Chapter 1: What are the Enhanced Games and why are they controversial?

0.031 - 23.217 Unknown

Imagine an Olympics where doping is not only legal, but encouraged. It's the Enhanced Games. Some call it grotesque, others say it's unleashing human potential. Either way, the podcast Superhuman documented it all, embedded in the games and with the athletes for a full year. Within probably 10 days, I put on 10 pounds. I was having trouble stopping the muscle growth.

A win is a win. I don't care what y'all say. Yep, that's me, Clifford Taylor IV. You might have seen the skits, my basketball and college football journey, or my career in sports media. Well, now I'm bringing all of that excitement to my brand new podcast, The Clifford Show.

65.438 - 85.813 Drew Franklin

On the Look Back At It podcast. 1979, that was a big moment for me. 84 was big to me. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English. Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. With our friends, fellow comedians, and favorite authors. Like Mark Lamont Hill on the 80s. 84 was a wild year. It was a wild year.

85.853 - 95.613 Drew Franklin

I don't think there's a more important year for black people. Listen to Look Back at It on the iHeartRadio app, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

95.633 - 111.612 Shannon the Dude

This space is about Black men's experiences, having honest conversations that it's really not safe to have anywhere, but you're having them with a licensed professional who knows what he's doing. How many men...

111.592 - 126.327 Shannon the Dude

carry a suit of armor it signals to the world that you not to be played with and just because you have the capability that does not mean that you need to listen to learn the hard way on the iHeartRadio app apple podcast or wherever you get your podcasts

Chapter 2: How did Drew Franklin adjust to fatherhood after a hiatus?

511.446 - 520.678 Shannon the Dude

Number one, throw away all your socks and buy 20 pairs of the same new socks so you don't have to worry about mismatching.

0

521.772 - 524.676 Unknown

No. I don't agree with that.

0

524.696 - 547.104 Shannon the Dude

No? Why am I throwing away the socks I already have? Well, you can keep them if you want, but the point is wear one kind of sock so that you don't have to worry about mismatching and you are always consistent and they need to be good, comfortable socks. It has not been 48 hours since I've ordered new socks, so I'm in on this. I keep my sock drawer pretty organized.

0

547.164 - 561.133 Shannon the Dude

I throw out stuff when they lose a match or get a little hole in them. I like this. I started doing this recently of only buying one kind of sock, and then you don't have to sit there and go, oh, is it this one? Is it the right? Just the one kind of sock. I'm for this. So I'm with Drew. Yes.

0

561.213 - 573.724 Ryan Lemon

See, you've got my secret. All my socks are all Hanes socks, so they can come out of the washer and dryer. I can match them together. Same size. All same size. And like Drew said, as soon as they get a hole in them, throw them away. I don't know if that's true.

573.785 - 593.694 Shannon the Dude

When you showed that house, there were three little piggies showing there. Your toes were out in my house, too. I don't want to hear that. Shannon, you disagree, though. You want multiple socks. Well, you know, I think there's sometimes you reach in there and you're like, oh, which one am I going to get today? It's like a lottery. Number two, cooking at home. I'm out. I'm out, too. I don't know.

593.834 - 617.062 Shannon the Dude

How do you do that? I'm out. I would like to be able to do that. And my hope is when I move into my new home, I will try to do it more. But I actually don't think it would make your life better. I actually think it will make your life harder. I cook at home several meals a day, and I'll admit it is harder. I spend my day like, what do I need from the grocery store? What am I cooking tonight?

617.162 - 625.282 Shannon the Dude

So even though I do it, I don't agree with that one. Oregano and turmeric and all this. I don't worry about those. That's exactly right.

625.322 - 626.724 Unknown

I have a rule when it comes to cooking.

Chapter 3: What are some cheap life improvements discussed in this episode?

958.707 - 966.226 Shannon the Dude

I can't reach it. I think that's been helpful. Yeah. Yeah. All right. Here's another one. Floss. Floss. I heard we're supposed to be doing this.

0

966.607 - 972.961 Ryan Lemon

Yeah. Flossing's big. I love it when I go to my dentist and she says, when's the last time you flossed? And I said, when was the last time I was here?

0

974.204 - 993.277 Shannon the Dude

And she said, eight years ago. But, you know, here's where floss really shows up. Your breath. Yeah, yeah. Your breath. I mean, like, a few years back, I was having some breath problems, and I was like, I can't seem to get rid of this. And then when I went to the dentist, they were like, do you floss? And I went, well, I mean, don't get me with specifics.

0

993.297 - 999.507 Shannon the Dude

And they were like, that is the difference. And then once I did, then it was. Flossing is, I think, huge.

0

999.487 - 1007.695 Unknown

Nothing worse than being floss shamed at the dentist's office. But I've moved on to water picks. Have you seen these water picks? I have seen the water picks. They gave me one of those.

1007.776 - 1027.536 Shannon the Dude

But that's a whole process. I find that hard to do. You fill it up with water and push a button. Is it Billy's bidet? No, it's not. Use Billy's bidet. Shannon goes there to do it. So there are others, which we may get to later, but those are helpful tips that are small things that will improve your life, and I like those. I do most of those, but I think I need to listen and floss.

1027.516 - 1043.16 Shannon the Dude

And get a library card. Listening is probably the one I need to work on the most. But you should consider reading, Ryan. I do think as you get older, you need to keep that brain working out. Your brain does not get workouts. Your body doesn't either, but your brain really doesn't get workouts.

1044.102 - 1057.769 Ryan Lemon

I read this copy point here they gave us today. Doesn't that count? No. Maybe a library card? I can't even tell you the last time I was in a library. I mean, I honestly sit here right now. I may have been in middle school. I don't remember the last time I was in a library.

1057.789 - 1077.874 Shannon the Dude

Sorry, it sounds like that's going to be a no for you. 859-280-2287. Golisano Children at UK and Norton's Children. Text to give campaign for KSR. We're going to be starting it at 1030. I hope our fan base shows up and it shows their generosity as I know they will. We'll take a break and be right back. This is KSR.

Chapter 4: How does cooking at home affect daily life?

1577.258 - 1600.611 Shannon the Dude

Well, they didn't want to say anything. Because they didn't have anything to say about it. The lesson was, when Eli Capilouto didn't show up to the press conference, the retirement press conference, at the end of the day that told me two things. One, they're pushing him out. And by the way, I firmly believe that. They pushed him out. That wasn't a, well, this is my, they pushed him out.

0

1601.401 - 1619.419 Shannon the Dude

Because if that was a joyous moment, Capilouto shows up. They pushed him out. And then I actually think it was very rude of him to make him go stand out there on his own. And have to explain it. And then he handled it as poorly as you could handle it, yelling at everybody.

0

1619.76 - 1642.082 Shannon the Dude

So it was a, you know, I think part of the reason you're seeing, if you'll notice, Jay Blanton at the meeting last week going, we've got to figure out and more get on board PR. They're acknowledging we screwed that up. And I'm glad they did because they did screw it up.

0

1642.322 - 1644.384 Ryan Lemon

I always felt like if they had handled it the right way.

0

1644.524 - 1646.025 Shannon the Dude

He might have gotten away with it.

1646.045 - 1648.167 Ryan Lemon

People might have just kind of moved on and forgotten about it.

1648.407 - 1650.329 Shannon the Dude

Don't they do that in Scooby-Doo, Shannon?

1650.449 - 1651.23 Ryan Lemon

Those meddling kids?

1651.29 - 1675.548 Shannon the Dude

If it weren't for those bastardly children, we would have gotten away with it. If they had just better, I actually think they would have gotten away with it, but they didn't. You can't name one job responsibility. You can't just make something up on the spot. They were like, we don't know what it is yet. I've had a few people say, do you think that Mitch Barnhart would punch you and Drew?

Chapter 5: What are the benefits of having a library card?

1706.188 - 1718.972 Shannon the Dude

I mean, it's a million-dollar job. We know it's a million-dollar job. Ryan's getting a library card. He can do it. That's right. 859-280-2287. We'll talk some basketball and raise some money right after this. KSR.

0

1720.758 - 1724.684 Unknown

TJ Smith, personal injury attorney. Call TJ. He'll make them pay.

0

1725.044 - 1729.61 Matt Jones

Now, more of Kentucky Sports Radio presented by Stockton Mortgage. Here's Matt Jones.

0

1729.791 - 1744.632 Shannon the Dude

So your girlfriend, Ryan, says she's not only taking you to the library to get a library card, she's making you check out books. Yes. So I do have a suggestion for people. If you have a book that you think Ryan should get, you should send him a message. Because, Ryan, I want you to get books that don't scare you away.

0

1744.692 - 1749.178 Shannon the Dude

I think if I give you books, I want something that will kind of ease you into reading.

1749.395 - 1752.24 Ryan Lemon

Well, the last book you gave me, the plot was really good.

1752.26 - 1755.405 Shannon the Dude

You liked it. Well, you know, there's sequels out. It's called The Sequel.

1756.226 - 1757.368 Ryan Lemon

Well, then that's the answer.

1758.009 - 1761.134 Shannon the Dude

All right. Perfect. So now you have the second book.

Chapter 6: Why is outdoor walking considered beneficial?

1867.627 - 1870.452 Shannon the Dude

He was the All-Star one year and was nearly the MVP.

0

1870.472 - 1871.714 Ryan Lemon

Should have been the MVP, actually.

0

1871.734 - 1883.474 Shannon the Dude

Well, they lost. Had they won, he probably would have been. So, rest in peace, Odie Smith, a national champion at Kentucky. That All-Star game had 16 Hall of Famers in it, like the list of names. You'd know all of them.

0

1883.494 - 1885.378 Ryan Lemon

And then there's Odie Smith, and he was the MVP.

0

1885.398 - 1886.76 Shannon the Dude

And Odie Smith gets named the MVP.

1886.74 - 1894.677 Ryan Lemon

I've never heard that. It's an awesome story. But you're right, he is one of the best U.K. players that you don't know who he is or anything about him. Definitely is Odie Smith. Rest in peace.

1894.877 - 1895.579 Shannon the Dude

Pick your phone up.

1895.959 - 1896.18 Ryan Lemon

Okay.

1897.001 - 1917.123 Shannon the Dude

So, the Golisano Children's Hospital at U.K. and Norton's Children's Hospital in Louisville. We at KSR, I'm challenging the ladies of KSR. This is something you will come through. This is for babies who are the tiniest and sickest babies in Kentucky. We are doing a donation to help those babies and mothers in the community.

Chapter 7: What role does good sleep hygiene play in overall health?

2503.543 - 2505.567 Shannon the Dude

We'll take a break. We'll be right back. This is KSR.

What the hell does George Bush got to do with Lil' Kim? Well, you can find out on the Look Back At It podcast. I'm Sam Jay. And I'm Alex English.

2614.715 - 2635.352 Drew Franklin

Each episode, we pick a year, unpack what went down, and try to make sense of how we survived it. Including a recent episode with Mark Lamont Hill waxing all about crack in the 80s. To be clear, 84 was big to me, not just because of crack. I'm down to talk about crack all day, but just so y'all know. I mean, at this point, Mark, this is the second episode where we've discussed crack.
