Italian dining in Lexington Kentucky but we've hit the road today for another Friday remote

and it's my first time here at the Kentucky Mountain Laurel Festival what about you Shannon

is your first time you say this is the 95th? 94th. I'm more of a

94th type of guy. I want to make sure that you got the festival down like 93 times before, you know, to make sure it's good.

And then 94th time, I'll come and hang out. So here we are. Here we are. I'm sorry to be here.

Absolutely. Just met the mayor. They're going to shut down the street here soon. They got all these carnival and food

vendors lined up. These open at 10 o'clock, Shannon. So it looks like we're about to have a good

time. Which one you're going for? You're going for a funnel cake. You get the hot dogs over here.

The deep fried Oreos. That sounds good. Yeah, I'm not normally a deep fried guy, but I got to indulge and get a deep fried Twinkie, right? I mean, I've only,

I only eat one at every game that I run a broadcast for. If you're willing to eat a COVID

Twinkie that we have in our studio that's been in there for five years, I think you've got to get

a deep fried Twinkie. That's right. And thank you to Tony. You just keep sending me boxes of ho-hoes and twinkies to the studio shanan i'm going to be fat the next time we come out to the mountain laurel festival but uh last night shannon the dude stayed at what was it the state park resort

yeah last night how was it was nice yeah i got here about midnight uh drove up after ovw so it was

a it was a long three hour drive for me but um you know you don't really get to see the beauty of this part of the state when you're driving at night, but this morning I wake up and you get to see the mountains and the sun's coming out now. It's warming up out here. So it's going to be a really good, really good day. Hopefully a good weekend here too for everybody. Absolutely. KSR will be here a little later today. The centerpiece of the festival,annon is the queen's coronation and that's held
