Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show. It's Wednesday, February 5th. I am Shannon the dude. I'm in Loebel being joined by Billy Routledge. He is over in Lexington, and you can give us a call no matter where you are. 859-2-2-2-2-2-26-6-6-6-6-5-56. Beer, Whiskey Thief call of the day, and the KSR

pre-show is being brought to you by Italics. Fine Italian Dining in Lexington. The cats drop another

one last night. We'll get into that in just a few minutes. But first of all, Billy, how are you doing

this morning? Good morning, dude. I'm glad we just were at Whiskey Thief the other day because

I needed a little Kentucky bourbon after

that loss last night and after some of the

phone calls we took on the post game show.

A little contentious last night.

You know, it feels like it's been

building a little bit, the fourth loss in the last

five games, but it's great to be with you this morning. How are you doing?

Doing good. I noticed a lot of schools, by the way, are out because of the flu. There's a sickness going

around. I don't ever remember in all my years going to school getting out because people were

sick. I mean, I know we just went through a pandemic, so I get that, set that aside. But I'm talking about for the flu. Do you ever remember schools just shutting down because the flu was so bad?

No, no widespread illness sick days. But, you know, my brother goes to school, high school in Oldham County.

And Monday, 1,700 students and 200 staff members didn't show up for school because of different sicknesses.

So I think they're going in the, what, the computer learning.

NTI.

Friday.

Yeah.

So unbelievable.

Hopefully everybody's okay.
