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

Today is Thursday, May 15th.

I am Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the dude.

Give us a call on the Clark's Pump and Shot phone line.

That's 859-280-2287.

Text us at 502-265-66, and as always, the KSR Pre-show is brought to you by Italics.

Fine Italian dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky on Main Street in the city center.

Thank you for joining us for episode 896 of the KSR pre-show.

I am here with my co-host, Farmer Dude, who does not yet have overalls on, but maybe he will in the coming weeks.

Good morning, dude. What's up? Hey, man, doing good. So 896 episodes, 104 before we get to a thousand.

That's right. According to my math. And I can't believe it, man. It goes by so fast. I can't believe we've already done almost 900 episodes of this show.

I know.

We're coming up on four years in the fall, I believe.

I think we started in the fall of 2021.

And you blink and about four years have passed by.

I'm sure you feel similarly about KSR.

Yeah.

I mean, you've been doing that for what, 10, 12 years at this point, right?

No, try 14. 14. Yeah. I'll start it in March of 2011. So now 14 years later, here we are.

Still going. And I still remember the story of you going into the boss's office right after the show saying, I can't work with this Matt Jones guy.

I can't do it.

No, no, no, no, no.
