Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show Tuesday, December 10th. I am Shannon the dude. I am back in Kentucky.

Back in Louisville here in the studio with Billy Rutledge over in Lexington. Give us a call in the Clarks Pubbett Shop phone line 859-2-2-2-2287.

You can also send us a text at 502-265-66-6. Be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day.

And the KSR pre-show is always being brought to you by Italics, fine Italian dining in Lexington.

Nine days on the road, 10 states covered, over 2,400 miles in a partridge in a pear tree. Good morning,

Billy. How are you, man? Did you miss me? Good morning, dude. I guess. Yeah, I think I definitely

missed you. Did you enjoy your week of vacation away from the show? You call it vacation. It was

hardly a vacation. I mean, mean we worked hard we did the show

every day we put in six hours on the road probably on average every day uh man that that

we'll talk a little bit about gonzaga because i didn't get to say a whole lot about that

on the post game show but yeah i mean we went to that first of all, when we got to Seattle, we rolled right

into Seattle, did not check into a hotel, went right to the bar, did the pre-game show,

walked over to the arena, watched the game, came back to a bar, did a post-game show,

and then finally went to bed at about 3.30 a.m. Eastern time, which is only 1230 out

there, but I'm all thrown out of sorts because of the time change.

Oh, yeah. I'm sure you're a little jet lagged coming back, maybe, and there's nothing like

that first sleep in your bed after eight or nine days on the road. So I'm sure you

probably got a good night sleep and that alarm hit this morning and you were like, please,

for the love of God, make this not true. Yeah, it's good to have you back. Yeah, man, good to be back.

And a lot of fun. We'll talk a little bit about that. Kentucky with a big win over Gonzaga. We've got to talk about that too. But, you know, first of all, yesterday, Billy, we were coming back.

It was a four and a half hour flight from Seattle, nonstop.

And, you know, they always ask you to put your phone on airplane mode, right?
