Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR pre-show.

Today is Friday, December 6th.

I'm Billy Rutledge, and you can give us a call on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line.

That's 859-2-802-2287.

Text us at 502-265-66.

And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italics,

fine Italian dining right here in

Lexington on Main Street in the city center. It's our final day of this week without Shannon the

dude. He is on the road to Salt Lake City with the KSR gang. They will be on at 10 a.m. And you can hear

from them a little bit later on their drive to Seattle. So we continue our week of guest, and boy, do we have a special one for you

today. He actually made an appearance earlier in the week, but he actually made the hour

and a half drive down to be in studio this morning. It's Kentucky Lunged the Unforgettable Richie Farmers in studio. Good morning, Richie. How are you?

Good morning, Billy. It's good to be here. It's really nice to have you in studio. We've had you

on a couple times over the phone. I've gotten to meet you at a golf scrambler, too, but for you to make

the trip, it really means a lot. So first of all, thank you, Richard. Yeah, no problem, man. You know, I really enjoy listening to you guys.

I get a chance occasionally to listen to you. I try to listen to you as much as possible.

And I think you do a great job keeping up with, you know, the basketball as well as everything else that's going on.

Well, that's surreal to hear, Richie Farmer, saying that to little

old me. Yeah, so I do appreciate that. You guys do an awesome job, and I was happy to help out.

Now, do you think you would survive a KSR road trip and a seven-day trip across the country to Seattle? Do you think

you're built like that, Rick? Probably not. Six other guys in the cars at the same time.

Maybe when, maybe, uh, 25 years ago, I would have been all in, but, uh, at this point, uh, probably not.
