaker 2: Embraced again by this fan base.
Speaker 1: Of of course he would so exciting news possibly coming
Speaker 1: later today with otega Oway Hey five nine two eight
Speaker 1: oh two two eight seven Texas five o two two
Speaker 1: six five six six five six.
Speaker 2: I'll try not to cuss the rest of the show.
Speaker 2: Do you have any more cuss words? No, No, it's fine.
Speaker 2: I just wanted to test the dump button. I mean,
Speaker 2: i'd assume it works.
Speaker 1: I don't know well it better. I mean, you're the producer.
Speaker 1: You got one job over there. If you could do that,
Speaker 1: I'll slow down.
Speaker 2: I got more. You're the one with one job.
Speaker 1: No, no, listen, I need to call you out a
Speaker 1: second saying I don't do anything for twenty three hours
Speaker 1: yesterday when we were talking about the Matt Jones show.
Speaker 2: You guys were on KSR. That was factual.
Speaker 1: Please Shannon, listen, GM Billy is going to make sure
Speaker 1: you don't get that speaking role in the next movie.
Speaker 1: If that's the case, we'll take a break and be
Speaker 1: right back here on the KSR pre show. Okay, this
Speaker 1: is pee Wee. I could tell by this random scream there.
Speaker 3: You know, like that's one of those shows I watched
Speaker 3: as a kid.
Speaker 2: And I what am I even watching? Like what even
Speaker 2: is this?
Speaker 3: And I'm watching it now like I don't even understand,
Speaker 3: Like what how did this even become a show?
Speaker 2: It's just so ridiculous.
Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, it does seem like it's a show that's
Speaker 1: on drugs or something like it was.
Speaker 3: It was so eighties, it was very eighties comedy.
Speaker 2: We yeah, we we heard the pee wee Herman scream. There.
Speaker 2: Podcast listeners got the scream of Matt.
Speaker 1: Yesterday with no music played that country song and he
Speaker 1: decided to do the scream too. It's it's actually been
Speaker 1: a lot of fun listening to the out of content
Speaker 1: singing of like Matt and you guys on KSR without
Speaker 1: the podcast music. But I know you miss it, and
Speaker 1: that's a big part of what you do, Shannon. So
Speaker 1: unfortunately people don't get to hear that. That's why you
Speaker 1: have to listen live.
Speaker 3: Yeah, but you get the you know, Matt reacting to
Speaker 3: the he hal song Gloom to Spare and agony on me, That's.
Speaker 2: What it was.
Speaker 1: Yeah, good stuff A five nine two eight oh two
Speaker 1: two eight seven. The Pacers got it done last night
Speaker 1: against the Next one thirty to one twenty one, and
Speaker 1: I kind of knew that was going to happen, Shannon.
Speaker 1: After I saw that Tyrese Haliburton's dad was back in
Speaker 1: the building, the band was lifted. He was allowed to
Speaker 1: go watch his son play, and Tyrese did something that
Speaker 1: no other NBA player has ever done. Thirty three points,
Speaker 1: fifteen assists, twelve rebounds and zero turnovers. He is the
Speaker 1: first player in NBA history in the conference finals to
Speaker 1: have a triple double without zero or with zero turnovers.
Speaker 1: He's been incredible, Shannon. And since the NBA players voted
Speaker 1: him the most overrated player in the league, that is
Speaker 1: his peers making that decision. He has been an exceptional player. No,
Speaker 1: there's no doubt, yep, he has been. We just need
Speaker 1: to keep Dad over there on the sidelines. Like, Dad,
Speaker 1: you don't belong on the floor.
Speaker 3: Don't be coming out here talking trash after we beat
Speaker 3: the Knicks, you know, just know your role, Dad, So
Speaker 3: that's my main focus. But yah, Halliburton has been great,
Speaker 3: no doubt about it. And now it's a three to
Speaker 3: one series.
Speaker 2: That's right.
Speaker 3: Actually both series are three to one. So do you
Speaker 3: think that the Thunder close it out tonight?
Speaker 2: I do.
Speaker 1: I think Okasee is the team to beat the year
Speaker 1: and unfortunate that the Knicks couldn't make it two to two,
Speaker 1: but we'll get at least one more game in Madison
Speaker 1: Square Garden.
Speaker 2: That's right, yep.
Speaker 3: And you can bet it all on DraftKings promo code KSR.
Speaker 3: If you're a new customer, bet five dollars. If your
Speaker 3: first bet hits, you're gonna get three hundred dollars in
Speaker 3: bonus bets.
Speaker 2: That's the deal right now.

Speaker 1: So tonight you can watch Shay Gil Just Alexander take
Speaker 1: on Julius Randall. Julius Randall was a player that was
Speaker 1: traded from the Knicks to the Timberwolves, and he recently
Speaker 1: made some comments that drew some questions. Shannon said about
Speaker 1: talk about playing in New York that it's not fun.
Speaker 1: You can't really focus on the game. You're focused on
Speaker 1: everything else other than the game itself. You're living and
Speaker 1: dying with every single shot, every single turnover, every single loss.
Speaker 2: Probably that sounds pretty dramatically.
Speaker 3: In New York delay in New York kidding me. I mean,
Speaker 3: I've realized there's a lot going on there. But I mean,
Speaker 3: you're a professional athlete. You should be able to be
Speaker 3: focused enough on the game for a few hours to
Speaker 3: be able to go out there and not feel like
Speaker 3: you're distracted by everything that's New York, wouldn't you think, right?
Speaker 1: I mean, right, if you're a professional athlete, you're not
Speaker 1: distracted by the fans, right, you should ultimately be in
Speaker 1: a bubble.
Speaker 2: Maybe, But they mean these are humans, right, I mean
Speaker 2: they I mean I.
Speaker 3: Guess like for somebody you know, you think coming and
Speaker 3: right out of college, which he's not right out of college,
Speaker 3: but for you know, rookies that are imagine going from
Speaker 3: you know, a midwestern school to New York City, I
Speaker 3: mean that's a culture shock and the lifestyle is completely
Speaker 3: different there.
Speaker 1: And like let's take Kentucky out of the equation, Like
Speaker 1: even western Kentucky. You've got maybe three four reporters there
Speaker 1: and two of them are students. Right, It's they's softball questions.
Speaker 1: They want to make you look good so they can
Speaker 1: write stories and they can continue to get access to
Speaker 1: the program.
Speaker 2: New York Man, they're like, you know, why are you so.
Speaker 1: Awful at basketball? Like why are you out at the
Speaker 1: club last night? Shouldn't you be working on your jump shot?
Speaker 1: How does professional basketball miss a free or professional basketball
Speaker 1: player missed this many free throws? Like I'm sure, yeah,
Speaker 1: I mean ask Mitchell Robinson. He's getting some of that
Speaker 1: treatment in New York right now. So, like it's I'm
Speaker 1: sure it is tough.
Speaker 2: It is.
Speaker 1: It can be a ruthless media market. But to hear
Speaker 1: Julius Randall say it ain't fun and you're living and
Speaker 1: dying with every single shot, you gotta think that's really
Speaker 1: tough on somebody's mental If you're trying to find success
Speaker 1: in a place.
Speaker 2: Like that, he's gotta be tough.
Speaker 3: I mean's's I mean you think Kentucky's like that to
Speaker 3: a degree. Yeah, I mean the spotlight's on you. You
Speaker 3: know it's going to be when you're in New York
Speaker 3: and playing for the Knicks as well. But yeah, Kentucky,
Speaker 3: it's tough, especially you know at the even younger age,
Speaker 3: talking about kids coming straight out of high school and
Speaker 3: now all of a sudden, you're the focus everywhere you go.
Speaker 3: You know, there's fans that recognize you.
Speaker 2: And what and when is it at Kentucky? We can't
Speaker 2: hide you here. That's right. This place isn't for everyone.
Speaker 2: This isn't for everyone. That's right.
Speaker 1: All right, We're gonna take a break. Much more on
Speaker 1: the way on this Wednesday edition of the show. Before
Speaker 1: the show, the Casurpre Show, We'll be right back.
Speaker 2: Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It is the KSR Pre Show, Billy and the Dude.
Speaker 1: It's Wednesday, May twenty eighth, and we've got a little
Speaker 1: pumpkin action in the garden.
Speaker 2: I saw Shannon the Dude post a picture yesterday.
Speaker 3: Yep, we got the leaves have sprouted up or something's happening.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure what's happening, but we got something green
Speaker 3: coming out of the garden.
Speaker 2: So that's good. Something green, that's good.
Speaker 3: I saw it actually pushed up one of the seeds
Speaker 3: that was open, and there was a seed just sitting
Speaker 3: on top of the leaf. I go, I don't know
Speaker 3: what that means, So I just took this. They can
Speaker 3: put it back in the ground. Apparently you put it
Speaker 3: back apparently, like the thing that was supposed to sprout
Speaker 3: already came out of it. And I guess that was
Speaker 3: maybe that that leave came out of that seed. I
Speaker 3: didn't realize it. So look, I'm just trying to figure
Speaker 3: this out as I go.
Speaker 1: Yeah, we're just crossing our fingers helping these pumpkins sproud
Speaker 1: at the right time.
Speaker 3: Throw a little miracle grow on it, maybe some water,
Speaker 3: and we'll just see what happens from there. And I
Speaker 3: guess next step is we've got to have some flowers
Speaker 3: that come on there. Then once the flowers start blooming out,
Speaker 3: then you get the pumpkins.
Speaker 2: Right. That always works.
Speaker 1: It sounds like you know what you're doing, So you
Speaker 1: just keep as posted control of this guy. I'm excited
Speaker 1: to carve a homemade Shannon the Dude pumpkin.
Speaker 2: When October comes around this year.
Speaker 1: Today is the last day of classes for many high
Speaker 1: schools across Kentucky, including Fayette County.
Speaker 2: Uh So, summer's officially here.
Speaker 1: If Memorial Day wasn't the unofficial kickoff when the kids
Speaker 1: are done for school, summer really is here, and teaching
Speaker 1: is an interesting dynamics Shannon, right, I mean, you work hard,
Speaker 1: so hard with children for many months and then you
Speaker 1: get summer breakof would you like a summer break?
Speaker 2: Like, would you like that cycle?
Speaker 1: Because I'm sure that can be a little vicious waiting
Speaker 1: all year for summer to come around.
Speaker 2: You're talking about like if I were in school.
Speaker 1: Or just like right now, Like let's say you have
Speaker 1: to work with children for you know, eight or nine
Speaker 1: months out of the year, but you get three months off.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you like to have three months off. I mean,
Speaker 3: I guess some people even get three months off if
Speaker 3: they work in radio, if you're certain people. I don't
Speaker 3: get that. I get like I get my.
Speaker 2: Four weeks off because I've been here for twenty one
Speaker 2: years and that's that's plenty. That's what you get.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think, you know, a good break for
Speaker 3: teachers is necessary, a good three month break just to
Speaker 3: kind of get away from it all. And it's good
Speaker 3: for the kids too, right. I Mean at this point though,
Speaker 3: a lot of schools, it seems like, are nearly going
Speaker 3: year round because they're making up for snow days.
Speaker 2: Snow days, Yeah, what are they called NTI days? Is
Speaker 2: that what it is? Where they? Well?
Speaker 1: Or is anyone you're on the right that has taken
Speaker 1: the place of a lot of snow days, right, instead
Speaker 1: of being able to go out on the sled and
Speaker 1: enjoy your actual day, they'll say, you have an NTI
Speaker 1: day and you have to sit on your computer all day,
Speaker 1: which is a shame, Shannon, you know, I mean, it's
Speaker 1: it's just how the times have changed, and COVID definitely
Speaker 1: made that a lot worse. But you know, you kind
Speaker 1: of you work all week for the weekend, right, and
Speaker 1: you'll work eight or nine months for the summer vacation.
Speaker 1: So salute to our teachers and hopefully this last day
Speaker 1: goes easy for you. But I do have a little
Speaker 1: bit of a fair or foul regarding teachers. Sure, I
Speaker 1: just get ready for this one. There's a senior at
Speaker 1: Northeastern University that is asking for a tuition refund after
Speaker 1: busting her professor for using chat GPT. So normally it's
Speaker 1: the other way around when students are using chat GPT
Speaker 1: to write a paper or anything like this, but it
Speaker 1: was actually the professor was using AI generated images that
Speaker 1: appeared to be distorted and even people with extra limbs
Speaker 1: in the professor's lectures. After a little bit of digging,
Speaker 1: the student learned that the professor had been using AI
Speaker 1: tools but not telling the students about it. So they
Speaker 1: were using it in their curriculum and all the things
Speaker 1: that they were teaching the students, but all the while
Speaker 1: the professor demanded the students not to use AI. So
Speaker 1: the student is filing a complaint and requesting a refund
Speaker 1: of more than eight thousand dollars intuition costs for the course.
Speaker 1: The professor acknowledged the use of AI and admitted that
Speaker 1: he should have looked closer at the material, but the
Speaker 1: refund was refused by the school. So, Shannon fairrofoul or
Speaker 1: do you think that this student should get a refund
Speaker 1: for finding out their professor was using AI.
Speaker 2: Let's do as I say, not as I do.
Speaker 3: Right, If you're the professor, you're telling all these students
Speaker 3: you cannot use chet GPT, yet the professor is doing
Speaker 3: exactly that. I think the students got a good argument here.
Speaker 3: I mean, if it were the other way around and
Speaker 3: the professor found out the student was using chat GPT,
Speaker 3: probably expelled, expelled, the test.
Speaker 2: The test fell the great, whatever it might be.
Speaker 3: So yeah, I think you know, if you're gonna say,
Speaker 3: you know, it's cheating for the students to do it.
Speaker 3: I don't think a professor should be able to take
Speaker 3: a short cut either, so I think it's a valid argument.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm kind of with you.
Speaker 1: I mean, if the professor was upfront and said, hey,
Speaker 1: I'm using AI to help with my power points, to
Speaker 1: help with the even the content that you know, I'm
Speaker 1: using for you to learn, then I think it would
Speaker 1: be fine. But when you ask your students not to
Speaker 1: use AI and in turn you are using it to
Speaker 1: present material, I just that doesn't seem right.
Speaker 3: I'm just thinking how much easier class would have been
Speaker 3: having chet GPT.
Speaker 2: Oh come on, I mean it's not even class at that.
Speaker 3: I it's you can and if you were smart, you
Speaker 3: would use it to write your paper for you and
Speaker 3: then just put it in your own words and there's
Speaker 3: your paper. Right.
Speaker 2: How hard is that?
Speaker 1: It's it's gotten even worse now you type in, you know,
Speaker 1: write an essay for me as a you know, a
Speaker 1: low a student that could not be found out using
Speaker 1: AI tool.
Speaker 2: Yeah, you know what I mean.
Speaker 1: Like, so do you just enter differently into the prompt
Speaker 1: and it's going to change it? And as much advancement
Speaker 1: as we've seen an AI over the last couple of years, Shannon,
Speaker 1: I gotta think, I mean, how are they going to
Speaker 1: be able to stop this?
Speaker 2: I don't think. I don't know that. I don't think
Speaker 2: you can.
Speaker 3: I mean, once the tooth pastes out of the tube,
Speaker 3: you can't put it back in. And I think that's
Speaker 3: kind of the situation with AI, Like the farther and
Speaker 3: farther we go along with the advancements of AI.
Speaker 2: How do you stop it?
Speaker 3: I don't think you can, Like, there's no way that
Speaker 3: I know that a professor could go. I mean, I
Speaker 3: guess you could go and try to enter in the
Speaker 3: same thing that you think that the student may have,
Speaker 3: you know, entered it for a prompt on chat GBT, but.
Speaker 2: Sure it's yeah, I don't I don't know. It's really
Speaker 2: tough to figure that out. Yeah, I guess. I guess.
Speaker 1: The The counter argument is, you are doing a disservice
Speaker 1: to yourself using chat comployees.
Speaker 3: Do you think I cared? All I cared about was
Speaker 3: do I have an AB or a C next to
Speaker 3: my name?
Speaker 1: That well, that's that's the problem with the education system
Speaker 1: in this country. And this is not the right show
Speaker 1: for this, And I get into that that's more.
Speaker 3: For I just I just wanted to get I just
Speaker 3: wanted to get to college and play baseball.
Speaker 2: That was it. Let me play baseball.
Speaker 1: I took three years of Spanish, I could barely speak
Speaker 1: a word.
Speaker 2: Let's be part of it.
Speaker 3: Let's be completely real about it. What you and I
Speaker 3: are doing right now. You went to Western Kentucky. So
Speaker 3: you went to school for broadcasting.
Speaker 2: I did not.
Speaker 3: I learned under the you know, tutelage of Tony Venetti.
Speaker 3: You know, he was my professor in radio. He was
Speaker 3: I mean, like you know, he was doing all the
Speaker 3: rock station stuff, and he was the guy that I
Speaker 3: was learning under, uh for a good part of my career.
Speaker 3: Then he went into sports radio. Then I went to
Speaker 3: sports radio as well. So in a way, my career
Speaker 3: has sort of mirrored his. And you know, I didn't
Speaker 3: have to go to school for it. So you know,
Speaker 3: I played baseball four years, went to college.
Speaker 2: Didn't take anything really that I learned in college.
Speaker 3: Here now, I will say it did help me get
Speaker 3: this career because I was able to intern at the
Speaker 3: radio station through the college, which I would not have
Speaker 3: had the opportunity. So basically I paid a good amount
Speaker 3: of money to do an internship to get into radio.
Speaker 2: Well, it's about leaving the nest.
Speaker 1: It's about you know, growing on your own and finding
Speaker 1: these opportunities. So you know, cynically, you could look at hey,
Speaker 1: you know, nothing I did in college led to me
Speaker 1: to be in my career, But Shannon, I would disagree.
Speaker 1: I would say, you would not be who you are
Speaker 1: today if.
Speaker 2: You didn't do them.
Speaker 3: The best class I took that helped with what we
Speaker 3: do now is was it Lindsay Wilson My freshman year?
Speaker 3: It was public speaking? And I still hate public speaking,
Speaker 3: believe it or not. Like the radio to me isn't
Speaker 3: public speaking. But if you said, like, you know, I
Speaker 3: want you to come do a speech, I would hate
Speaker 3: to do that. I don't like. I don't enjoy that
Speaker 3: at all. Like I know that Matt goes around and
Speaker 3: does these speaking engagements. I think he has one coming
Speaker 3: up soon. Yeah maybe today.
Speaker 2: I think it's tonight.
Speaker 3: Yeah maybe today. But you know that's not me. Like
Speaker 3: I don't enjoy doing that type of thing. I don't
Speaker 3: like to be asked to do that type of thing.
Speaker 3: You know, I can go out and do a remote
Speaker 3: in front of three hundred people and be fine, But
Speaker 3: I you know, that's not a speech, that's just.
Speaker 1: Yeah, the public speaking is different, Like you got note cards,
Speaker 1: you're trying to make eye contact with people. Your body
Speaker 1: language is very important. You know, we do a radio
Speaker 1: show in a remote. You know, sometimes we're sitting, sometimes
Speaker 1: we're standing. You know, it's much more of a conversation,
Speaker 1: and we're trying to be entertainers. And that's much different
Speaker 1: than like, I have a pointed message i'd like to get.
Speaker 2: Across, but don't ask me to do that. I'm not
Speaker 2: doing that. I'd like to hear.
Speaker 1: No, Shannon, maybe you can give us a speech or
Speaker 1: a tutorial on how to grow pumpkins. Maybe a few
Speaker 1: months from now, would you be able to break it
Speaker 1: down for us, maybe create a PowerPoint.
Speaker 3: So maybe so you know, like you know, like when
Speaker 3: a president though does a speech, there's teleprompters there teleprompters.
Speaker 3: You know, it's different if I'm reading off a teleprompter,
Speaker 3: I guess, but I would just feel like, you know,
Speaker 3: am I being entertaining enough if I'm just reading off
Speaker 3: a teleprompter?
Speaker 2: And you know, I don't like.
Speaker 3: Listen to people public speaking. I don't like I just
Speaker 3: don't enjoy it. Unless somebody I'm I'm really interested in,
Speaker 3: which the amount of people that I'm really interested in
Speaker 3: enough to sit there and listen to somebody talk for
Speaker 3: an hour that exists in this world is probably like
Speaker 3: I don't know, two three maybe well.
Speaker 1: You know, I think we were talking about public speaking,
Speaker 1: and I think of our guy Ryan Lemon again. I mean,
Speaker 1: he goes out there and does public speaking in front
Speaker 1: of the engineering conference here in Lexington about engineering, has
Speaker 1: no idea about engineering and really doesn't know what he's
Speaker 1: going to talk about, I think until he gets up there.
Speaker 1: And so that's a nice career. There is an art
Speaker 1: to it, and the bad jokes that he delivered. I
Speaker 1: think that day eight five nine two eight h two
Speaker 1: two eight seven. There were some big news in the
Speaker 1: Kentucky sports world when offensive line coach Eric Woolford signed
Speaker 1: a new one year contract extension with the Kentucky football team,
Speaker 1: and he also got one hundred thousand dollars raise, so
Speaker 1: he will now make nine hundred thousand dollars this year.
Speaker 1: Shannon he was with Kentucky in twenty twenty one. He
Speaker 1: left in the middle of a recruiting trip to go
Speaker 1: join Nick Saban in Alabama for two years. He is
Speaker 1: now back at Kentucky and this will be year three
Speaker 1: overall with the Cats. Year two in this stint. Before
Speaker 1: I give my take, Shannon, tell me what you thought
Speaker 1: your initial reaction when Eric Wolford got the contract extension.
Speaker 3: Well, I know this is Stoop's buddy and he's going
Speaker 3: to take care of his buddies. And you know, I
Speaker 3: understand that, like you probably would too if you were
Speaker 3: the head coach you had the chance to get one
Speaker 3: of your your good friends and assistant a coach paid
Speaker 3: more money, you would probably do it for them. But
Speaker 3: do I think that it's deserved. No, not at a
Speaker 3: one hundred thousand dollars raise, Billy, what were they? What
Speaker 3: was the offensive line ranked last year? Like, you know,
Speaker 3: if you're gonna get a raise, you have to be
Speaker 3: able to show results. You have to be able to
Speaker 3: show that you earn that money. But this just seems
Speaker 3: to be a one hundred thousand dollars raised just because.
Speaker 3: And boy would I love to have one of those.
Speaker 3: But no, I don't think it's deserved at all. And
Speaker 3: I know that offensive line was not ranked highly. I
Speaker 3: don't know the number. I want to say, like well.
Speaker 1: The last thing image of the offensive line last year
Speaker 1: Minci at the concession stand for better or for worse.
Speaker 1: I mean, this is you know, Kentucky has tried to
Speaker 1: reinvent the big Blue wall and it just has not worked.
Speaker 1: And this is a guy that's already spurned Stoops to
Speaker 1: a degree, leaving for Alabama the first time he was
Speaker 1: I believe his college roommate back in the day, and
Speaker 1: and Stoops has since in the last few years hired
Speaker 1: his brother and his college roommates. So you could look
Speaker 1: at that from afar and think maybe he's gotten complacent,
Speaker 1: you know, maybe he is not doing things the same
Speaker 1: way he was early in his tenure. But I want
Speaker 1: to reserve judgment. I I hate to kill a guy
Speaker 1: on the air, Shanon. That's just that's just not who
Speaker 1: I am. Like, I'm I'm not gonna you know, listen,
Speaker 1: that was dumped. I I don't want to come on
Speaker 1: here and say, like somebody should be fired. I don't
Speaker 1: think that's my role or my job. I didn't say
Speaker 1: that either, but but I want to. I want to
Speaker 1: be clear about this. We have not seen the development
Speaker 1: needed from the offensive line to justify this race. Now,
Speaker 1: Eric Wolford is somebody that is what I've heard is
Speaker 1: a very good recruiter, a big part of the talent
Speaker 1: that has come in over the last couple of years.
Speaker 1: And it looks like he's done a pretty good job
Speaker 1: of bringing in a new crop of recruits this year
Speaker 1: for the rotating offensive line or even the skill players.
Speaker 1: I know he's very involved with that. So if you
Speaker 1: look at it from one hundred mile view, Shan, and
Speaker 1: if you think that player development is in the past
Speaker 1: and the only thing that matters is recruiting and getting
Speaker 1: guys every single year from the transfer portal, then yes,
Speaker 1: I see this is absolutely a good move. Eric Wolford
Speaker 1: seems to be a personable guy that can relate with
Speaker 1: young kids. But if you're looking for player development, he
Speaker 1: has not showed over the last five years that he
Speaker 1: can go from the one year to the next improving guys,
Speaker 1: playing backups, and putting the offensive line in good situations.
Speaker 1: That's just my take showing yep, and I agree with
Speaker 1: most of that.
Speaker 3: Like I said, I just don't think that that offensive
Speaker 3: line has shown that it's good enough for the coach
Speaker 3: to be paid an extra one hundred thousand dollars for
Speaker 3: one year.
Speaker 1: Well, neither is the tight ends coach, Vince Merrow. What
Speaker 1: production have we gotten from tight ends over the.
Speaker 3: Last five You want to talk about recruiters, I mean
Speaker 3: I think that a good part of those roster wouldn't
Speaker 3: be here if it weren't for Vince Merril.
Speaker 2: So I'll take up for Vince.
Speaker 1: Well, that's what I mean. That's my point is they
Speaker 1: can have these titles of offensive line coach and tight
Speaker 1: ends coach, but what they do as recruiters, I think
Speaker 1: ultimately is what gets them these raises and why there's
Speaker 1: some of the highest paid assistants.
Speaker 3: Maybe so, but again I think a lot of this
Speaker 3: is how much just the tight end utilized in the offense.
Speaker 3: Not much, not much. No, So is that Vince Merrill's fault, No,
Speaker 3: he's not the one.
Speaker 1: I think there has to be some blame for the
Speaker 1: development and the uses of tight ends from the tight
Speaker 1: end coach, Shannon. I mean, you don't just get absolved
Speaker 1: from that because the offense doesn't throw to tight ends enough.
Speaker 1: But look, we're people that you know, we do this
Speaker 1: from pretty far away from the football program. So take
Speaker 1: what we say with a grain of salt. But there
Speaker 1: is a lot of negative reaction from the Eric Wolford
Speaker 1: contract extension. I'm here to tell you, if the way
Speaker 1: of the future is just recruiting the next guy, then
Speaker 1: this could be a good move.
Speaker 2: But if you're looking.
Speaker 1: At player development, I just haven't seen enough from Eric.
Speaker 3: Another thing I would say about Vince Marrow is, if
Speaker 3: anything he has shown that he is loyal to this program,
Speaker 3: can Eric Wolford say that?
Speaker 1: No?
Speaker 2: Okay, that's why I think.
Speaker 3: You know, that's another reason I think that Vince Merrow,
Speaker 3: who could have left this program at a long time ago,
Speaker 3: multiple different times, has always stuck with Kentucky.
Speaker 1: It always seems like there's a job out there. Yeah,
Speaker 1: Vince is in the running for right.
Speaker 2: And where's Vince. He's at Kentucky. Yeah, big dogs still here.
Speaker 2: He's a guy I would want to go into the
Speaker 2: trenches with so even.
Speaker 1: More pressure for this team to produce, to win, to
Speaker 1: make a bowl game this year, because when you're giving
Speaker 1: assistance contract extensions in the middle of the offseason, it
Speaker 1: just doesn't make a ton of sense. But we need
Speaker 1: to take a break eight five nine two eight h
Speaker 1: two two eight seven. We will be right back for
Speaker 1: one final segment. Here on the Ksippre Show, Welcome back.
Speaker 1: It's our final segment here on a Wednesday, Billy and
Speaker 1: the Dude. Not too long of a segment here after
Speaker 1: we went a little long on the Eric Wolford Conversation.
Speaker 1: Let's take our first phone call to day. Grandma Sarah
Speaker 1: is on the line. Good morning, Grandma Sarah.
Speaker 2: How are you?
Speaker 4: I'm fine? Thank you. Two quick things for Shannon. One
Speaker 4: right off, in case you didn't know what you probably do,
Speaker 4: Lindsay WHISTLM. Lindsey Wilson College has now been changed to
Speaker 4: Lindsay Wilson University.
Speaker 2: I did not know that. No, I wasn't aware of that.
Speaker 4: I think it is changing either the first of June
Speaker 4: or the end of June. It's coming up in a
Speaker 4: few weeks, so you can say you went to a university. Okay.
Speaker 4: The other thing is I've never grown pumpkins, but I
Speaker 4: know a little bit about them. The vines. I'm going
Speaker 4: to be listening all summer to get a report on
Speaker 4: the radio comut. But those vines may go all over
Speaker 4: your backyard, if it's in your corner of your yard,
Speaker 4: they grow, I mean they are very long. And these people,
Speaker 4: these people that grow these big punkins that take to
Speaker 4: the fair. Okay, when they only have when they start blooming,
Speaker 4: they'll only have one bloom on the plant for the
Speaker 4: one for the big punkin. So you might experiment a
Speaker 4: little bit. Take one of your plants and just when
Speaker 4: they start blooming, just have one bloom on it for
Speaker 4: all the nursehment to go to that one, you know punkin.
Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, you're saying, take all the other blooms off
Speaker 3: and just have one just to take all the other
Speaker 3: ones in their own Okay, Okay, yeah, you might.
