He's over in Lexington and you can give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line. 859-2-2287. You can also send us a text at 502-265-66. Be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day, KSR Pre-Show. Being brought to you by Italics, fine Italian dining in Lexington. And really, we are getting closer and closer to football season. We had the UK Media Day on Friday. We'll get into that a little bit later on but first of all good morning how are you how was the

weekend good morning dude what's up it's uh 26 days away until kentucky football starts and

we had a pretty good weather weekend here in lexington a little cool outside some cloud coverage

i wish we could say the same about bristol motor speedway i'm sure we'll talk about that here

in a second but it was a good weekend enjoyed it, at one point, I was in the car and I heard stuck in the middle with you come on the radio and it was almost like a dog hearing a doorbell. I had to look both ways. And I was like, where am I? Is it time to do the show? It's weird how smells and sounds, things can transport you to a different place. And I got that a little bit this weekend with the little Steelers' Wheel. But what about you? How was your weekend, dude? It was great, man. It was a lot of fun. Actually, Saturday night was the Braves Reds game. At least it was scheduled to be able. We'll talk about that in just a minute. But I was going to miss it. I'm glad it was delayed until

Sunday because I was going to miss that on Saturday night because I went to a super secret

speakeasy. We've talked about speakeas before on this show. Ryan has a speakeasy that he goes to in

Lexington where it's invite only. And, you know, if you're not invited that you don't even know what's going on

but it was through cornbread hemp do you know about this were you invited to this or was not the only

one yeah no i was invited i completely forgot about it i need to apologize to eric and the in the

team at cornbread hemp because i would have really loved it by some of the pictures that you shared

shannon it looked like a really cool spot you guys were were like in like underground or like some cellar. So like first of all, you know, you had to be on this email list. So it felt very exclusive, right? And they told you they want you to dress up like the prohibition era, 1920s. So everybody had on like their old school suits and the ladies had on their flapper dresses and all that good stuff. And they had to show up at this random parking lot. And then when you go to this parking lot, you see a big, looks like an old school trolley, but it's like a bus, but it looks like a trolley. And before you get on the trolley, they say, all right, what email? What's your email?

And they go through the list.

Before you can even get on the troll, like I'm telling you, they took this thing serious all the way down to the details. So you had to, you know, you had to look and say, okay, there's your email. Okay, you can get on the trolley. And you sit there and you wait for a few more people to get on. and then they take off with the trolley.

They go down the street.

It's like a five-minute drive.

And they take it to this.

I mean, it's just just if you could drive by it i've probably

driven by it a hundred times and didn't even realize it was there but it's a big like stone wall

and there's just like an inconspicuous door coming out of this wall and it's underground right

but you can see it as you go by on uh on this street and they let us

off the trolley there and you go in and you got to have the secret password to get in and then once
