Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show Monday, March 17th. St. Patrick's Day. Give us a call

And as always, the KSR pre-show being brought to by Italics.

Fine Italian dining in Lexington. It is the most exciting week of the entire year when it comes

to sports with March Madness kicking off. And it's also the least productive work week of

the entire year. Nobody's going to be paying attention at work on Thursday and Friday.

But I'm excited for everything. We got a lot to talk about, Billy. But first of all, how are you doing?

It's good to see you again. Good to be back here in Louisville for me. You're in Lexington this morning.

What's going on? Good morning, dude. What's up? Happy St. Patrick's Day to you. I don't have any green on, but if you try to pinch me, I might punch

you in the face, Shannon. Do not try to pinch me this morning, but it's good to see you. How are you?

I'm good, man. I don't have any green on either. I just realize that. I mean, you can pinch me.

Just don't pinch my nipples. I don't like that. Nobody likes that. You can't pinch me. No, I thought that was the dumbest thing in school.

But you know what?

It's your tradition.

Did you go out and party like most St. Patrick's Day weekends, 20-something-year-olds do?

Did I ever?

I think you're probably too tired from the SEC tournament.

Who am I?

I'll be out drinking green beer probably later on today.

And by the way, you can go to KS Bar and Grill. We're going to have some of that green dye beer that you can consume and we'll go,

we'll go drink down to some green beer a little bit later on. Good, good.

You know, you think about it, though, like adding the color green to beer, I don't know why.
