Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show Friday, January 3rd, 2025. Shannon the dude.

Yeah, I'm back today with Billy Rulidge. I'm back. Give us a call in the Clark's Pubpit Shop.

Phone line 859-280-2287. Be your Whiskey Thief call of the day. And as always, the KSR pre-show being brought to you by Italics,

Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Billy.

First time you and I back on the air since, what?

I guess right before the Louisville Kentucky game, right?

Yeah.

December 20th.

So we're like, what, three weeks from not doing a show together. You were out, I was out, and I'm going to be back here with you, man. But I understand there was a mix up yesterday and you guys were giving me the business. I went to go get some coffee earlier. And I was told by one of my coworkers, I didn't listen to the show yesterday. So I don't know what was said that I heard that you guys, not just you, even some of the other guys, were giving me the business for not being here yesterday. What's up with that?

Well, number one, reunited and it feels so good, Shannon. I hope you had a great holiday, a good Christmas and a New Year's. It's great to have you back.

Yeah, I may have been a little passive aggressive yesterday on the show

because i thought my co-host the dude would be back for the first show of 2025 and uh apparently

his vacation it was today i'm back no it was yesterday i'm back for the first show of 2025 uh but you know

what gus came in he did a great job producing the show.

And luckily, we had plenty to talk about.

You know, we just rolled along.

The show must go on.

You know, what I think happened, correct me if I'm wrong, was that your vacation days changed while I was on vacation.

And so our communications company didn't really communicate that to everybody.

Yeah.

Well, I mean, look, you were off, I was off.

Everybody listening knew I wasn't going to be back until today.
