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

Today is Monday to December 30th.

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

That's 859-280-2287.

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 good to be with you this morning, a live edition of the KSR pre-show, as we just have a couple more days until we turn the page to 2025.

Believe it or not, Shannon, the dude dude still has some more vacation days to take,

so we will let our man take them.

You know he will.

And so we have another special guest in studio.

He's a good friend from the UK Sports Network.

It's Darren Hedrick.

You can hear him play-by-play voice of the UK Sports Network on women's basketball

and baseball games.

You heard them just this weekend as the cat's got

a win over the Toppers. It's good to see you. Darren, how are you, man? Good morning, Billy. Happy New Year,

man. I guess we could go ahead and say Happy New Year. Yeah, it's close enough. Are you a New Year's

resolutions person? I've never kept them, so I just stopped making them. Yeah, most people don't.

To the point where the second Friday in January is known as Quitter's Day.

Really?
