Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre Show.

Today is Friday, January twenty third.

I'm Billy Rutledge along with Shannon the Dude.

Give us calling the Clark's Pumping Shot phone line.

That's eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven, Texas at the Quantrell Auto Group text line at five oh two two sixty five six six five six, And we are live on location on a Friday once again.

We made a drive to Campbellsville where we were at Don Franklin.

We're twenty nine stores and over six thousand vehicles across the Bluegrass and we're at another one here in Campbellsville.

Shannon the Dude is alongside.

Good morning, Shannon, how are you doing well.

I'm seeing some big trucks that would be uh probably well served when it comes for this big storm this weekend driving through the snow and the ice.

So if you need a new truck for the weekend, and I guess just you know you wouldn't just get a truck just for two days, but if you need one just for a life, come out to Don Franklin today in Campbellsville.

You're preaching to the choir.

My dodge charge over.

There isn't going to go anywhere after the snow comes.

Now, Yeah, that thing needs to stay home.

You will be string the police what to come get you.

You're gonna be embarrassed.

You don't want that to happen.

No, I don't.

I get embarrassed enough anyway.

So you know, it's championship weekend in the NFL.

We've got a Kentucky basketball game with a new start time on Saturday.

But Shannon, all we're thinking about right now is not only the snow that's coming, but also this weatherman challenge that we're doing on KSR.

You guys are killing it right now with the social media.

Yeah, this entire time contact.

I can't wait.

You know, we had just about everybody that we asked locally except for one in Louisville.

We won't say any names.

We refuse to be a part of this meteorologist challenge.

And late last night, I don't know if you saw this, but we even got Jim Cantori from the Weather Channel.

So how about that We're able to pull in a guy from the Weather channel legendary broadcast.

We probably could have gotten out Roker, but we can't get one local meteorologist to get on board with the charity.

But nonetheless I'm looking forward to it, and we'll get their predictions later on today.

They have to be in by eleven thirty this morning, so we have everybody on a record and we'll see what happened.

I mean, like, I have no Doppler radar or nothing.

Do you just want to go ahead and take like our predictions as to how much snow we're actually going to get?

Well, I mean, I've seen a lot of different estimates, so that's why I'm really interested to see at eleven thirty kind of the range that we're gonna have.

I'm gonna guess like fourteen to fifteen inches.

Shann oh, yeah, you gotta go.

He can't be fourteen to fifteen.

You gotta go exactly to the tea.

I will go fourteen inches, exactly, fourteen inches in exactly the lexing Yes for Loisvoll I'm gonna go thirteen point one.

Okay, thirteen point This.

Isn't prices, right, so yeah, I mean if it goes over, it's still gonna be closer.

Yeah, whoever comes closest.

It doesn't matter if you go over or not.

Well, I went down a little Jim Cantore rabbit hole after I saw he was going to be on the contest.

And this guy rocks.

I mean he's going out to the biggest storms and just standing in the middle of it, like when everybody the wind's blowing him sideways, or a college kids runs up to him, he knees him in the nuts as he tries to do it away, Like there's just this guy's I don't know, kind of a badass of the weather.

Well you say is a badass, and he does travel like we're to hurt canes are and everything else.

But there is one video I think it was him, and I hate to throw shade on the guy he's being a part of this KSR weather competition, but I believe there's a video that was viral years ago where he is standing, according to him, in the middle of a hurricane and he's kind of bracing, you know, like he's about to fall over if he doesn't brace.

And then meanwhile in the background you see two people just casually walking in the background, like no big deal.

But I think he plays it up maybe a little bit for the camera, but you know what, regardless, glad to have him as a part of the KSR Weather Challenge.

Yeah, don't tell me it's not real, damn it.

Yeah, I mean, like, don't ruin the illusion for me.

I believe the camera man for not getting a tighter shot on Jim Cantorre exact, Like, we don't need to see the people walking in the background exposing that it's not nearly as bad as he's acting like it is.

As long as he didn't fart on camera, I think he'll be fine, He'll be able to live it down.

But I mean, I'm excited.

We've got Chris Bailey in it the hall, y'all.

Guy.

I mean, he's going to prove some people wrong with his information that he can do inside.

So looking forward to this one.

So we need to run through it here.

So Jim Cantorre as we met Chris Bailey, wk YT, Bill Mack from Lex eighteen TG thunder Shuck, who is going to be a part of this.

I didn't know he was still on the air.

Kevin Harnett from Wave three in Louisville, Justin Logan from Fox fifty six, j Cardosi from Woky and Louisbell, Mallory Schnell who we were trying to get she agreed to be a part of this.

She's the one woman, she's representing all of women women in this competition.

Ryan Hall, y'all, the internet meteorologist Jim Caldwell who's coming out of retirement.

And then Captain Reid Yayden, another Louibell legend.

So there you go.

That's the rundown in the lineup.

And Mario even has the was it Mario that posted this graphic that has the odds?

No Jay and Linden, Oh, Jay and Linden.

I believe who's been doing that stuff?

And so big thank you to him for putting that out.

Maybe like an exacta box or a trifecta, you know, go through the whole betting slip today.

So who would you pick, like if you said, like, who is going to nail this thing down?

Now?

They I think the rules are they have to guess both Louibell and Lexington combined.

Oh okay, so well we're tying it all in together.

You know, Cantory is the favor here plus three ten in the latest odds.

Yeah, but like I don't know, yeah, is he dialed in locally exactly?

He doesn't know the local things that like, like our meteorologists doing Lexington and Louisville.

Yeah, so I don't know, Like I feel like I'm gonna be very biased in my pick here.

I might go either Chris Bailey because I love what he does online not only sharing everybody's photos, but yelling at referees during a basketball games.

And then h Jay Cardosi I've actually worked a lot with in Louisville.

Yeah, he's our official weather guy when it comes to Terry Miner shows.

Like he seems like I don't know the lexton to meteorologists as much, but Jay Cardosi and I've never met the guy, I never talked to him.

It seems to be like the most likable out of most of these meteorologists.

Now the other people may be great people too, but I'm just saying like, as far as they're on screen persona, the way they tell me the weather, he seems to do it in the most nice way possible.

Yeah, What's Jay Say?

Is a great catchphrase?

Right?

Yeah?

How do you not like a guy that has a catch phrase of what's Jason?

That's phrases can take you a long way.

Yeah, So you know we're gonna have a lot of fun with this again, Matt and the guys will talk more about it today and at eleven thirty will get the all of the predictions.

But this is also like a weekend that you need to be alert.

There is a lot of serious weather on the way.

Check on your neighbors, make sure your pets are inside.

I mean, Shannon, while we are having fun with the weather thing, it is something that's going to ultimately impact us for the next couple of weeks.

I've heard about your neighbors.

Your neighbors, and you had some beef about not cutting the grass at one point, right, So do you still go over and check on the neighbor?

Are you good with the neighbor now?

Do you care if the neighbors freezeer or well?

I got one neighbor that's very friendly, has already been talking to me about like did you undo the hose from your house and things like that.

You can walk over have some bourbon with me in the garage, which I think we might do at some point if I can make it over I need.

It's the other neighbor that I just don't talk to.

We exchange glances, Shannon, and I think that's pretty normal.

You do not require to know every neighbor you have, but you want to be neighborly and friendly.

So when you go buy and check and say, hey, everything good over here, you're gonna check in?

I should Well, you just told everybody they need to do it, and you can't get on the radio and tell everybody else.

You're not gonna let yourself have like a friendly elderly couple in your neighborhood that you would want to check on somebody that you know maybe.

So if you're not friendly with them, then I mean, to hell with them, then right, check on who you want.

I mean, I don't know if I'm gonna check on maybe that neighbor.

I might check on a different neighbor.

But you know, this is ultimately something that you know, people can get trapped and where they live, right, I mean, there can be a lot of different circumstances that happens.

Just say weather aware and safe.

Have you already made.

The trip to your grocery store, Like where there's empty shelves?

We have, But that's a little like I mean dramatized.

I think like the shelves were not bear Maybe it's today where the panic will set in and people will be walking out with toilet paper under both arms Like this, I've always wonder like people stuck up like four cases of toilet paper.

What do you plan on doing?

Just sitting at home and like staying in the athroom time the whole time?

Or yeah, like the mir relax that I got to take over the weekend for all this toilet paper.

But what do what would you get at the grocery shore, Shannon, what are some things that the average person should get?

But I don't know about the average person.

We've talked about what I get, Like everybody else gets bread and milk, I see, give me beer, give me frozen pizza.

Like if I can just sit home and watch If I could sit home this weekend, not leave my house and just drink beer and watch games, that's a good weekend.

Like I want that.

Now I have an excuse to stay home.

Normally I'm so busy and on the go.

I can't do that because I've got to be driving around.

If I have no reason to leave my house, then that's that's the perfect weekend for me.

So load up on Shannon the Dude's brew and some pizza and I'm ready to go.

Well, make sure you charge your phones and maybe some power banks that you have, or maybe get some candles.

Shannon, You're gonna need some lights if you lose power.

But we know Matt won't have any problem with that, Like he's gonna be lit up like New York City with all the candles that he has in his house.

Yeah, but if the smoke detector starts going off and may have to door dash some batteriesh and so Yep, it's all in good fun.

Before we start talking about Kentucky and things going on this weekend.

We are here in Campbellsville, and as soon as I get to the remote Shannon, the dude goes, you want to jump in the car.

We're going to Druthers get some breakfast.

It's like Druthers.

I've never been to Druthers.

Let's go to Drivers.

You know what it is, he said, Is it a pharmacy.

Now here's the thing.

Like, first of all, when you go to small towns in Kentucky, occasionally you run upon things that don't exist in the world otherwise.

And as a kid growing up in Bullet County, we had a Druthers.

Love Druthers, great little restaurant you go in there and grab yourself a burger for lunch or dinner.

If you want to go on for breakfast, you can go in there and get you anything you want.

It was, you know, great food, great memories as a kid.

And I was looking around and trying to figure out what I was going to have for lunch after the show, and I realized on the way here, they have the only Druthers that still exist on planet Earth, only one right here in Campbellsville.

And when you and I just drove up there a few minutes ago, it's evident it's the only one because you can't even get in the door.

It is out the door.

We had the very last parking spot that we took, and Drugs is the most happening place in Campbellsville.

Like, if I don't even know why you guys are here, why aren't you down a Druthers.

No, I'm just kidding, but you know, I assume those people will be coming down here later.

But it was packed in there.

I couldn't believe how many people were at Drugs.

I guess that's what everybody.

Does, right.

Well, we thought we were gonna go to get in, get out right, maybe just grab a sandwich and then get back here.

That was not the case.

We didn't have time to eat.

To be fair, I thought it was a gas station, like something just quick and easy go in, but no, this is a full on fast food chain that there's only one left.

It's almost like Pechee.

I really wanted like a sausage biscuit sandwich, you know, before the show.

But then I had to make the executive decision do I sit here in this line and possibly risk being late for the show, or do we come back?

And we just decided we have to come back because there were just too many peoples.

We could have called in and done it from the Druthers.

I guess we could have.

I guess made it over in a commercial.

But if anybody's listening over at Druthers and wants to bring me a sausage biscuit, I would really appreciate that.

Talk about it.

I'm just saying, like, let's go to the last Druthers in the world, and I can't.

Here's the problem.

Here's the problem.

Like by the time we get off there at noon, they're gonna switch over to lunch, so then I can't get my sausage biscuit.

Now, it's gonna be you know, it's gonna be a Burger instep, which is okay.

I'll go for lunch too if I have to, But it is it's rocking over there today, isn't not?

It was packed.

I mean, if they were sixty seats, there were eighty, like seventy people there.

Yeah, yeah, So maybe looking forward to trying that a little later today.

Tomorrow Kentucky will take on Ole Miss.

But we got the news yesterday that the game's tip time will be moved up an hour.

It will be eleven am now when Travis Perry and the Rebels come to rapp Arena and Shannon probably the right move, right, I mean, just to give people even more time to get home before the snow events start.

I'm not exactly sure on the timing of this.

I guess it depends on which weather man you actually believe, but right, yeah, I wouldn't hurt, I don't guess, as long as it works out with TV, and I guess they've worked that out as well.

Is it an SEC network game tomorrow?

I think it's on I thought it was on ESPN.

I'd had to double check, but they said like it will still be on TV.

All tickets will still be valid obviously.

So it was a you know, there was an eleven AM game I think last year Kentucky versus Florida, which was an exciting one.

So here's the thing though, Before we get into the game itself, you have to stick around and do the post game show, which means, you know the game's over by one o'clock, you're gonna be there until what three?

Yeah, yeah, that's about right, three thirty four o'clock.

I mean you gotta think games take two two and a half hours and then like an hour and ten for each post game.

So so then are you possibly going to be stuck at the studios?

What I want to do?

Well, I was if they weren't going to move it up an hour, I think that's gonna really help me get out of there that one hour.

Huh.

Well, I'm taking the station vehicle too.

That thing ain't good in anywhere, So we're gonna go the the four wheel drive WLAP vehicle to get myself out of there, Shannon, because I did not know what I was gonna do.

I mean, I was talking to Officer Don about helicopter and me out of there.

Well, it seems a bit excessive, don't.

Well, when you got a pilot we got, it's a snowstorm, it's not an appalanche coming.

I mean, important personnel's got to get to work and get home.

But yeah, yeah, well, what are you gonna do?

I mean you want to go on?

We mean, what am I gonna do?

I'm going home?

Well, you got you gotta get to work on Monday, Shannon, And arguably that's I mean, how are you gonna get from your house to the studio?

Don't know, We'll see.

Just tune in Monday and we'll see.

I mean, if we got to get on the air somehow, So essentral personnel like Shannon the Dude and Billy are spots only got to come in hell or high water.

I think you live somewhat close to the station, don't you.

It's like fifteen twenty manus Okay, yeah, on like forty minutes and if it snows, it'll be like an hour and a half getting in.

So, uh, you may be running the show on Monday from Lexington.

So if we can do that, well we better figure it out.

I guess so.

Uh eight five nine two two two eight seven Texas five oh two two six five six six five six, We've got a lot to talk about.

We'll talk more about Kentucky and Ole Miss and maybe what Kentucky's gonna do without Cam Williams.

I mean a We're gonna see a lot more Trent Noah.

You guys talked a lot about Dink yesterday as well, So Dink Pate.

I saw PAULA Check interviewed him.

Yeah, he had some comments as well.

I saw also this reported that there would be a ninety five percent chance that he would be led to play.

So, I mean, we saw what Alabama's doing with the G League player.

Here's the thing.

If they can do it, why can't we Anybody could do it.

I don't think that we'd be willing to take that chance because we're afraid of what the consequences might be.

But I think at this point, you know, if you haven't learned anything from the NCUBA over the last several years, you just do what you want and ask for forgiveness later.

Do you do it?

If there's a chance that they could vacate their wins at a later date.

I don't think they're going to do that.

I feel like those days are over.

It's the wild West.

Now you got the transfer portal just completely out of control.

Guys leaving and going wherever they want, coming in whenever they want.

Yeah, I feel like there are no rules anymore.

Were as strict as the NCUBA was not even that long ago.

Once Nil took over.

I feel like there's just no rules and the NCUALEA is just kind of sitting back, going up whatever.

There's still a risk though, it seems like, but we'll see it.

Well, we'll just do what everybody else does.

Just sue the nc DOUBLEA.

You'll win in court and then it get gets thrown out.

Some people that's what they do.

They just sue if they don't get their way.

Maybe that's that's what we would do.

But we need to take a break.

We'll be right back.

We're live in Campbellsville here at Don Franklin here on the KSR pre Show.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back to the KSR pre Show, live at Don Franklin here in Campbellsville, Kentucky.

Oh there you go, little applause there, coming back.

Good crowd here in Campbellsville, where we didn't get drugs, but we might get a little later.

You can text us at five o two two six five six six five six.

That's the Quantrelle Auto text line.

I've got a couple of comments here for you, Shannon.

One person says the Weather Channel meteorologist mentioned that struggled in the hurricane wins wasn't Cantore or Katore, it was Mike Sieedele.

Okay, so my apologies for that video, but I found another video.

I'm gonna want up you here because there is a Jim Cantore video of him and Hurricane Ida, and there's a man behind him doing cartwheels as he is struggling.

As Jim cantorere is supposedly allegedly struggling to stand up on his own two feet, there's a guy behind him doing cart So it's not just.

One person doing I think they all do this well.

I mean they have to do like the stance you have to brace like they're about to fall over from the wind.

Well, like, let's say they ship you to a different state for like to report on these wins in this weather and you're just standing there like nothing's going on.

It's just I guess it's not the effect they want on TV.

At Shannon the Dude on Twitter Kentucky ya Ya says, And why would I not believe somebody named Kentucky ya Ya says.

Druthers has chocolate gravy on Friday, chocolate gravy.

I have never had chocolate gravy.

Is that true?

They're shaking their head.

Yes, it's Truecolate, They're not in their head, So we gotta have the chocolate gravy.

After we had one person say that they serve breakfast all day ed Ruthers, So, I mean right here, Yeah, so you're good to go.

Chocolate gravy, sausage, biscuits.

Yeah, it sounds like you're gonna be able to get the fixings.

One person also said Ryan Hall y'all has a catchphrase too.

His is don't be scared.

Be prepared.

I feel like Ryan Hall y'all is good enough for a catchphrase.

I mean it's yeah, it's catchy, isn't it.

Don't be scared, be prepared?

Yeah all right, I like, I'm not scared scared.

I'm not scared, even though Mario says, I'm not gonna need a helicopter to get out of there.

The world is not ending.

Thank you, Mario.

I appreciate that.

Look, what are the chances that's not nearly as bad as what they're even saying.

Oh wow, well, I don't know, what do we get like five inches of snow and you know that's a lot, that's a lot, but it's not a foot and a half, you know, I mean that would.

Be that'd be a tough look for all these weather guys that are going to predict on the record, Well, look these double digit snowfall.

I do respect the guys, the meteorologists who are on local weather channels who have agreed to do this because they are putting their reputation out there and it is for fun.

It's for charity, right right.

But I mean, imagine if some of these guys that are on local channels get showed up by some guy on the internet and he ends up winning this contest, it does put your credibility a little bit at risk.

So I applaud at least the ones who have signed up to actually do this.

No, I do think it's good pr for everybody involved in this, just to have a little bit of fun with this and do it.

For a good cause.

Now, speaking of Mario, he is one of the candidates for Influencer of the Year when it comes to the city of Lexing.

How about that.

I mean our guy Mario, he's great, he is doing great things.

But then we go along to the best radio personalities in Lexington.

Yeah, and Matt is one of them, Drew is one of them, and our guy Shannon the dude is up for this award yet doesn't live in Lexington.

Didn't say you had to live in Lexington, said you're on the air in Lexington.

I don't know what part of this you don't understand, Like, I don't like this.

I am on in Lexington.

I am on really, I'm on everywhere.

I mean, if you pull up the iHeartRadio app that could be on in Asia right now.

Well, yeah, so that's my point.

Asian Personality of the Year right here.

You're based in Louisville.

Where's the way I look at You want the.

Louisville Radio Award.

Let's go ahead and give it to Shannon.

I think we should.

I don't know why the Lexington Award you're getting represented.

You sound a little salty because your name wasn't I did you sound salty?

You know what, Here's the thing.

I don't care if I want this thing or not.

I've already got the world heavyweight radio title.

I think that basically he settles it right there.

I mean I'm the only one with the championship belt for being on the radio.

Yeah, I could go to Walmart.

So yeah, yeah, we'll go ahead get you one.

But yeah, we are on there along with several others as well.

So if you want to vote, I guess go vote.

But I don't know what do you get a trophy if you win this?

I'm not sure.

I don't know.

I'm sure you will take a victory lap though, if you were to win that one.

We can't let.

Shannon win this one, though, Like, you're not gonna vote for.

Me, I'll vote for our guys here in Lexico.

No, no, no, no, okay, Now, if you're gonna cast a vote, yeah, there's like twelve of us on there.

Yeah you're gonna vote, well, I can only do one vote, right, only one vote?

Yeah.

Now you're gonna look at me right here, your pre show host.

Who I was just about to take you to Druthers and give you the breakfast of a lifetime.

I was gonna do that, like you know, like that's how much your friendship means to me.

I was gonna buy you a sausage and biscuit.

Then you're gonna look at me right now and tell me that you wouldn't vote for me.

For persons, I'm not sure who i'd vote for.

That is a cop out.

I'd have to like weigh the everybody.

Drew's had a great year.

Yeah, Matt's doing great.

But I'm your friends, I'm your friend.

You guys, you're all my friends.

Who does appreciate with you every day?

Oh?

Because you have to?

I mean that's true, that's true.

I have to fight.

Oh two two eight seven.

I believe I don't have your vote, well not yet, I mean, but I mean it sounds like the voting is just wrong.

I mean, if it's Lexington Base, well, okay.

The drugs is off the table.

I was gonna buy your launch now I'm not.

I'm not buying.

I'm not buying your vote now.

No chocolate gravy for me.

I gotta pay for it myself.

Yeah, that's the thing.

I love this, this move you do like, Oh, yeah, I'm gonna go.

We're gonna jump in the car.

We're gonna go to Druthers.

Oh, I forgot my wallet.

I don't have my wallet.

Yeah, I didn't have my plastic move you don't have your wallet?

No, it's uh, it's in the car.

It's it's I got a castands A wallet right now because I one't got a real ID right because I've got to make it to San Francisco.

Hopefully this this snow doesn't hold up the real ID from coming.

But yeah, I put it in my car because I've got the castands A wallet right now.

Shannon, Well, here's the thing.

You're not going to need that wallet, or you're gonna need your wallet, but you're not gonna need your I D necessarily to drive because you guys will be dry stop to California when the Denver Broncos make the Super Bowl and Ryan Lemon is going to be going with you guys.

So I don't know why you're worried about a passport.

You won't even need it.

You're going to be driving out there.

I cannot believe this is even an option.

No, it is.

It's going to happen now, you know that, right, That's how this thing works.

Broncos are the one seed against the Patriots, but if a backup quarterback that hasn't thrown a pass in two years wins that game, so that we have to drive to San Francisco steid a fly.

I might lose.

It's the ultimate KSR curse.

I could see that happening.

I hope it does.

From Corbin, I mean, I guess I'm not rooting for the Broncos this week.

We'll take a break be right back live in don Franklin and Campbellsville here on the KSR pre Show.

Welcome back is the KSR pre Show Live on a Friday.

I'll hand it off to KSR here at ten am.

Until then, it's Billy and Shannon the Dude here at Don Franklin and Campbellsville, where we were just arguing the entire break.

About the voting process of that thing we were talking about.

Well, it's okay, like you kept contradicting yourself.

I was just pointing out your contradictions and it's fine.

It's fine.

Well, still not getting my vote yet, Shannon, but we'll go through the process.

I'll just debate you till you give me your vote.

We are going to take some phone calls here in just a second.

But Shannon and I've got two things that I'm going to be checking in on tonight.

I want to tell you about him though.

Okay, let's go.

The first is something that's happening on Netflix tonight at eight pm.

Alex Honold will climb the tallest skyscraper in Taiwan without a rope or a harness.

Okay, this freaks me out.

This is crazy.

You bring this up because have we ever talked about this?

What?

You know?

I have a hate, like fear of heights, right, sure, So I have looked up on YouTube just out of curiosity these people that are crazy enough to do this, and they're free climbers, right, Like, there's video of a guy like first person.

You can see like he's got the camera strap to his forehead and he just has like somebody drop him off in the middle of town in Chicago and just picks this building and just starts climbing it.

Yeah, and it's amazing to watch.

You're telling me there's a guy who's going to climb the tallest building in Taiwan tonight that's.

One six hundred and sixty seven feet.

He will climb it live on Netflix.

There will be a ten second to last.

You gotta be a casey something goes wrong.

Well yes, I mean it could be over in like ten minutes, a little dump button action for Netflix.

But as they go into let more live sports, this is another thing that they're doing.

Yeah, but like this, if you haven't seen these people climb these skyscrapers without ropes or harnesses, it's it.

Is because they have no care for life at all.

Like one slip and you're dead.

There's no reset button, there's no coming back from falling.

Like it's it's over.

Like once you get past like ten feet, you know you fall, you're dead.

I mean, you see the hands on these guys too, that he's climbing.

It's just it looks completely different than the hands that I have.

I just years of trying.

To say how many feet up it is?

Yeah, the skyscrapers one thousand, six hundred and sixty seven feet tall.

It used to be the tallest building in the world for a short.

Time, And you got my interest.

I'm one of those people that watch it and live y curiously through that video because I know there's no chance I would ever do that, but I'm watching it.

My palms were just sweating watching this person.

Even if I know how it ends, I can't do it.

Well, didn't somebody like can do it in a Spiderman costume in like New York City.

And these were not like playing events.

They had to like call the fire department and the police and like then you get arrested when you get to the top.

But it's still a publicity stunt.

Would you rather climb a skyscraper or go anything else.

Is it called splunking where they go into the caves.

Yeah, you go like really deep where you have to like shivy your body.

That's horrible too.

People die they get stuck in caves because they go in but they can't come out and go.

Upside down and you can't get out of the talk about a horrible way to die.

See, I would rather climb the skyscraper than go and get claustrophobic in the cave.

It's true, it's a slow death versus immediate death.

If you fall from a skyscraper, you're dead immediately after the fall.

If you get stuck in a cave, you might be there for a while.

You might be there for like a few days before you eventually die.

But I think I would take my chances on the cave.

You're going cave at least, I'm actually See some people want to go above ground.

I'm going actually underground.

That's how much I hate heights.

I'm going underground.

Well, another thing with the cave is it's dark.

Like you ever go on a tour Mama Cave or something like that and tour guide turns off their flashlight or something like that.

I went to Waverley Hills.

They got that long tunnel, and that's that kind of darkness we're talking about.

So that's another thing about it.

The other thing I'm watching is a guy that is streaming twenty four to seven on YouTube.

Right, you can look it up right now.

It's called the Isolation Year.

This guy named Skip in like trying to lose weight and reset his mindset.

Shannon has decided to record himself for three hundred and sixty five days twenty four to seven.

Oh wow, a year in isolation.

A year in isolation by himself.

So he's putting himself in prison essentially.

Essentially, Yeah, all he has prison desk and like a yoga mat and a bed.

It almost looks like a prison cell.

But this guy, and here he is right now, Shannon, this is what he's doing at this exact moment.

He's just sitting working on his computer.

Well he's got a computer.

Yeah, it looks like he's okay.

Yeah, a little pull up bar over there so he can work out.

This looks like a guy just on his computer.

But a lot of people stream nowadays.

This guy is going to stream every day for a year by himself.

Okay, small room, no you say he's streaming.

I'm looking at how many people are watching right now.

There's thirty six people.

We got thirty six people watch.

Thirty six people watching this guy.

So apparently you are way more interested in it than everybody else.

Well, maybe so, And maybe I am optimistic that this guy can change his life around and lose some weight.

So he's been in there for twenty what what's the day the twenty third.

Yeah, he's been in there for twenty three days.

Well it says day twelve, and so I don't know if he's got a late start.

Yeah, I don't think he started exactly.

So this is his day twelve stream that he's on right now.

But Shannon, I mean, I hope it works for the guy.

I guess is that accountability that you're streaming.

You're just sitting in a bedroom.

It looks like, you know, if he gets hungry, he can just walk out the door.

I mean, I guess we're all gonna get a taste of this this weekend.

We're gonna be snowed in for a couple of days.

How long do you think you could last not leaving a room in your house a.

Room in my house?

Yes?

Like, how does he get food?

I guess somebody has he's a door dashing or.

Yeah, well I imagine like he can go in the other room and maybe get his door dash.

I think it's about not leaving the house, so he's not gonna shower.

Oh I can't leave the house.

Okay, I think, like, yeah, and not having people over living in isolation, being by your SoLIT didn't we all just do that with COVID a little bit?

Yeah, a little bit.

But I also, you know, jumped on the exox, was able to talk to my friends or you know, be able to FaceTime.

Here's the thing.

That guy is doing this, but nobody seems to care.

Nobody seems to be interested.

Thirty I figured I would get on there and they'd be like, you know, fifty thousand people watching it.

It says, thirty six people are.

What I think the guy's gonna do.

He's just sitting in a room.

Wow, I don't know.

He's trying to better himself a little bit.

He thinks that people are gonna be interested and nobody cares.

Nobody gonna watch it.

I'm interested.

You I was the one watching it.

Yeah, you were one of thirty six people in the whole world watching this guy play on his computer.

Well, maybe he'll get a couple more now that the pre show talked about the pre show bump, he's gonna have seventy two.

Now, everybody here, go on your phone start watching eight five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.

Who is up?

First?

Rick?

What do you have?

Adam of first?

Good morning, Adam?

How are you doing?

I'm all right, Good morning to you gentlemen.

First of all, I'd like to say if personality wise, Shannon the dude definitely got.

My vote, Well, thank you, appreciate that.

Don't cast your vote.

I guess.

I don't know.

I don't even know where to tell you to go.

Just google it, I guess.

And then with the weather thing, you got to go with the og Bill Mack.

He's been doing it so long and he's so passionate about it.

I've run him out to him in town a couple of times, and he literally will give you a forecast right there in front of you, with the hand motions and everything.

See.

I like that again, who does the weather but doesn't take it too seriously?

Yeah, like you know when there's you know, tornadoes or you know, big threats.

I understand that it could be a serious situation.

But some people just take this weather thing so serious that they can't even like joke around and like do things for charity.

And I don't understand that Billy and no ice maps.

Don't show me an ice map.

Yeah, and I will block you if you show me an ice map.

Some people take it that seriously.

Yes, yeah, go ahead at them.

One last one, last thing to guys.

And I know y'all don't really want people tooting their own horns for biggest fans or whatever, but just I'm such a fan.

I was in a coma at the beginning of March last year and I had friends come and put on the castAR Show, and then my wife would put on that LSU game was the one when I was in the coma last year when we came back.

You know, like even though I couldn't hear them, they know that that Kentucky basketball means that much to me.

I still want to be a part of it.

But I appreciate the.

Call and go cat, Yeah, I'm glad you're doing well now, thank you, Adam Fort.

But I think that there's gonna be few people out there that can claim that they listened to a game and a coma.

So I hear it that don't may have everybody trumped with the coma call.

A great reminder that this thing called sports in Kentucky can bring us all together, no matter what walk of life that we're in or the situation that we find ourselves in.

Shannon, we do fair or foul here on the case our pre show.

Often, I've got a new segment for you.

It's called nothing or something.

Oh, you're just creating segments.

I just created it and you didn't even run that way by me.

Okay.

So I'm gonna tell you something.

You tell me if it's nothing or if it's something.

Okay, Okay.

So far it's been a lot of nothing okay.

Started okay.

So Kentucky is out without Cam Williams.

So there's been a lot of speculation about burning the red shirt of Braiden Hawthorne.

Yesterday, Braiden Authorn tweeted a picture of a scale that reads one ninety one point six.

So a guy that maybe we've called a little underweight needed to put some weight on.

Uh.

The day that we're talking about maybe Kentucky possibly burning his red shirt, he is posting videos uh, saying that the scale is going up share.

So I've got to now guess whether or not that's gonna mean that he burns his red shirt because he posted a picture.

Of the scale.

Nothing or something.

I say nothing, nothing, nothing.

This is just a guy that's going in the right direction.

Yes, this is not a nod to him possibly playing for Kentucky.

I'm gonna say nothing.

What do you think?

Do you think it means that he's going to play now because he tweeted out a picture.

He knows what he's doing.

I think he's playing into the speculation that he might possibly be playing.

These guys listen, they're tuned in.

Oh well, I mean maybe not right now.

Yeah, I mean it is the pre show, so.

I mean hopefully more people are listening to us than watching that guy play on his computer.

I mean, we got we got that many people here in front of us right now.

So maybe they've turned off the pre show to go watch that guy.

But I generally lean towards nothing as well, because I just I don't know if that would be the nod to say that he's going to play now that is a possibility.

Still, it also sounds like Dink Pate is It could be a possibility, but I don't know if that absolutely means there he's going to be playing next.

Yeah, I think it's Trent Noah time.

I think that he's a guy that stepped up big for us last year.

A lot of people didn't think he was going to get a whole lot of minutes and play a significant role.

He did.

So I think this is the time for Trent Noah to step up and uh and get some big time minutes and be a big time player for this one.

Well, I think he's much healthier than he was.

But Goose has said that it's all mental with him.

It's all between the years.

Right.

We know he's a good shooter.

Yeah, we know it.

We saw it last year.

I don't know what's happened this year.

Maybe it's the mental thing that Goose was talking about.

But he's got to figure it out.

I mean, you got to step up.

They really need him right now.

Well, guys that have made, you know, a little bit of a comeback.

Colin Chandler, who started the year pretty well, kind of went into a lulo bit a little bit.

These last few games, he has really turned it.

Oh, he's played great yeah, Colin's ballin Yeah, played a great defense, nice dunk shooting the ball.

Well, yeah, I mean he was.

He was huge in that last game.

Yeah, absolutely, and so was Cam.

I mean Cam scored for the first six points in the second half before he went out with that foot injury.

So, I mean, does that kind of change your expectations for this rest of the year?

Ship, And I mean they do have to figure out this numbers problem.

That this team is good at battling back against adversity though, I will give them that, but they've got a very tough stretch ahead on the schedule where we talked about yesterday you said was the toughest.

Number one, hardest schedule in the country, Yes, the way.

Yeah yeah, So I don't know, like we'd have to sit down and look at the schedule, go game by game and give our predictions.

But you're still feeling good about the team making the tournament.

I actually am.

I think the win over Tennessee and the win over LSU is going to be the difference.

No, I am back on with this team making the tournament now.

The success they might have in the SEC tournament of the NCAA, you know that's still up for debate, I think, but yeah, I do think that they are going to make it at this point.

You know, we could really use a Travis Perry right now.

Honestly, what do you think of the reception he will get when he returns to Rupperena on Saturday.

I think maybe a little bit of a mix, but mostly cheers.

I think he is the all time scoring leader, yeah, in the state when it comes to high school, so there is like, you gotta.

Respect the game.

I think he had a game recently where he had like five threes that he made.

Is that is that right?

Sure?

I thought along, Yeah, but uh, he hasn't really I don't think play a whole lot for Ole Mess this year.

Yeah, they've struggled a little bit.

I mean it's not the best year for Ole Miss.

So I mean this is kind of the last game of Kentucky.

You gotta take, uh, take care of business before this really tough schedule goes.

But yeah, when you're down guards, you kind of wish you kind of could wish that Travis Perry stayed along.

But yeah, things happen for a reason.

I just think Mark Pope's gotta you got to recruit two or three guys every single year when it comes to the point guard spot.

Yeah, Travis Perry.

Last game they lost at home to Auburn, but he had fifteen points.

All right, Well, I mean the twenty three minutes too.

What's the over under for tomorrow for TP oh, I don't know, you get nine and a half.

You think he could score double digit?

Yeah?

I think he can.

I think he can.

I'd probably take the under, but I think people will probably give him around to the applause and cheer.

I mean, it's the transferport Ara, Shannon.

So I don't know if grudges are held in the same way as they used to be.

Yeah.

Well, I mean if you look at it, like the point that he has played more games at Ropperena than some of our own players probably have, you know, so you know, if he's he's familiar with the the sight line when it comes to shooting threes, yep.

Maybe he just locked.

Himself in our room for a long time and became the shooter he needed to be.

Shannon, I don't know.

I'm gonna watch some more of my guy the Isolation year during the break there's.

Mario and Bob and Jamestown.

It's a great reunion.

We've got here at Don Franklin.

Oh yeah, Bob locked and he's not in the get up, the cowboy hat and the gear that he had on.

Ye, Mario and him are now best buds.

They are looking at them.

They have their own they have their own personal handshake and everything.

Now, I thought that was kind of weird.

Eight five h two two eight seven.

We need to take a break.

We'll take some more phone calls and wrap things up here live at Don Franklin on the KSR pre Show.

All right, welcome back.

It's our final segment of the KSR pre Show.

Good crowd here in Campbellsville, getting ready to hand it off to Matt and KSR.

But we've got a lot going on right now.

We had a guy that just walked in and shoulder passed.

Yeah, big, look at this guy's face.

Paint road Warrior right there.

Yeah, let's go love that.

Uh.

We just had somebody I'm seeing him on TV?

Is this the guy that was on TV?

Were right?

Yeah, he may be the biggest Kentucky football fan.

Well, I mean certainly in the running.

If you're gonna paint your face and go to a pre show remo.

Yeah, We also had somebody bring us some Druthers.

It's amazing this show's reach.

Apparently somebody over at Drouthers was listening.

Well, it was Corey Jones who actually called in and paid for it.

Thank you, Cory, somebody from Druthers.

Uh uh drive it over here, Shan, you already dug into the already crushed it, already crushed.

It was as good as I remember.

I Drother go to Druthers.

That was their catch phrase.

I love some Druthers.

I'm probably gonna come back for lunch.

Well, I I can't wait to dive in so big.

Thank you to Corey and uh the people listening over at Brothers and then Shannon.

We came back with a Poison song.

No, that was actually John Mellencamp, But for those of you on podcasts, you don't know the difference.

So just pretend it was a Poison song that you you may have heard.

U and I went it rick to play a poison song because I don't know if you saw this, but Poison was about to go on their fortieth anniversary tour this year.

You know, we saw Poison when we went to Pennsylvania for our trip and we saw def Leppard and uh Motley Crue and Joe and Jennen Black Arts.

Yeah, and Poison was a part of that tour.

Well, Poison, we're gonna go on the fortieth anniversary tour.

The only problem is their lead singer, Brett Michaels, demanded six hundred percent more money than the rest of the band, six hundred percent more six to one.

He wanted to be paid to go on this tour, and the rest of the guys from Poison go u uh, that's not happening.

So the entire tour has been canceled due to Brett michaels greed wow of wanting to be paid six to one to the rest of his bandmates.

Well, I get the singer is the lead man, but I mean that's a little greedy, a little bit.

And where do you pull that down?

Where do you pull the number six hundred percent out of right?

I mean maybe one hundred percent more, okay, but not six hundred percent more.

So because of that, Uh, nobody's gonna get Poison this year?

Is that?

What it's like booking Alice Blue Gown, It's like that lead singer, it's just the rider list.

Now we're three hundred percent more than that guy.

We are very affordable first of all, and we are booking shows for twenty twenty six.

But I do not take six hundred percent more than the rest of the guys.

Ultimately, No, but that seems crazy, uh and crazy.

I thought that was a poison song coming back from break eight five nine two eight zero to two eight seven.

The UK women's basketball team lost at Tennessee last night.

Kenny Brooks said after the game that I think we set women's basketball back about fifteen years.

Yeah.

Yeah, it was a bad loss, but you know, I mean, this is still a really good team.

I think we still have a lot to be optimistic about it.

And I'm not changing my mindset on how good I think this Kentucky women's basketball team really is.

Well.

Tough to win on the road, but you had twenty one turnovers, they shot thirty eight percent.

They had the ball with like twenty seconds left to tie the game, there was a jump ball, then they ended up not getting a shot off.

So it was an ugly end to the game.

But I'm with you, dude, like this is gonna be I think, especially if they can keep it going here.

Yeah, I mean, the team last night was kind of just unrecognizable.

But it's amazing the difference in playing on the road and playing at home, and just how some of these teams that look so great at home go on the road in a tough road environment and just can't put it together for the reason.

Now, their next game, I believe, is Sunday, so I don't know if they plan.

To move there right now.

As of right now, it's still as scheduled, okay, but you know a lot can change depending on which meteorologist gets it right and ends up winning this contest we're gonna be talking about coming up next hour.

That's right.

This has been a lot of fun.

We'll get the official predictions from all the weathermens.

Do you want to predict who you think wins?

Since you won't be on KSR?

Yeah?

Yeah, so I did like a Chris Bailey J Cardos see exact oxon.

I don't know if I can pick one winner, but I may look at this betting sheet a lot and maybe go through a couple bets here.

Well, I look forward to getting everybody on record and seeing exactly what it is because I've seen so many broadcasts of their going well, it could be four to fourteen inches.

Well, I mean I could tell you that, right, I mean, of course it's going to be somewhere in there.

I want to know the exact number.

We're gonna pinpoint down these meteorologists and see exactly what they're numbing.

Oh, that's a big difference.

I mean, I could you know, preparing for four inches versus fourteen.

We're going down to the tenth.

Oh so if you say fourteen, it could be fourteen point three point two, whatever you want to do, but it's got to be down to the tenth.

Well, now that we got the Weather Channel involved, I mean we are as ficial as we can be.

I think Shannon, that's right.

And the official place to bet and using promo COKSR is DraftKings.

Yep, you got this weekend NFL playoffs going on.

Of course Kentucky plays tomorrow.

You can bet all of that on Draft Kings.

And if you're a new customer, great time to get in on DraftKings.

You sign up with the promo code KSR.

You bet five dollars.

If that bet hits, you get three hundred dollars in bonus bets, and they have your back on early exprotection.

If a player that you have a bet on for a player prop goes down with an injury in the first half, they're going to refund your money in cash only on Draft Kings.

The crown is your joy it while you got it.

I mean, we got three more football games until this season is over.

So the football season almost over, but that means prime basketball season and Kentucky's got a big one on Saturday versus Ole Miss.

Everybody stay safe over the weekend with this weather event.

Make sure your pets are inside, make sure you're checking on your neighbors like we talked about.

And Shannon, I hope you have a great weekend.

Hopefully we'll see you on Monday.

I'm looking forward to it.

And everybody come out and get yourself a new ride.

That's right.

Franklin and Campbellsville had a great time.

Big thank you everybody coming out watching the pre show.

KSRS next for Shannon the dude, I'm Billy Rutledge.

We will talk to you on Monday.

Stay safe,
