And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italics,

That's where I'm at today,

where the first day of school traffic is flowing.

And if you get to late to work today,

maybe the boss should give you a pass

because everybody's out getting their kid to kindergarten,

dropping them off at the bus stop. Today is the first day of class for a lot of people today. Not for us, though. We are in session every day here at 9 a.m. on the KS.R. Prey show. Shannon, the dude is in Louisville. What's up, man? How are you? Yeah, I can tell schools back in Louisville, too, because of the traffic every morning. It's a fight for my life to get here on time. And now I've got to leave like an extra 10, 15 minutes earlier because of school being back. So, yep, welcome back to school, kids. Get back to work. Were you a bus rider back in the day or a car rider? They drop you off right at the front door of the school, or did you have to slum it through the rain and the snow? Yeah, I was a bus rider for a while. I mean, not, you know, then I got my license. Then I could drive

myself. But when I was in elementary. Elementary middle school, first year or two of high school,

I was a bus rider. Yeah, I never did it in grade school, but I did it in middle school and in high school, Shannon. And those are some great times. I'll be honest with you, hanging out with some friends on the bus, even though sometimes, I guess if it wasn't the JCPS bus route when you're getting home at 8 p.m. But I thought those were some of my formative times. We had some real problem children on my bus. Like they would just do like, they would do awful things, you know? Like this one guy would just take colored pencils. You know those colored pencils you had? Sure. Yeah. They would like take them and break them apart in little pieces and just throw them at cars going down the road. Oh, he's a menace. I'm going, man, like, you probably shouldn't be doing that. What the heck? You know, I'm just sitting back there just laughing at it the whole time.

Meanwhile, going down the road. Oh, he's a menace. I'm going, man, like, you probably shouldn't be doing

that. But I'm just sitting back there just laughing at it the whole time. Meanwhile, people going by are just getting their cars dinged up by this little brats color pencils. He's throwing out the window. They were always in the back of the bus. Oh, yeah. It was always the back of the bus. if people cause in trouble.

I had a guy give me a wet willy one time on the bus, Shannon.

I thought that was foul.

I mean, get your finger out of my ear. Especially after you just lick your finger and then sticking in somebody else's ear. Now you got their earwax on your finger. Like the joke's on you, dude. Like, what are you doing? That's disgusting. It's so funny's so funny looking back. Like, the school lunches and the lunch table, the cool table, or the dork table, or even the bus, man. It was just so, like, I don't know what the right word is. It's not rigid, but at the same time, there was like a class system to when you would go to school. and but wishing everybody the best as they go back today. The first day was always the best,
