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

Today is Thursday, January 16th.

I am Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the dude.

You can give us a call in the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line.

It's 859-2802-287.

Text us at 502-265-6.

And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Ital X, Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky.

I am in Lexington, along with Shannon the dude, who is in Louisville. And after three and a half years and maybe even more than that, I'm starting to figure out my co-host, Shannon the dude.

Starting to get to know each other very well, like a married couple. In what way are you talking?

Well, we were just talking off the air about what we're going to do for Monday. Martin Luther King

Day, the inauguration day. It's a company holiday. So they've asked us if we wanted to do a live

or a best-of show. I think Matt and myself are on board for doing a best-of.

But Shannon here always wants to parlay his vacation days into beach days.

So he was kind of talking about doing a live show.

And I'm starting to figure you out, dude, because I know what you want to do with those vacation days.

I mean, what sounds better to you?

A random day off in January when it's cold and you really can't do anything?

Or maybe work that day and then use that day in the summer and extend your vacation another day.

No, I get that getting that extra comp day and then parlaying it to a longer vacation for yourself.

I'm just starting to figure you out, dude.

I mean, just after a while.

Yeah, I mean, here's the reality.
