Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.

Today is Wednesday, January twenty.

First, I'm Billy Rutlidge along with Shannon the Dude gives calling the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line.

That's eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.

You could always textas at the Quantrelle Auto Group text line at five oh two two six five six six five six.

And it's another hump Day edition of the show.

Game Day edition is the Cats take on Texas A little later this evening.

Shannon the Dude is in Louisville, Kentucky.

Good morning, Shannon.

You got a little snow on the ground there in Louisville because we sure got a little dusting this morning here.

Yeah, it was like kind of like ice coming down sleet this morning.

It took me an hour and five minutes to get from my house to the station this morning.

Wow.

Yeah, so it wasn't a good start for me, rex everywhere.

I'm surprised they did not close schools in Louisville.

Schools are open in Louisville.

Other counties go to this I guess NTI day where they I guess learn on their computers.

Basically it's a snow day.

But I mean, if I were a kid and I was at home, I'm not opening that computer to get on for Ntida too.

Well, it was the work book, right, We used to get a work book, but they, you know, can't plan ahead when you have surprise snow days to get a work book.

So now, I mean, I feel bad for the kids.

Don't you like give them a snow day.

I was just shocked that as bad as the roads were this morning, they didn't call off school.

I guess they don't want to go to school in the middle of June.

I don't know if that's the reason, but I don't think that's a good reason because I mean, I'm driving around with four little drive and AJEEB Wrangler and I'm thinking about school buses that are probably slotting all over the road, and I don't understand why they didn't call it off today.

They definitely should have.

Well that was me this morning in my real will drive Dodge Charger, taking the turns extremely slow, causing maybe some people like Shannon the Dude to get to work a little bit later today.

But was a little worried when Matt went on the show yesterday and said that there's a chance we get fourteen to eighteen inches this week.

Okay, now see the forecast that I kind of scoffed at that, But then I've been looking into it, and look, I am not a meteorologists, so let me put that disclaimer out there right now.

But I can read an app on my phone, and if I'm just looking at what it says right now, and again, you take this.

With a grain of snow.

Snow, Okay, yes, I'm just telling you what my phone says right now.

And again, this could be completely off.

We might not get anything, Okay, but it says on my phone right now for Louisville on Saturday.

And you can look at this just to confirm that I'm not crazy.

Let me look.

You see precipitation totals there?

Oh, look at that chart.

No, do you see the precipitation total.

Do you see what he says?

Yeah, what's it said?

Eight to nineteen, eight to ten, eight to ten, eight to ten.

They wouldn't say eight to nineteen.

And then you go over to uh Sunday.

Can you see what Sunday says?

Well, that's double digits.

What is ten, ten to twelve, ten to twelve.

So again, I don't believe that we're gonna get two feet of snow.

But if you look on here, it says eight to ten one day and then ten to twelve the next.

Well, and then let's go over to Lexington real quick.

Just to okay, let's check Lexington.

Let's see what we got going on for Lexington.

Hero.

See, it's like I'm playing a meteorologist right here live on the radio.

Now.

If you look at Lexington.

Says, look behind me at the screen, wow, ten to twelve in.

The green screen.

Thing is incredible.

What's Lexing didn't say?

There, Billy?

Ten to twelve?

It does, And that's Saturday.

Okay, so we are getting something.

Yeah, it's then.

And then what's it say for Sunday?

If you look right behind me here, it says eleven eleven to fourteen?

Oh sorry?

Is it possible that we're gonna have like the snow of the century, like what I remember when I was a kid, we had like eighteen nineteen inches something like that in around ninety four.

Yeah.

Do you out for the week at that point?

Oh yeah?

Yeah, we were done, like it just shut everything down, the electric went out.

We had to get like a rye to come pick us up.

Oh yeah, the snowplows got to go out.

People need to just start salting the streets and the sidewalk right now, getting for this.

You know, the problem isn't the snow, it's the ice, right.

It's the ice that weighs down the trees or the power lines that causes people to lose power.

When I moved up here from Florida to Kentucky in two thousand and eight, that was the ice storm as soon as we got there, or really maybe in like the couple months that we got there and knocked power out for us for a week.

Thank god, my dad had a generator, Shannon.

We were able to still have the fridge going, still have a couple things going.

That's the problem I have now if I lose power, Shannon, I mean, I don't know, but you're just gonna, I don't know, light some candles, find some blankets.

I mean, I'm not sure what.

I'm gonna do.

I mean, that's kind of like my question that I have for you this morning, Shannon.

If you were to lose power, what's the first thing that you do?

Light my gas fireplace?

Gas fireplace?

I think that works right, the power goes out, your gas still works, right, And I have one, I just haven't used it in all the years that I've lived at the house.

I guess I got a fiddle with that.

Go outside and like a rub two sticks together.

Well yeah, I mean.

I've got two cats and a dog and a fiance.

I've got to keep a warm Shannon.

So I'm not really sure what to do.

I'm using the cat and the dog to like warm me up.

I'm gonna use them as blankets.

I'm not worried about their warmth.

I'm worried about mine.

At this point.

It's survival, Like you know, we run out of food.

The cat and the dog aren't off the table, or maybe maybe they will be on the table.

On my plate.

No, absolutely not.

It's like the shining over here.

They are family.

I cannot butcher them up.

We'd love to have you for dinner, a warm Shannon.

But I'd love to have you for dinner.

Literally, I mean we've got a That was Jeffrey Dahmer's line.

Well, talk about creepy.

I mean that's who you You don't know who's living next to you at the apartment complex.

My god, but have you got your bread and milk though.

That's the thing.

I love the bread and milk, and I don't understand the bread and milk phenomenon.

I say, you can have the bread and milk, give me a frozen pizza from Shanning the dude's brew, and I'm good to go for the whole weekend.

You got some peanut butter and some jelly.

That's all that you're making with that bread, right, I mean you're not making French toast.

Noah, it's true.

Yeah, I don't know what you're doing with the bread and milk.

Well, I've got milk, don't worry about that, But I guess I do need to go get some bread.

You know, the food period pyramid was just changed.

Sham.

Bread is now like what we're not supposed to be eating.

Oh it is, Yeah, apparently I thought it was like at the top.

It was, well, it used to be.

It used to be something that people were told that we need to eat a lot of bread, and now it's like we get away from the grains and the bread sotop eating so much bread.

There's your weather and health update from the Are.

We getting old?

Or is that just how we start the show?

How we start the show.

People need to that's important.

Yeah, we need to know what So like otaga Away, you know, he was trying to tell Kerrie from Tennessee he needs to slim down a little bit, stop eating so much bread and milk and start eating his vegetables, start working out, maybe hit a treadmill every now and then.

It's for your health.

I would love trash talking in high athletics sham.

Yes.

If there was like a microphone that just hovered over the filled or the court, depending on the sport, and there was no commentary, all you could hear was the trash talk going back and forth.

Tell me you wouldn't watch that alternate channel?

Oh I would.

I absolutely.

I want to hear everything that's being said out there.

Amazon now does the camp the skycam without any announcers, so you just hear the the natural ambiance of the stadium, the crowd, you know, getting loud or booing or whatever.

But you're telling me, if I could hear just the gym floor, just the squeaks of the shoes, the whistles, and then otega Oway telling guys to slim down on the other team, I mean I would.

I would absolutely watch that you know, would miss Tom and Jack on the radio call.

But that would be an element that probably people don't get enough of a glimpse of, right, I mean, because you could sit courtside at a game, spend a lot of money on tickets and hear those things.

But if you don't ever, if you never.

Do that, chan and you may never know kind of how crazy those guys are talking out there.

I would say, even if you're at the game, you can't hear it that well, unless they're right in front of you, because there the opposite of the court, that's you can't hear.

But if we got to miked up the entire time, we can hear everything going on out there.

I thought, then we know what they said.

We had a you know, now we know that Brandon Garrison's going after every single guy on Oklahoma's team like he was last year, Right.

Yeah, but I want to hear what said.

I'm not goouldn't say the same stuff, right, And.

I'm not good at he not good at reading lips.

I need to hear it.

Mm.

Yeah, Well, I would love to hear what Jade a quaintance would say on the court right now, if he was on the court for Kentucky.

Kentucky takes on Texas tonight.

It's going to be the fourth straight game that Jane Quaintance has missed since he returned from his knee injury.

Mark Pope says, we're super optimistic, but hopefully he will be back soon.

Channon, are you super optimist optimistic that beautiful Jane Quaintance will come back and play for Kentucky soon?

Beautiful j queens.

Look, I said it yesterday, I'll continue to say.

I think that he will be back at some point.

I don't know when.

So I am I confident that he will play another game this year?

Yes, but I do think there is a high likelihood that he comes back and then oops, the leg is swelling up again, so he's going to be off another five games and then but we're running out of games, is the thing.

So I do think he'll be back, But I just I think the whole thing, as I've said in the past, is going to be touch and go, and it's going to be one of those situations where he's gained a game day to day.

Well, it's amazing Kentucky finds themselves in this stretch and conference play without Jane low and without Jane Quins, two guys that you really circled.

Is maybe your best players on the roster this year, but yet maybe you've played your best games without those two guys on the team this year.

I mean, if you go back to Pernue and you overlook the fact they didn't they didn't scout for the game, Kentucky looked pretty good for that one, and then you know here in SEC played they've done pretty well without the two.

That last win, or really the last week for Kentucky was really important.

They're up on Joe Lonardi's latest bracketology from a ten seed just outside the bubble to now an eight seed, and currently they would take on Miami in the first and then a second round matchup with possibly number one yukon.

Shannon's I would take it right now.

Well, yeah, they're in the tournament.

I mean we were having conversations just a month ago right about is this team even good enough to win enough games to get in the tournament?

So optimistic that that ship is going to I guess get to eventually it needs to go.

Shannon, Yeah, you know, I think they'll make the tournament, but again, we still have a long way to go and still a lot of things can happen, but just winning those two games was huge.

I mean, if you were.

One in four, that is a disaster, that's a team then that probably isn't going to make the tournament at that point.

And then it's a slippery slope for the locker room.

And you know things happening with Mark Pope and only his second year.

It will be interesting to see Sean Miller on the sideline for Texas tonight.

His first season with Texas or is it his second year.

I can't which one it is.

I don't I don't know.

But it's a guy that went to Xavier, then Arizona then back to Xavier.

Shannon, do you remember what Sean Miller and the controversy that he got into a few years ago.

When he was sweating so bad?

Is that controversial that was part of sweating through his white shirt?

Let's start there, because you don't want to be the guy with the pit stains.

Right, Like, oh dude, it wasn't just pit stains.

He had stains on the entire Like he looked like a guy who wore a white button down shirt and then just jumped in a pool.

Jumped in the kiddie pool.

Yeah, or maybe he's at the fair and is doing the ball dunk game where you sit on the bench and the kids try to hit the button so dump you into the tank.

Yeah, exactly.

So, like does he wear like deodorant?

Like, if you're an assistant coach, do you say something to the guy make sure he has a shirt.

I think he's aware of the fact that he's sweating through it.

I don't think you need to tell him that.

I mean, if you don't know that you're soaked in a white shirt on live TV, then your self awareness and you need to zero.

Yeah, give that guy something.

You can see his nipples.

But yeah, So his other thing that he was I guess in trouble for the controversy was like an FBI invested gation.

Was there like bribery or something going on?

Yeah, his assistance, we're doing some bribery.

Five level one violations were handed down to Arizona.

I believe Sean Miller was like on a recording talking about one hundred k payment that he would give to DeAndre Ayton, and which is amazing that you know, Kentucky will play with a twenty two million dollar roster that we know the number four.

Yeah, you know know how much money that these guys are making a lot of times.

And I mean it was not that long ago where these guys were getting punished and the NCAA was handing out violations for some of these kind of things.

I mean, now it's it's commonplace and let's be wrong.

I mean these things have been going on for years.

Players getting cars and money under the table, and we know about the Tennessee thing where they were throwing money inside of McDonald's bags and handing them out.

I mean, this stuff has been going on for a long time.

Difference is some people are better at cheating than the others.

Some people get caught, some people don't.

But I think it's been going on for years.

I'm not saying I'm not going to say it every school, but I would say a lot more schools than what we realize.

Right, But now we find the players have the power, right they can come to the coaches and say it's going to be this much or I'm just going to take my talent somewhere else.

Before it was like what can you do for me?

Here's what we can do to offer you to come to the University and maybe that's that's flipped a little bit.

But Texas has had good spurts this year.

They won at Alabama and they did beat Vandy.

Earlier this year.

Yeah, yeah, they did, so they do have it in them.

They've had losses to Mississippi State, Tennessee and Texas A and M.

One of the best teams to get into the free throw line.

According to Tom Leach and his guest this morning, I did a little show prep this morning, the right and show prep yep.

But you know, just another opportunity for Kentucky to keep that train rolling, Shannon, and in a team where you don't know who's gonna step up night by night, it could be anybody, right, I mean, it could be Colin Chandler, could be Andrea Yelovich.

It's it's really the flavor of the night when it comes to this team right now.

Yeah, I mean, I think the team more often than not is going to have to have a big game from Oway.

But they showed last game you don't have to necessarily get twenty from o Way to win the game.

He only scored twelve and then he had other guys that stepped up.

Aberdeen's been great so we need to continue, uh to get the production that they've had from him tonight against Texas.

But it should be if it's a game that you feel like you should win, but you're right, like Texas is hard to figure out.

You know, they're one of those teams that's had some good wins and then had some questionable losses as well.

But on the road for Texas, and you feel like you should win this game if you're Kentucky.

A five nine two eighth two two eight seven.

Who do you think is going to step up tonight for the Cats or Texas?

On the Quantro Auto text line at five oh two two six five six six five six, it's Wednesday, so I have some randomness ready to go today.

We're going to talk about Simon Cowell later.

All right.

I like Shatner.

Oh yeah, is in the news.

We'll talk about William Shatner, who is ninety four years old.

Can I believe that if I make it to ninety four, Shannon, that may be too much?

Didn't he just go to outer space a year or two ago?

I think?

So?

Yeah, the oldest man ever in space.

Well, when you're on Star Trek, I think the to make an exception for William Shatner, right, like I didn't get him into space.

I mean, he allegedly was in space all those years.

Turns out he was in some Hollywood studio in front of a green screen.

Again, that's right, that's right.

Well, we'll take a break and we'll get to some of this randomness coming up next year on the cas I appreciate it.

Expect a little ice this weekend.

I mean, heck, I may have to get a hotel room for the game on Saturday show.

We're getting this many inches of snow.

You enjoyed that with Tony Venetti and the guys, right.

It happened last year.

We had I think about eleven inches here in Louisville, and it was me and Venetti and a few others just stuck in a hotel room.

So we wore that bar out.

There's nothing else to do.

You guys shared a bed or did they?

No?

No, no, no, god, no, I'm not sharing a bed with I'm not sharing a bed with another grown man, and no, iHeart they got us different rooms, which you know I would accept nothing less than that.

So we had our own room.

But yeah, that happened last year.

Now, I love meteorologists, because meteorologists, you know, they're just what's a good way to put it.

I don't know what you're going for here, but you know what I.

Mean, Like they're just like they believe what they say is the gospel, right, like and everybody else is wrong.

So Mark Weinberg, who is a local meteorologist here, you know, you and I in that first segment, we're reading the snow totals off the Apple the app app, right, and he says on Twitter, I think ninety five percent plus of the meteorological community would be happy if Apple Weather disappeared.

The app is just a disaster for the weather enterprise.

Mark said that, yeah, so like just now or like earlier, oh yeah, yesterday, okay, And then David you know, jumps on there and he retweets it with the comment and says that you and I are looking at the Apple Weather app and old Weinberg doesn't like it.

And he goes on to say, as a former retired Kroger manager, those bread and milk people are out there the next day shopping, so yeah.

Well is it kin to like a doctor and like us asking these AI apps what's wrong with me?

Or like web MD trying to figure out what's wrong with me.

I've already diagnosed myself with several conditions based on Google and.

Yeah, and now I'm sticking myself with something trying to feel better.

And meanwhile, the doctor's like, if you would have just came to me, I could have told you exactly.

How to make you feel better.

Yeah.

Maybe maybe it's the same dichotomy there.

Butologists know best, huh me.

I mean I did a little meteorology back in college, Shannon.

I took a class where you had to like have the green screen and yeah, you know point.

But the thing is, like they don't even necessarily agree with each other.

Depends only because you're got to read the models and they're just predicting.

Shannon, Well, that's what my app is doing.

It's predicting.

So how's that any difference?

Is their job that?

I mean, they're trying to feed their children and you're taking away their time to just look at the app.

I mean, do you think meteorology meteorologists will be replaced by AI here in the next ten years.

I mean it's it's likely.

I mean, I like to see a human being tell me the weather, but I could also pull it up on my phone just as easy.

That's true.

So you know I used to watch Sports Center every morning to see the scores from the games the past night, and now we just get it all on our phone.

Well here's the other thing too, I'm not just going completely off the weather app.

I mean there's also weather dot Com.

Do you believe the weather channel because the Weather Channel is saying stuff that's very similar to what the Apple Weather app is saying too.

It's hard not to, but meteorologist get it wrong all the time, right, and I'm sure apps do too.

It's it's I guess there's it's not a perfect science.

So maybe that's why they're so sensitive.

You probably thinks it's a disaster for the meteorological community because they're being replaced.

I mean yeah, likely, So maybe the truck drivers as well, I mean coming for our jobs.

Shannon to stay warm on the sidelines this weekend during the Bears Rams NFL game, the Bears had chicken broth and hot chocolate with many marshmallows on their sideline.

I like, it makes you feel better, gives you some energy.

Well, sugar get a little sugar kick as well.

Yeah, that's what the Bears did the Rams put cayenne pepper in their socks to stay warm?

I saw that.

Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing.

You could put cayenne pepper in your socks and that makes your feet warm.

But I didn't know it was like like temperature warm.

The active ingredient cap saesian is known to cause blood vessels to dilate, increasing blood flow to the area and generating a warming sensation.

That is the main ingredient in cayenne pepper.

So next time you're cold, maybe this weekend, Shannon, you got a little cayenne pepper at the house, just throw them in the socks.

Apparently that's gonna make you warm.

You say it warming sensation.

It doesn't actually make you warm then, so it's just it's false, hope.

It just it makes you tricks your brain into thinking that you're warm.

Well, I guess I don't know, but you gotta do anything you can to stay warm during this time, right, I mean, really, the holy Grail is the handwarmers.

You're like, it feels like you're who cares about the cold?

I love those things.

Hot hands.

Yeah, put some of those in your shoes.

That's what you need in.

My sh shoes.

Yeah, I've already got the Kayne pepper in my socks.

Now, I got and warmers in my shoes, and it's just like trying to stay warm by any means necessary.

Uh, you got a hell that you might.

Go sled on if you get some snow shin and everybody's got one hill.

Well, I mean there's the you know, like different parks in Lobill you can go to, but you know that requires driving to them.

So yeah, that's true.

It's kind of a pain.

Knocked in the house.

Well, maybe the guys will be cold in the NFL games this weekend and you can bet on Draft kicks.

That's what I'm planning on doing, just sitting home and uh, you know, being snowed in and betting some games on Draft Kings.

NFL playoffs are here and you can bet it all with the Draft Kings sportsbook app.

If you're a new customer, sign up with the promo code ks R.

You bet five dollars that bet hits and you get three hundred dollars in bonus bets.

So I would make the first bet something that's easy.

That way, you get your three hundred dollars in bonus bets and if you bet player props, you also get the early exit protection if your player goes down with an injury in the first half.

DraftKings is going to give you your money back again.

That is KSR as your promo code on Draft Kings and the crown is yours.

If you have a gambling problem coin eight hundred Gambler eighteen plus Kentucky only Eligibiliya restrictions applied.

That must win to receive bonus bets, which expire in seven days.

Additional terms at DKNG dot co slash Audio limited time offer.

Could have won a little money on DraftKings last night if you went with Matt and his lock of the Year at Arkansas at home versus Vandy.

They won ninety three to sixty eight.

Yeah, it was ugly from the very beginning.

Vandy is struggling.

What's going on?

I mean, they're not doing well and now dropped three straight.

And yeah, they were sixteen and zero.

Now they've dropped their last three.

I think it's just when you get into the SEC you get a dose of reality because every game is going to be tough.

Not that Vandy didn't play some tough teams, not exactly a murderer's row of non conference teams they played in the schedule, but they played some decent teams, but nothing really compares to being in the conference.

And especially when you're going on the road against a good team like Arkansas, you better be ready.

Yeah, and you're right about good team like Arkansas.

They've got some dudes this year.

They look pretty good.

Yep, But we need to take a break.

When we come back, we'll talk a little bit about Shannon the Dude challenging Will Stein and his basketball fandom, and also some of these random stories I've got loaded up for us.

Keep it where you got it.

It is the KSR pre Show.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back, Billy and the Dude here until ten am.

Will hand it off to Matt and KSR.

One person on the Quandtraill Auto group text line five h two two six five six six five six said, cap sasan is what they put in law enforcement pepper spray too, So maybe the warming sensation you felt when you got pepper sprayed in the eye is what NFL players are feeling on their feet during a cold weather game.

Just don't want to reach down and like you know, scratch your your ankle or something and then touch your eye.

Yeah, bad idea.

That's like me making tacos last night, cutting up the halapenos and then having to wipe my face.

Shannon, you're crying in your your tacos.

I'll be more salty tears that.

Or you cut an onion and you're chopping that thing up up and you just start randomly crying.

Shannon.

Yeah, but I don't think you would know anything about that.

You don't do a ton of cooking.

No, we're crying.

Somebody suggested that we're talking about like these heated things you can get, how about a heat it vest?

Did you know there are things that you can get that are vests that are basically heat it by a battery pack.

I didn't put it together until you said it during the break.

I looked it up, and it looks like a George Forman grill.

Honestly, it looks like you can put some patties on that vest.

Yeah, well, stay warm and have your dinner right there, all at once.

That's a good multitask.

I don't know about that.

I don't know.

He's got to cook it.

If you get a meat thermometer and we can check all the bases there.

It is Kentucky versus Texas tonight, and there will be a ton of true blue, big Blue Nation fans at the game tonight.

Will Stein, during his press conference the other day, said that he was the biggest men's basketball fan there is when it comes to Kentucky.

He went to Tubby Smith's camp back in the day.

He won the free throw contest, he won a contest called like the hot shot on test.

Calls himself the biggest Kentucky men's basketball fan in the country, and Shannon the dude doesn't believe it.

No, I'm throwing the flag on it.

Look, we have the greatest fan base in the history of sports, all right, we do.

You're not gonna convince me that will Stein is the biggest Kentucky basketball fan I'll ever meet.

I don't believe that he's not going to come out here and be dressed up and like, you know, covered in blue paint and like some of these crazy fanatics.

You know, fan is short for fanatic, and he may be a big fan, but you're not gonna convince me he's a bigger fan than some of even the KSR listeners, like even like John Short, all right, he is not a bigger fan than John Short.

John Short has been listening to games for his entire life, which is longer than will Stein's been around.

So you can't convince me that he's a bigger fan than John Short.

I don't think John's ever missed a game.

No, he can tell you just the score of each game from way back in the day.

I mean, he is maybe the biggest Kentucky fan there is.

And he is on the phone line right now.

What's up, John?

How are you?

Let's prefer biggest night and tomorrow night.

John, sure you are a bigger fan than will Stein?

Right, you agree?

I know that?

Yeah?

You see, I got John on my side.

John knows he is a bigger fan than will Stein is of Kentucky basketball.

Guarantee it.

Yep.

Everyone went to like that team because I think everybody's said up for Kentucky and that one, but everybody can sit up for Kentucky.

We need that, John, We need all these guys to play well going into the NCAA tournament and SEC play.

You know, I bet you will.

Steins thought Kentucky's gonna lose a basketball game before in the passion and I don't think John's ever predicted a law.

That's right.

John has never ever picked Kentucky to lose?

Is that right?

John?

That's correct because I started falling and takeing basketball when Jake Gambons James Lee were all singers seventy eight season.

That's where I started Kentucky palling.

You take a bad stuf football year later?

There you go.

Do you think that Will Stein's fandom goes back to seventy seven born?

No, I don't think so.

No, No, he.

Wasn't like you said, said we had tenon one record, all the Baylor the second game of the season, really need a Southeastern Conference in nineteen seventy seven.

See, there you go.

Will Stan didn't know that fact.

I mean that was more in eighty nine.

So I mean we're talking about a decade of Kentucky knowledge before he was even born.

Shan will John short when he needs a good answer on Kentucky basketball.

Yes, and like you said, make before six and one that real?

But the season time was South Carolina.

Yeah you know, do you think Will Stein?

No, Will didn't know.

Coach Don didn't know that.

I don't care if it was a hot shot challenge winner.

He ain't got the time went to number one canon.

Yeah, I think you've turned me Shannon.

I think.

We're gonna be Tan mar Night Tam Bigans too.

When that game of Tam Bigans soon to Marrow at six thirty game tomorrow night.

That's right, John, the UK women will take on Tennessee tomorrow.

Let's keep that momentum going against Tennessee.

After the men got the big win.

I bet coach Don didn't even know there was a game tomorrow night.

Oh stop, Okay, we can't get this pretty sick does yeh?

We appreciate you, John, And also our baseball begin next and I still think it'd be April three, July favorite through May.

I'm with you on that.

As a former college baseball player, February is way too early to be playing baseball.

Thanks for the college, John, good to hear you on.

Yeah.

I remember going and speaking of hot hands, like we had those things loaded up, especially for pitchers that were sitting in the bullpen.

Oh yeah, you're you're not moving, You're you're just.

Sitting there for hours on end watching the game and you're just trying to stay warm.

So yeah, hot hands were a big part of my college baseball career.

Yeah, well, while the cold weather's stunk in baseball, I did kind of like rain outs and rain delays just because of the weird antics we'd get into.

I hated putting the tarp on the field like ye, the back and forth between the dugouts, Shannon.

We never did that.

Never did that.

No, Like, were you right a message on the ball and you throw it over to the dun or something.

Like trying to balance a bad head or something like that.

Yeah, just trying to pass the time.

Kids don't get bored anymore, Shannon.

That's probably part of the problem.

They just go on their phone.

Yeah, this is not if any plan radio here.

I don't want to screamer.

Kids don't get bored anymore.

Let's talk about somebody that's not a kid anymore, and that's Simon Cowell Shannon, the American Idol judge.

You've probably seen him or at least heard of him in the past.

Has been big in the music industry.

He has a six hundred million dollar fortune, but recently he says he doesn't believe in passing down his money to his son, doesn't believe in inheritance.

He said he'll set up a college fund for his son and pay through for college fully, but will not give him any of his six hundred million dollar fortune.

He says he's going to donate it all to charities for either children or dogs.

Hmmm, well, I mean, I don't really know if I can say anything bad about the guy because he's don't a going to get to charity.

But man, could you imagine being the sun?

I can't.

So that's kind of where I put myself in this.

Like, let's say I'm a good son, right, I'm not a brat spoiled brat.

I have a job.

I kind of make my own way.

I'm not saying I expect to be handed six hundred million dollars, Shannon, Can you.

Give me at least one?

Yeah?

Like, do you hate me that much?

Dad?

Or is it?

Do you think Shannon?

Like, I want you to make your own way.

I don't want you to be given, you know, all this money, so you rest on your laurels and you don't like have this I don't know grind mentality that other people.

I don't know.

Man, if you got that kind of money, A million dollars is like giving your son a twenty dollars bill.

You want to be given that six hundred million.

How about you like set up your grandchildren, right, that's fun for them.

Exactly, It's generational wealth right there.

I just feel like he's taking it a little too far.

I get this sentiment of like, I want you to be your own man.

But Shannon, I feel like, I mean, you're I don't know if you're setting them up for failure, but I guess you're just letting them learn the hard way.

And sometimes that's what you have to do with children, right, is let them put their hand on a hot surface and then they know not to do it again or something like that.

Yeah, something like that.

But like six hundred million dollars that could save like every puppy in the world.

I feel like, right, you know, like that'll put Sarah mclaughlan's little sad commercial that runs on AMC at midnight showing all these sad puppy dogs that are being abused.

Six hundred million dollars, I feel like would take care of all those We could just adopt all those animals.

If he wants to go all in on the dogs, then yeah, we could save a lot of puppies, right, But not Simon Cowell's son.

He's gonna have to do it his own way.

Simon calls, son's going to be on that commercial with sad eyes.

So you can donate just two dollars a day to save Simon cow.

Penny a day could help me, not the starving.

Dollars place, replace the dogs on the commercial with Simon calson.

You can buy me handwharpers so I could stay warm with this snow coming this weekend.

Oh God, and the arms of an angel.

Right, So, Simon cow tough on the singers and American Idol, but also tough on his son.

Not going to hand down is inheritance.

And let's talk about another older celebrity, Shannon.

Some randomness here on the pre show.

William Shatner is ninety four years old.

To ease it a little bit, he was photographed by TMZ eating a bowl of cereal while driving in his suv earlier this week.

That is scary.

First of all, he's ninety four and still driving, still driving, that's impressive, But eating a bowl of cereal while he's going down the road.

Well, now that he was at the stop line, I don't care photographed.

I don't care if he's at a stop lit.

That means he has to have a bowl a gallon of milk in his car, or at least half gallon ers some carton of milk, right, and then taking toward.

The milk before he got in the car, like maybe that was out of the fridge.

Oh so you think William Shatner is walking out of his house with a bowl of cereal and then gets in his car and then drives.

You're not even think he's combining the cereal and the milk in the car.

I don't think he knows what.

Yes, I think he's like, yeah, he's probably got to a George Forman grill.

He's plugging into a cigarette lighter, like doing like a steak over there for like, yeah, a traveling restaurant in his car.

Okay, that is frightening.

You know, you think that there's a lot of bad drivers out there.

Then you look over there's a ninety four year old man eating a bowl of cereal driving down the road, Like, get me away from that guy.

He's going to run into somebody.

It had this bowl in the spoon too.

Yeah, right at the stoplight is I think pretty jarring.

I guess if you made it to ninety four, Like you're not really worried about life too much.

Like you know, if you're driving down the road ninety miles an hour eating a bowl of cereal, if that's the way you go out of the world, then you know, so so be it.

It's my life.

I'm worried it out here, like I'm on the road too, Like William needs to get off the road with this cereal.

And maybe that's why we've been a proponent for in years pass of retesting some people at a certain age.

Yeah, I mean, you got you should text test your vision and your reflexes.

That seems like common sense, especially for somebody that's ninety four and multitasking by eating cereal.

Yeah exactly.

I mean, look, have I driven a car while eating a burger in the past?

Sure I have guilty of that, right, I think we've all done that.

Yeah, But when it comes to eating a bowl of cereal, that's messy.

It takes coordination.

You know, you have to actively stick a spoon into a bowl to get the milk out.

He's probably hit a bump exactly and milk.

And I've been next to like women before, like at a stop sign, and they're like doing their makeup at the red light.

Dangerous.

That's kind of dangerous too, Yeah, trying to.

Do your lashes.

You don't know if the stern green or not.

Curling your hair at the red light.

But what are you doing?

Buckle up?

Put your phone down?

Will you buckle up?

Put your phone down?

I think a lot of people just have their phone in their hand a lot of the times now when they drive.

I get it for GPS, But like, you don't need to be on TikTok or Twitter.

You're eating your lucky charms going down the highway?

Are you're raising brand?

So?

What was your favorite cereal?

I haven't eaten cereal and sold it's easy.

It's cinnamon toast crunch.

Oh that's a good one.

That's a good one.

Years of eating some cinnamon toast crunch on my resume.

I was a big fan of lucky charms.

Lucky charms are good too.

Yeah.

You can buy just the marshmallows too, if that's kind of your thing.

It kind of defeats the purpose of the suit, right it's just marshmallows then well.

Yeah, but people, you know, they just take it to a different level and you're like, I just want the marshmallows.

I just want the green em and ms in.

Like if you said to me right now, I will make you a bowl of cereal.

You can have any cereal you want.

I don't even know what.

I would pick.

Really, it's that open for you.

Yeah, I mean I could like maybe like.

Count Chocola that's good, to something like booberry.

Yeah, what was the strawberry one?

I don't know anyway, William Shatner.

Yeah, God blessom, put the ball down, William.

Let's take a call before we go to our next up next?

Hey what he.

Yeah?

Yeah?

Yeah that lamb lamb between the lakes.

He had a house he bought was on the I do the Poor and Miles so.

And he bought his big rock his wife wanted and I and I went with him and we unloaded it at his house.

And now that's been years ago that he's divorce and I don't think he lived at her no more.

And I made a rock, just a big rock.

Yeah, it was a grind.

It was out of an old medal, one of them rocks that they grind flyer corn with him to make flyer but uh.

And I ate a blonie sandwich with Hank William Junior down there.

He hunts down there a lot.

And you ate a blooney sandwich with WILLIAMS Jr.

And help William have lived a life forth living right there.

See how you do it when you sit with these famous people, You look over at him and uh, you kind of hum one of their songs and you say, you know what you look like, Hank William Juniors and that man I met, uh, the guy in Oklahoma that passed away from cancer.

What's his name?

Uh?

That passed away from cancer unfortunately.

No, he just here recently last drive, thank you.

Uh.

I was out of rest and met him in the bathroom o'clock in the morning.

Are you talking about Toby Keith?

Yeah, yeah, you met Toby Keith.

I met him in the bathroom at a.

Bathroom at three o'clock in the morning.

Yeah.

And I looked over at him and I started humming, that's my car and that's my three in my yard that song, and he started humming it, and I told him as I was leaving, I said, man, keep the day job.

I don't think he's gonna make it in singing.

And when I got we got back to my vehicle, his bus went by and he waved.

That what do you think about?

You know?

I mean, I wish I half the life of what he's at at this point.

Right, Oh my god, I met him all my friends all right, day, we have more time.

I want to hear more.

Yeah, can I ask you one more thing?

Real quick?

Go ahead, go ahead?

Oh okay.

Kentucky and Louisville, you know they make I got a lot of money in sports and nine Why don't they share it with all the other little schools in Kentucky?

And I'll tell you why they should.

Why is that.

Green Bay Packers?

All the NFL teams have got to give Green Bay Packers money.

Look it up, they've stopped it now.

Okay, I didn't know that.

All right, what do you green Bay?

Just the road?

Thank you God, tell Shatner.

We said, hello, the next celebrity exactly.

H I didn't know the Packers get money from every single at their NFL team?

Did you know that?

As a Packers fan?

Do no, is that even true?

I don't know.

We'll research it during the break of the NFL.

I'll try to find an answer.

We'll be right back A five two two eight seven if you'd like to join the show.

One segment remaining here on the KSR Pre Show.

Welcome back our final segment of the KSR Pre Show.

Oh how nice it would be to have William Shatner's rock at your house.

I don't think I want it.

Do you think it's like chained up like chain rock?

Yeah, like the chain rock.

I mean, you got to keep that thing where it's at.

Yeah, I don't know.

I don't know.

That last caller, it was a lot.

That was a lot going on there.

There was We don't have a ton of time.

Let's just try to take some calls for the shows over Shannonho's up.

Let's go to John real quick.

Hey, John, Hey, John, Hey this.

John and frankfort I worked at John's Run Walk shopping in Lexington for twenty five years and William Shatner came in and looking for some good running shoes.

You know, if they're good for running, they're great for walking.

Well, I measured them up.

He came in with a size nine.

They were tight as heck, and he measured a ten and a half.

I put him in an eleven.

Man.

They felt fine, wow, And I said, what do you want to want to do with these shoes?

He said, oh, you can have them.

I said, well, I'll put them on eBay.

Well, they went to the back of the store.

They sat there for a while.

I think they went to the whole Center downtown.

Well, there you go.

What he was real nice.

Yeah.

The bigger takeaway though, is that William Shatner doesn't even know his own shoe size and was wearing shoes that were two sizes too small.

That's that's a big difference.

Yeah, all right, Oh he was really nice.

There we go.

All right, okay, thank you, John, And we're talking like curled up toes.

How do you jam a size eleven foot and a nine sized shoe?

My guy was breathing for the first time of his life when he got wow.

Okay, Uh, Paul is up next?

What's up?

Paul?

Hey, good morning.

Hey.

Guys were talking about a little while ago about people driving with women at the stops time maybe putting on makeup.

So the trivia word for the day is that's actually The archaic word for that is called farder f A R D E R.

So.

I used to listen to Rush Limbaugh way back in the day and he said that he we saw a woman's party next to him in the car.

All right, thanks to the call, Paul.

But is that an attempt at humor?

I'm not sure.

I mean, did you live?

I didn't, but I know you put You're the one that puts on your lashes in the car window.

Oh yeah, that's right.

I mean I thought you might have a little bit.

That's why it took me so long to get here this morning.

Yeah.

Well, the boys are having a tough time getting to the bar this morning, it sounds like, so hopefully they can make it there on time.

We still got a show to do, so let's get there.

It's no excuses, and we got drafting ads to do.

Yeah we do.

Hey, Draft Kings sportsbook.

Got the NFL playoffs coming up?

You got the Cats tonight.

What's the points, bread, Billy?

You're spo six and a half, six and a half, six and a howl.

That's a little high, don't you think, ma If you want to bet that on DraftKings, if you're a new customer sign up with the promo code KSR.

You bet five dollars.

If that bet hits, you get three hundred dollars in bonus bets.

Plus you get early exit protection if your player goes down on your player prop with an injury.

Uh, they're going to refund you if it happens in the first half.

It's only on draft.

The crown is yours.

Just got an email that the professional bull Riders are going to be coming back to repp Aerna Shannon and I think we enjoyed when we had a bull rider on.

Do you think we would want to do that again?

Sure?

Yeah, Usually those guys have big personalities, they're great for radio, so yeah, we'll bring one on.

I mean, they can take some of the most gruesome hits too and just get right.

I actually rather talk to the rodeo clowns because that's the most unappreciated part of the show, the clown that has to go out there and save the bull rider from getting gourd.

Yeah, look at me, Yeah at me.

Yeah, let's get a clown on here.

Other than Billy, we get clowns every day.

You want to end the show like that, clowns to the left of me jokers to the right.

That's right.
