I am Billy Rutlidge along with Shannon the Dude.

You can give us call on the Clark's Pumping Shop phone line.

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

Text us at five oh two two six five six six five six and is always The Ksrpre Show is brought to you by Italics Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the City Center on Main Street, open for dinner and lunch.

They've got great pizza, pizzas, pastas, espresso martini that might get you in the right mood.

Shannon the Dude is in Louisville.

Hopefully he's in a good mood this morning.

What's up, Shannon?

How are you?

Man?

What are you talking about?

I'm always in a good mood for this show.

Whatever iver coming here on our bad mood?

No, I'll give you credit.

You are no Oscar the grouch in the mornings, especially having to get up so early as you do.

What is the official wake up for Shannon?

Is it?

Let me see five thirty.

Let me look at my alarm.

I've got it at five thirty five.

Oh, I'm conn extra five five minutes.

Oh you know five minutes sometimes goes a long way.

Hey, well, it's better than hitting snooze and then your brain going back to sleep and then you take it an hour to get out of that brain fog.

That's the thing.

Can don't hit snooze.

It is not good for you long term.

I had to learn that the hard one.

You know, I can't figure it out.

There's some mornings I wake up and I just can't get going, And then there's other minute mornings where I wake up and I'm just I'm ready to go.

Like today was one of those days where I woke up and I was ready to go.

I felt like I had energy the moment that I woke up.

But there's some mornings I wake up and I'm like, ugh, just can't get going, And I don't know why that is.

Like some people would say maybe it's the weather, but it's raining today, so I would think that today would be one of those days you don't want to get out of bed.

For me, I don't know if it's like something that maybe I did before I went.

To bed, because if I knew what it was.

I would do that every day so that I would wake up full of energy and not dragging.

So I think last night before I went to bed, ate something sweet.

So maybe maybe it's the sugar rush that carried over like six hours later and kicked in.

Could be the diet, could be how much sleep you get.

Yeah, you know, could be the Shannon the dude bruise that you pounded before you went to bed.

It's kind of making it a little bit harder to get up.

Did have a little bit of one, not a full one, but a little bit of one.

Yeah, So you know, maybe that's the case.

I don't know, but I can't figure it out.

A five nine two eight oh two two eight seven.

If you'd like to call and join the show today, we'll talk a little bit about UK Media Day yesterday, UK Pro Day is today.

A lot going in with the basketball team.

It's a bye week for Kentucky football.

So a couple notes.

But you know, as we've talked about, the page has been turned a little bit with this fan base.

We were at media day yesterday.

We missed you, dude.

We were at Memorial Coliseum.

The whole gang wasn't together.

Ryan wasn't there as well, but it seemed like Matt and Drew had a good show.

I was dressed for success, Shannon.

I don't know anybody in the history of the world it's gotten more grief over a pair of khakis than your boy Billy r Sports Yesterday Media Day.

You know, I don't know that I own a pair of khakis.

I've got dress pants, but I mean khakis.

I don't know that I have it.

I remember khakis, you know, you had to wear them in high school.

We had the dress code at.

Bullet Ey Code.

Yeah.

Yeah, we were, you know, sophisticated bullet counting.

We had to wear those khakis and the you know, the polo.

But yeah, you don't see people wear a whole lot of khakis anymore.

You know, kakis were a big thing in the nineties and like the early two thousands.

I don't know, do you see a whole lot of people around the office wearing khakis.

I guess you probably don't see anybody that less in office, do you.

No, there's not a ton of people here regardless.

But I carried the tradition.

You know, people forget I won a twenty twenty four ham day's haybil throwing contest and a pair of khakis, So you know, I mean.

Power of the khakis, the power of the capis maybe if I'm not Kaki is on, I could have thrown that haybill a little farther.

You can go to work with them and be a professional businessman, or you could win habil tosses.

I mean, it's it's fit for both.

But I you know, you dress for success.

I was, you know, dressed right, and you're in the right state of mind.

I was owning that place, ready to go, enjoyed it.

Even saw Darren Rippy Junior come into the stadium and Matt seemed to think I was scaring him away with my khakis yesterday.

I didn't think any of that.

No, well, here's the thing.

If he doesn't commit to Kentucky, we are blaming you in that very moment because they're like, I.

Don't know about that guy.

Where there There may be more of these type of people here at Kentucky.

Maybe I shouldn't commit here after all.

But no, that was kind of cool though, that you were there and you got to see a recruiting visit, right, I mean, you never know what's gonna happen when you're just sitting there for media day and then all of a sudden, here comes a big recruit just walking through the facility.

I set us up right outside Mitch Mitch Barnhardt's office, I mean a little awkward talking about all the football stuff yesterday.

Was it true that he closed the blinds?

The blinds were closed.

I did not know if they were opened before, you know, they were closed.

They could have been closed the entire time, but the blinds were closed.

I like to think that they were open.

And then they saw you guys, and we don't even want to look at those guys.

Well, now came look me in the eye.

We're going to close the blonds.

We definitely had people come over and kind of uh, you know, watch from the athletic department.

So that was great.

Big thank you to everybody that had us out.

And the girl whose hand I didn't shake.

I tried to apologize, couldn't find her shame.

She's a woman.

Well correct, yes, God, I just can't keep digging your right.

Yeah, the girl like she's a second grader.

No, No, I.

Didn't mean it like that at all, boys and girls.

I mean, was there was no discriminated.

Well, yeah, I was just saying, like, a, I don't know how old this sas Id was.

Let's say she's give her the benefit of the doubt.

Let's say she's twenty four years old.

Probably a little bit older than that, but let's say twenty four.

The twenty four year old guy came over, you wouldn't say a twenty four year old boy.

I mean I maybe in the moment, maybe I'm on the air and I just say boy and girl instead of man and woman.

I think you can you can see the deduction there.

I just like, giving you crap.

It's okay, I'm not offended.

Well, I did see Darren Rippy Jr.

A second time, Shannon.

So you know, Mark Pope's in the middle of his press conference.

I'm trying to get the equipment out to my car.

First time I was ever in Memorial Coliseum, so it was a really cool spot.

But I kind of got turned around and so I went out the entrance and my car was on the other side of the building.

So instead of going back into the building, I actually just walked around.

And while I was walking around carrying the equipment, I saw the recruit again in his family so you know what I did, Shannon.

You know, I'm like fifty yards away or something like that.

I gave him those one little nods, you know, kind of like one of these like a salute.

You saluted them.

Oh yeah, give him a little salout.

Now you're in the army saluting people.

I was like, you know, like that, you know that kind of awkward.

You know, you want to recognize somebody.

Hey, good to see you.

You know, I didn't like throw a fist in the air.

I just did a little salute.

Have you ever noticed?

And I find myself doing this and then don't realize i'd do it until after the fact.

But you know, like when you're passing somebody, and let's say the person that you're passing, you know, you say, hey, what's up?

You can I give a nod up in the air with your head like hey, what's up?

Man?

Yeah, But if it's somebody you don't know, I kind of like, hey, but I go down, not bowed down, but you know, like nod my head down.

I don't mean bowed it.

I get the min kne easily.

Hello sir, and like, you know, not like that, but I'm talking about nod my head down, like hey, how you doing?

But it's a it's a it's a down word like head nod.

But if it's somebody you know, it's up.

Yeah, informal up, formal down.

What what is that?

Is that like ingrained into our being that we do that?

Like I I've read that.

I guess maybe were we doing this on the show or maybe I read it somewhere that people do that, and I've realized, well, I do that too, and I didn't even think about it until after I do it.

I've never thought about it before.

This is very insual.

So yeah, it's very instinctual.

Uh.

You know, buddy crosses you in the hallway at school, it's a it's up?

What is it?

Broad?

The chin goes up.

But then when it's somebody you don't know, the chin goes down.

Maybe it's like silent across the room, a nod of respect.

It's down.

It's no, it's not up.

I don't nod.

That's so weird.

What is what?

Does anybody else do that?

Or is it just us?

I feel like I read a study where people do that instinctually, and I think that's.

A thing that not only do I do, everybody does well.

It's bad than a weak handshake.

You ever have a handshake with somebody important and they grab too early or they got a limp hand see, and that can just put the whole relationship off on a weird.

I've been accused of having too hard a handshake at OVW because the custom is in wrestling, when you go into a locker room, you're supposed to go through.

And I don't think it's that big of a tradition anymore, but some guys still do it.

When you walk in the building, you go through the locker room and you go to every single person and shake their hand.

But it's a gentle handshake, okay.

And the gentle handshake is a sign that hey, I'm not I'm not going to be reckless in the ring and try to you know, really injure you.

It's like a gentle handshake.

That you do.

We're on the same team.

But if you yes, but if you grip hard, people say, hey, man, lighting up on that.

You know, wrestlers you're saying that, yeah, wrestle like big guys like, hey, it's with a hard handshake.

I'm like, I don't know, that's tell I shake a hand.

I figured you would have just out extended your hand like this shitbed it.

And why I usually walk in there and extend the ring, extend the world Heavyweight radio title and tell them to kiss that.

It's usually what that's usually my you know what I'm accustomed.

Do you bring the one with the dent in it?

Or you got another one made that you like to carry a new one?

You haven't seen the new shiny one, the one the one you saw in the mad Cave was the one that got destroyed by Adam Revolver on OVW TV with a sledgehammer.

Yeah.

Well, speaking of speaking of the man cave, you just might as well wrap me in bubble wrap that Vandy Starr that stabbed me the other day.

Oh yeah, still on two pieces of glass yesterday?

You mean yeah, twice because a piece of glass.

So you're a walking disaster on I know.

I mean the episode of Hoarders is extended from my garage into my house, Shannon, with all these things that we get from Goodwill nowadays.

So why do you have glass?

Is it?

Was it at your house?

You said, yeah, yeah, yeah, they were doing a lot of organizing over the weekend, broke some glass and I guess nobody vacuum, Shannon, So wrap me in bubble Wrap, call me bubble Boy.

You saw that?

Was that a movie back in the day?

Yeah, bubble Boy?

Yeah.

I think I only knew bubble Boy as a Seinfeld episode where there was a bubble boy giving George a lot of help.

But there's a movie out.

There too, there is.

Today is Amazon Prime Day, Shannon, the day that we like to tell ourselves we're gonna buy things online.

I'm sure many people do, but I think it's more of a promotional holiday for Amazon.

But this one coincides with an interesting headline, Shannon.

Lebron James has teased a second decision today at noon Eastern time.

It is the decision of all decisions.

According to Lebron James, this could go a lot of different ways.

But I'm hesitant, Shannon, because I've been burned before.

Do you remember Snoop Dogg in Snoop Dogg saying he was gonna quit smoking, right, He's done, right, And then a week later we find out he's done smoking because it's a smokeless grill or something like that.

Yeah, something like that, some product that he was pushing on us.

So we talked about it for three to four days.

Snoop Dogg quitting smoking.

Lebron James says he's got a big decision to make.

He is partners with Amazon.

Shannon, so are you are you connecting the dots with me today?

Do you think Lebron's announcement today is an ad for Amazon?

I think the announcement is going to be that Bronni is opening up his own Amazon store and he.

Wants somebody to go buy stuff.

Now, anyone we can promote Bronni.

I think that's what the announcement is going to be.

Later today.

Yeah, they had they had like two chairs set up and he kind of walks in slowly.

The decision of all decisions.

I mean, the first decision was bizarre, one of the great sports theaters of all time.

But Shannon, I'm afraid athletes are now venturing into this like teasing of advertisements.

Oh of course, I mean if it's tied in with the Amazon.

I don't think he's going to announce his retirement through Amazon.

So when you say, you know, lebron big announcement, he's what I think he's forty now, so he's probably getting around that age to where he's not going to be playing that much longer.

But I don't think he would use Amazon as a platform to do that on but we'll see, I guess.

Yeah, and probably not right at the beginning of the year too.

I mean, why would you say that?

But I mean, look at Bruce Pearl just did That's true.

He just up and quit.

That's true.

It's probably It's one of those things with athletes.

It's like, you know, you know right.

I'm sure Shannon the dude had this moment at Lindsay Wilson or Bellerman and he was like, Okay, well you know this is probably the it for me after my college career.

Right yeah, yeah.

At Bellerman, I knew, well, it's been fun, but I guess that's where this baseball thing ends for me because I knew I wasn't going on to the next level, right, I knew I had an injury to my shoulder, took a lot off the fastball, not that the fastball had a lot to begin.

What was the fastball at you know, I don't really know.

I mean I could lie to you and make up some great say like eighty eight or say eighty eight pressed.

I don't think that's true.

I was the type of picture though.

It didn't throw hard, but I could get people out.

Like ground balls are more like just get get people out yet.

Placement, placement, movement.

If you're a pitcher, you don't have to have great velocity if you got placement and movement.

Look at Greg Maddox, one of the greatest pictures of all time.

Oh yeah, he didn't really throw the ball that hard.

He probably threw like what fastball, eighty eight, eighty nine, maybe touch ninety, I'm not sure, but it didn't really throw that hard.

But the guy had movement.

It could place the ball anywhere he wanted.

If you got two out of the three, you could be a good pitcher.

You got all three, you're a great pitcher.

But hm, I wasn't a great pitcher.

I was just good enough.

I would short stopped for most of my year, short stop second base, you know, shorter guy on the team.

They usually put it second base.

But for a few years there I played catcher and that was a lot of fun.

You gotta be tough to play catcher, but I cant imagine to be.

A catcher too.

You're the scrowniest catcher ever.

I mean, what a little bitty, tiny target.

Not When you can get in front of a ball, it's like you're the best infielder out there.

Like sometimes they need somebody to back there so they can stop stealing base.

All I would see is that mit covering up your whole body.

Are used to be so long.

I had to have a headband and wear the headband over and then the catcher's mask over it.

I could totally see that.

But yeah, a lot of fun playing catcher.

Uh And did you ever get run over?

No?

Nope.

I mean there were a couple of plays at the plate, but it was never like I lost the play because you probably get out of the way.

Well, you get out of the way.

Yeah, for the most part.

But there were a couple of tough tags.

You got to talk a little trash with the player that came up to bat and the ump.

You know.

I hadn't watched baseball since the Reds got out, but we got playoff baseball right now.

A lot to react from college football as well over the weekend too.

Yeah, last night's Dodgers and Phillies game was a great game.

I thought the Dodgers were going to blow it at the end, and it was like Phillies were threatening to tie the game up.

There's a ground ball to second base routine groundball the second baseman almost not blocked.

He couldn't get the ball over to Freddie Freeman.

It bounced and Freddie had to awkwardly kind of slide and extend his leg out and scoop the ball to get the last out.

So there was definitely some drama last night and Major League Baseball playoffs.

Well, Freddy one of the best baseball players out there right now if you're looking historically and what he's accomplished, of course, the former brave player.

We'll talk a little baseball.

We'll talk some football notes UK Media Day yesterday.

I've got some interesting things that Mark Pope said.

And Matt was doing an interview with some of the players.

He got some good stuff there.

I like that, like some of those interviews.

Yeah, some cool, interesting angles to get to.

On this Tuesday edition of the KSR pre Show, it's Billy Retligion and Shannon the Dude.

We'll be right back.

Welcome back.

It is the KSR pre Show.

Just a couple former baseball players getting you through the morning.

I say that loosely since I played my freshman year of high school and that was about it.

Yeah, don't compare college baseball player to a guy who barely played high school.

Oh, I wouldn't say barely.

I'd say he did play, but it was for the freshman team.

We were not on varsity.

He barely played.

Then it was more for the conditioning and getting ready for golf.

I'm saying he was a basketball player and he sat on the bench the entire season.

I mean I wanted.

I guess he was.

He had a jersey, so he made the team.

This is like when musicians canceled tours because they didn't sell enough tickets.

Yeah, and they go, I need to focus on my music, got to focus on my home life.

Going to be canceling the tour, not because of low ticket sales, but for a different reason.

Uh.

People coming to my defense over khakis.

Thank you to the listeners for explaining to Shannon the dude that it is crazy that an adult male thinks that khakis are crazy.

Try Yeah, you look just like Jake from State Farm, but insurance quote for me.

One person questioned my use of short socks with pants.

People are at least one guy saying that he can't wear short socks.

It feels weird on his ankles, Shannon, what is this?

What are the height of your socks right now?

Well, right now I'm wearing shorts, so I've got the the inkle.

Socks on at the ankle socks going.

But I don't think it's poor form to wear ankle socks when you're wearing long pants, because who's gonna see them anyway?

Well with my high waters, you get to see my little short socks, right but like yeah, like wetting attire, like dress pants.

I'll throw on the three quarter socks, but just you know, rocking the hookahs.

I'm gonna wear the short socks the no shows, Shannon, but that may be a generational thing.

Who knows.

Mention that UK pro Day is today.

UK Media Day was yesterday, and Shannon, we got a couple fun notes from Pope and some of the guys.

I want to go through some of the stuff here and maybe throughout the show today.

Mark Pope talked about chasing growth, not achievements.

Growth leads to joy, pride and belief, and achievements can be fickle and something that he does not want his players striving for.

You know.

He spoke for over forty minutes at the podium, talked a lot about depth, even mentioned that they might play a little full court press on defense this year.

But a lot of encouraging notes from Mark Pope yesterday.

Just the positivity.

I mean, that's the main thing that I think that I got from the thing yesterday, the press conference yesterday, is just how positive he is.

He was so Mark Pope right and talking about the team, and you could tell the excitement that he has and acts like there's not a whole lot of weaknesses on this team too.

I think he was asked at one point about maybe some of the things they needed to improve on, and I didn't really hear much of an answer from Mark Pope, which I guess that's encouraging, right, that he really believes he's got a great team.

And he talked about the expectation, saying that you know, the expectations and the pressure really doesn't change because you're at Kentucky every year, it's national championship.

That is the expectation, So the pressure never changes from year to year.

The expectations always remained the same.

And that's absolutely correct.

I mean, he would even went on to say there if we had two players on the roster this fan base would still expect us to win a final four or go to a final four and win a championship, and so that's just the nature of the Beast.

A couple of players.

Brandon Garrison's conditioning has got a lot better.

Apparently he was throwing up at the end of win sprints in practice.

Now he's one of the first people, if not the first one finishing these sprints, Shannon, So a big year coming possibly for Brandon Garrison.

Another one is Jalen Lowe and Denzel Aberdeen are best friends off the court, but apparently, Shannon, they are intense on it.

These two guys are going at it when it comes to practice, being very physical.

They're able to separate their friendship when it's time to go on the court.

But these guys look to be the primary ball handlers for Kentucky.

A great friendship off the court, but on it, man, they are intense.

So that's great to hear from two guys that are going to be relied on.

Try.

Yeah, he just sounds like you got some competitors, you know, maybe a couple of guys who could be quote unquote dogs.

We always talk about who's the dog on the team.

Maybe we have a couple of there.

I think he also mentioned Jaden Quainton's and his leg strength.

And he said that he is twenty percent.

Stronger than I think the average NBA player right now in his legs.

I don't know how they measure that exactly, but that was something else that kind of came from that press conference that I took away from it is how quickly he is recovering from that injury.

So it sounds like he's going to be ready to go, and I think they'll ease him in.

I don't think he's going to be ready to go.

Maybe he's ready to go, but I don't think that Pope's gonna be ready to put.

Him in in some of these early games.

But looking forward to seeing him.

Yeah.

I liked Matt's interview with JQ talking about chess and maybe his opening move and Matt trying to figure out what that was.

And what of Matt's other interviews.

He talked to Andreas Yelovich, which we got the news yesterday that he is officially eligible to play Shannon.

No big Z drama, no billboard needs to be put up.

So that's great to hear.

When you say he's eligible to play, eligible to play basketball or yu gi oh?

Well that was that was coming up next.

Oh, he's eligible to play basketball.

Okay, But Matt goes and says something to the effect of tell us something that you do off the court, off of basketball, and he said he's big into trading card games and he is a big yu gi Oh player.

Shannon, did you ever play yu gi oh back.

In the No, I've heard of it.

I don't know how you would play yu gi oh So.

No, I don't play cards, and I don't have a yu gi Oh collection yu gi oh player back in the year oh you were Oh, yeah.

Do you still have your collection?

Yeah?

I do, And I've got some cards that are worth like hundreds of dollars.

I've got I've got some watches, some a class ring, and then I've got a couple of yu gi Oh cards that I'm waiting to sell.

Shannon, probably need to do that with the wedding coming up.

We see when I was a kid, I was collecting baseball cards, not you gi oh.

So maybe you can go challenge maybe a little yu gi Oh versus yellowch and some yuki Oh.

Yeah, I don't know if I have a deck like, I'm very rusty, so I'm I'm sure he would he would kill me.

But like back in the day, like Magic the Gathering was another one, Pokemon was one of these games, Shannon.

A lot of people.

If you don't do baseball cards and football cards, which I did as well, you play a trading card game.

I'm glad I didn't grow up playing Yu gi oh?

Why is that?

Dungeons and dragons?

So dorky it is.

But there's a lot of dorks out there, Shannon, and kill my dragon.

And you know we also have to have some fun too, mister Oh, I'm gonna go play baseball in college.

I could throw eighty or fastball.

No, who is your favorite Pokemon?

Was it Squirtle?

Was it Squirtle?

Was one of the great ones?

There's no doubt.

Did you big Squirtle guy?

No?

No, I leave the squirrel into you, Shannon.

But if you want to bet on this Kentucky basketball team, maybe you want to do a Yu gi oh match.

Maybe that's on draft.

Kay.

Shannon, you riled up the people on the text line.

Let me read something here for you.

Oh five O two two sixty five sixty six five six.

The guy who goes and pretend fights with men and tights and totes around a fake title he had created so he can mask his insecurity.

Is judging a guy for playing you gi oh.

One of several comments we just got I am, and you.

Want to bring you a little nerdy U gi O cards into the wrestling ring.

I'll show you what it's all about.

Because people like you and Billy think that it's just a big mattress in there.

I'm telling you you can.

You can really get hurt in the wrestling ring, especially if you don't know what you're doing.

So don't even try to compare being a wrestler to somebody who sits in their mama's basement and plays with their U gi Oh cards.

You watch it, Shannon about the mama basement thing.

You watch it.

The dorks got them all riled up.

Huh No, No, you're the dork over there and you're tights.

Another one is don't let Shannon tell you.

The catcher has to be big for high school and younger.

I put my most athletic kids at catcher.

Catcher has to control the whole game, and it takes the best players to do that.

Could not agree more.

They put me back there because I needed to save the team.

I think you want to put your most athletic player in the outfield that whoever that is, that got What do you mean, well, yeah.

No, no, you want your athletic players.

In the infield.

At least in the infield.

Yeah.

Well, I mean you got to stop people from stealing.

That's not easy to do in Little league.

So that's probably why they had me back there, Shannon, because I had such a great I'm sure that's why.

Yeah, I got a couple more things for media day.

But before we go to go to that, the NFL had a lund game on Sunday morning, the Vikings and the Browns, and with the Vikings trailing, they lined up for a fifty one yard field goal.

Shannon, it was no good.

The ball seemed to care them to the right midway through its kick in the air.

If you go and look at the video, the ball hits the skycam cable and then ricochet's to the right, missing the field goal.

Nobody noticed it.

The refs did not stop the game.

In the rule book, you would get a rekick, but nobody noticed it.

The Vikings did still go on to win, come back and win, but the ball hit the cable and then missed the field goal, and nobody.

Saw it, and did nobody think that that cable would be too low to where it could possibly happen.

Then nobody foresaw that that's a possibility that a field goal could hit that cable.

You know, turning this London stadium into like a game for one game in a year in the cables seemed to be too low.

Kicked the ball hit the cable in nobody he noticed it.

I'm a little surprised this doesn't happen more often.

But Shannon, that's a good point that you know, in a like a stadium built for one game, maybe the cables are a little lower than the standard at NFL stadiums.

If you would think that there would be a definitive height that those cables would have to be off the ground just for the chance that something like this does happen.

But it sounds like they weren't.

They weren't ready.

That's why we need to take the game from them and bring it back to America.

Well, they can't.

Get ready there get ready.

Goodell wants sixteen international games in an up to sixteen Yeah, so he wants like a game every week internationally, jeez, so that maybe.

The players like that, I mean, what the players have a little something to say about that with the players Union.

Yeah, I don't know, because you know, they a lot of times players don't like short weeks.

But you know, it's like a little bit of a European vacation when you go over there, maybe a different country.

So I don't know.

Maybe they bring their families and have a good time.

Do you have you ever done wind sprints in an alleyway Shannon.

No, I haven't.

I haven't.

I don't know that they were winspread and I think there were.

I think he was jogging, but nonetheless he was running, so regardless of of wind sprints were jogging.

It was a bizarre story with Mark Sanchez.

Yeah, somehow getting into a knife fight with a guy who was dumping out.

French frog grease and the guy parked his car in the alley.

There was there was a lot of moving parts to the story.

There is.

We're hoping everybody is okay health wise.

I saw the pictures of the sixty nine year old truck driver.

He's got a big slash across his face.

Like there's video that came out yesterday of Sanchez stumbling around looking for a bar to go into at the stab wounds.

It's just I'm just really did that many people carry around pocket knives?

I think you and Mad are way off on this.

I think a lot of people do still carry knives.

I mean people are carrying guns out there, Shannon, right.

I think I think you know, country Boy can survive.

There are people with pocket knives out there.

There's no doubt.

Remember my knife that I carried around?

Yeah, but I'm just saying like, oh, you're a little Swiss army knife, had a fingernail file on mushroom knife.

You really going to hurt somebody with that?

You remember?

Little thing?

Yeah?

I was just wondering, though, if you're going out for a jog.

I guess you got to carry a knife on you, or at least if you're Mark Sanchez, you do well.

You know, Mark Sanchez got pepper sprayed and stabbed in that story.

The guy Pepper sprayed him before he actually stabbed him a few times.

So, I mean, what was going on in that alley?

Like it was just it had to be like a like a fever dream or something like that.

Mark says the only thing he remembers was grabbing for a window.

So I think I remember that alley when we were there for the Kentucky Tennessee game.

And no, you remember that alley?

Well, no, that's the one right outside of the hotel where we did the postgame show.

That's crazy.

According to Matt said, that was right outside of the hotel room.

And if it is, I do remember that alley, but I don't know.

Man.

I wasn't running, do any wind sprints or stabing anybody.

I didn't see anything like that going on there.

It seemed like it was pretty calm, but you never know.

Let's take our first call today five nine two o two two eight seven.

Jonathan is on the line.

What's up, Jonathan?

How are you?

Hey?

Guys?

It was good.

All the shitty rays on Friday.

I was just curious, and I have a question to you, but I was just curious if Shandon Kidd even name.

One Pokemon squirrel, can we name another one?

Okay, yeah, give you another one.

I don't know.

Oh, I do not know.

And I was like, I'm proud to say I don't know.

It's like six hundred of them, now.

Yeah, six hundred names.

Yeah, I mean they went through like nine generations of Pokemon.

Hermione, her god, Oh no, the the other dork thing.

Yeah, what a dork over there.

Like that, I'm talking about you.

I love Jonathan.

He's the one that showed me the Chinese messy jersey, right Jonathan.

Yeah, yeah.

And I think there's like over a thousand now.

They're still making games, so I think they're well into a thousand, which is which is crazy these days.

But I'm gonna I'm gonna dress my son up as a Halloween costume, as a Pokemon, And so I was curious for the kind of for the Halloween season.

I was curious for the Halloween season.

What it was your all best Halloween costumes growing up?

Best hollow That's a good question, John asked, Halloween cost Halloween costume.

Okay, I've got one.

I was in I was in pee wee football, and so I wore my shoulder pads out and I had one of those football masks, like it's an actual football and like you see through the cutout eyes, and it was like kind of a scary looking football.

So, I mean, I was like six five or six years old walking around in little shoulder pads and that scary football mask.

And we've got a bunch of pictures from it.

So it's definitely my most iconic kid Halloween costume.

Shannon, did you just put a sheet on yourself?

I was poor.

No, No, I don't think it was my best.

I think it was probably my worst.

But this one stands out of my mind.

For some reason.

I wanted to be Freddy Krueger, you know, for uh, for Halloween.

So I had the Freddy Krueger glove, which was cool, but then I couldn't I didn't have a Freddy Krueger mask, so instead I just had this old man mask with like he was like bald from like the front part to like the mid part of his head and then it was like just white.

It kind of look like George Washington or something.

So I had like this George Washington looking mask with the Freddie glove.

And I don't know why, but that that one sticks out of my mind.

It was like a hodgepodge of a half assed Freddy Krueger, is what it was.

Well, you loved it so much now you dress up like every Thursday.

So what tradition.

I haven't been to OVW in six months.

There was one year where I think everybody in the country dressed up as Scream or you know when I'm talking about the mask with the mouth wide open, I mean every kid had that costume and then like the little fake blood that would run through the mask.

Yeah, yeah, it was.

It was high tech.

Back I did do the zombie run.

I don't know if they still do that, and it's in August.

I haven't heard about them doing that in years.

Haven't thought about it, but I.

Think my dad.

I think my parents or somebody close to my family did that recently, so I think that is something.

It was a little like a.

Zombie attack thing where everybody dresses up as zombies in the Highlands of Louisville and goes up and down Bartstown Road dressed as zombies.

I did that one year, and that was pretty cool.

I had professionally done like the makeup and everything.

Oh yeah, I think I've seen a picture of you with the makeup.

Yeah, but that wasn't for trigger treaty.

That was when I was like twenty five, so maybe thirty.

Can't name another Pokemon, No, And.

I would be ashamed of myself if I could.

You go poor kid when he talked about put.

The Pokemon, well, I feel bad for the kid.

Let them live.

Shannon let them live their life.

There's other people don't have to like sports, they like other things.

Speaking of sports, though, a couple of other notes from UK Media Day yesterday.

Kentucky's going to be having a fan fest before Big Blue Madness on Saturday, from noon to four thirty.

The Wildcats will hang up, hang out with fans, sign autograph, take pictures.

It's completely free, so the Blue man Is tickets sell out in twenty six minutes.

This is the alternative.

Take your kids go see the Cats.

They'll have food trucks, booths and games.

I think this is a great opportunity for the fans to connect with the players, isn't not?

Absolutely yep.

And I think that's one of the things that Mark Pope has probably heard from from a lot of fans wanting to have the opportunity to connect with players as much as possible.

And I think that's really cool that they're doing this, the Big Blue camp out.

You know, that's one of those things that a lot of people have been wanting to come back.

What do you think?

Thank you?

Well hopefully.

I really the only thought I have on this is like the Duke basketball Twitter account posted pictures of tents the other day and said only and only at Duke or something like that.

I mean, as right, now, come on, EBN, did it better bring it back?

So I'm for it.

Kenny Brooks talked as well.

We didn't get to interview any of the players on the women's team, but Kenny Brooks did speak for a little bit.

He said, it's the tallest team he's ever had in the twenty five years of coaching.

Wow, that's saying something because the team last year led the country in blocks.

So I mean, if this is even a taller team.

They watched Maggie Davis and BBN tonight last night.

They had an interview with I guess a Swedish transfer.

That's six foot five for Kenny Brooks this year, so you know, it could be some tall redwood trees down there in the post for Kentucky this year.

What is the average height of a w NBA player?

Do we know?

I'm just curious because six foot five, I mean that's that's.

A good height than college.

I don't feel a pretty good hight.

Yeah, I have no idea.

Could not tell you.

I could tell you what the WNBA commissioner said the other day, which.

Is WHI yeah, yeah.

So six foot is the average NBA w NBA player, no way, Okay, that's the average player, okay, average?

Football texas looked really bad in their.

Game, yeah and we just got the announcement That kentucky And texas In lexington will either be seven or seven forty FIVE.

Pm what are those games?

ACTUALLY i Think kentucky's got a shot In, shannon would you?

Agree, No but you're saying seven or seven forty?

Five yeah you, So i'm sure you want seven o'clock just because that extra forty five minutes would correct you out of THE a little bit.

EARLIER i, Mean kentucky's always got a, shot BUT i mean, REALISTICALLY i, mean if you played the game ten, times Does kentucky get one of?

Them?

Yeah maybe, maybe, maybe.

MAYBE i could be talked into.

One so, again it goes back to the.

Offense does the offense have the capability of scoring more than fourteen?

Points if, not then the, answers, no they don't have a chance because you're not gonna Hold texas to that few.

Points so the offense has got to get.

Going they got, to you, know get one of these games where they not only create turnovers but score points off, turnovers kind of like What South carolina did To.

KENTUCKY i, mean is it possible they could beat A texas or A.

TENNESSEE i, mean anything's, possible but is it?

Likely, no it's.

NOT i Think kentucky's next.

Win, god is It?

AUBURN i don't.
