Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show. It's Tuesday, May 6th. I am Shannon the dude being joined by Billy Rutledge, and you can give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line.

859-2-2-2287. Be our Whiskey Thief call of the day. You can also send us a text at 502-265-66.

The KSR Pre-show is being brought to you by Italics. Fine Italian Dining in Lexington.

I'm here with Billy Rutledge, who likes to be invited to parties, but then in turn won't invite you to his party.

Good morning, Billy. How are you doing? I'm great, Shannon. I am great. I knew we were going to start there.

I thought it was either Paperboy Billy, Too Lily, Billy, or I don't invite people to my parties, Billy. So it's, uh, yeah, I'm doing great this morning, but, you know, I had no planning on who I invited to my own surprise birthday party. So it wasn't me, Shannon. It is, uh, you know, it is a different party. It is not me. So you're basically throwing your fiancee under the bus right now on live radio because she's the one who scheduled this, right? She's the one who put the surprise party together. Am I wrong? I'm not throwing anybody under the bus. I'm just going to say the party planning committee didn't invite the KSR members, aka your fiancé, which I just said.

Well, you know, I did some, you know, I did some looking around yesterday to try to figure out what the real story was. And, you know, as always, it gets a little lost in translation right it gets telephone gamed into you know

billy doesn't like us so that's why they weren't invited to the party but that's the way i took it

i don't know well that was yeah that was scottesdale matt that was presenting the story um you know

after further review it seems like the parting planning committee was a little bit too nervous

to ask the ksr guys to come to the party.

Too nervous. What did she think we were going to do, yell at?

I don't know if it's a he or a she on the party planning committee, but, you know, it was just, I think it was just they were worried about who was coming and inviting too many people and maybe got a little too nervous to ask Matt

Jones if he wanted to come down to Louisville to go to a party. So I think it, like I said,

it gets a little warped into Billy doesn't like the KSR guys. And I should probably just say

this right up front. I love you guys. I do it. I feel like I've said that more than once.

You don't like us. You love us.

Absolutely.

Yeah, we've created a bond, Shannon, especially me and you, man.

I mean, we're coming up on four years.

Extra, extra, KSR pre-show 889 early today.
