Welcome everybody. It is the KSR pre-show Friday January 17th. Thank you. Thank you.

Shannon the dude, Billy Rutledge. We're live in Lexington at Bespoken Spirits. You can give us a call in the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line.

859-28027. Be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. You can also send us a text, 502-265-66. And the KSR pre-show is being brought to you by

Italics, fine Italian dining here in Lexington. Billy, we're running it back. We had so much fun

last week here at Bespoken Spirits. We're back again. You can stop in, get free samples of their

club blue bourbon. It's the NIL bourbon, which help support UK athletes and

NIL initiatives. And here we are again. Yeah, it had so much fun last time. We decided to come

right on back. It was right before the snow hit that we had this remote last Friday. So now we've

survived that. We're back. They just asked us to sign a bottle. I said, are you sure you want my

signature? That might devalue the bottle a little bit,

but you know what? Happy to be back and happy to be alongside you, dude. It says here today at noon,

they're going to be giving a free tour of the distillery. So if you know, you stick around afterwards,

I might do that. About a 30-minute tour, and you can take advantage of that, do it tasting. They got their launch party coming up. We'll talk more about it as we go throughout the show today.

But big game coming up this weekend.

We'll talk about Kentucky and Alabama tomorrow at noon at Rupp Arena.

But first of all, you were telling me there was a story involving getting the equipment here today.

Oh, yes.

It's never easy, right?

Well, it really isn't, but after saving the show yesterday, we gave Ryan our special

machine the Max Connect, and I needed to meet up with Ryan to get the Mac get the Max Connect

yesterday so we could have it today.

So Ryan texted me, and he's like, I'm going to get you this Max today.
