Welcome, everybody. It is the KSR pre-show. Wednesday, June 4th. I am Shannon the dude.

And you can give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859-280-2287.

Your whiskey thief call of the day. And you can also make sure you check out Italics.

Find Italian Dining in Lexington.

They are the title sponsor of the KSR pre-show as always.

And Billy is out all week, so we continue to go to the bullpen and bring in different guests each and every day throughout the week.

And today, well, it's Mario Maitland who is joining us from Lexington, live in the studio there. And Mario is here. He's

on time. Unlike Ryan yesterday, you're here and you're ready to go. How are you, Mario? I'm

doing well, man. I'm pumped up for today's show, man. I don't mind being on KSR pre-show, man.

One of my favorite shows.

I'm pumped.

Glad to have you here.

You know, I said that Ryan was late yesterday.

That's actually two straight days in a row that Ryan wasn't ready to go at the start of the show.

What's going on with all with time?

I think that's that inconsistency that you were talking about Mario. He's still inconsistent, isn't he? You've highlighted that in the past. And, you know,

when you first said that that night in Seattle after you done the high amount of fireball shots,

I thought you were just rambling, but it turns out it's true. You know, they say the truth

comes out when you're drunk. And I think it's true that Ryan was not consistent in not here the last two days.

I definitely took a lot of drinks that night.

And like you said, when you're a little tipsy, the truth kind of comes out.

And, you know, I love Ryan Lemon, but, you know, I was just being, I was being honest.
