Welcome everyone to another edition of the KSR Pre-show.

Today is Friday, August 15th. I am Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the dude.

You can give us a call on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line. That's 859-2-2-2-2-267 or Texas at 502.

2656. The KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italics, Fine Italian Dining right here in Lexington, Kentucky.

And today, we are on the Kentucky Office of Highway Safety, KSR Safe Summer Driving Tour.

We are on location at the Kentucky State Fair.

I'm with my co-host, Shannon the dude. What's up, dude?

Oh, like I said, man man this is my Super Bowl I love

the Kentucky State Fair you were just asking me before we went on the air how many times have

we been out to the state fair it's been a while you mean the show or me because if you're

asking me I think I've been out here at least 43 times over the years probably more than

that because I was just saying before we went on talking over here to the folks of the K-H-HP about some of the concerts coming up and I'm going to be out here I think four times just this year. Wow. So this is one. All right. Tomorrow night is Blue Oyster Colt. That's right. B.O.C. so I'll be the MC for that. I'll be out there. And there's Kentucky, too, already rolling in.

See, this is what you don't get on a normal friday. You get Kentucky Joe, you get all the sights, sounds, and smells of the Kentucky State Fair. But anyway, BOC's tomorrow night. I'll be emceeing that. Then Sunday night is the big 90s country show with like Sammy Kirschall, Colin Ray. Who am I missing?

Aaron Tippin.

We were just going through all the Colin Ray songs we could think of.

Yeah. show with like Sammy Kershaw, Colin Ray, who am I missing, Aaron Tippin? We were just going through all the Colin Ray songs we could think of. Each one of us had like one apiece, so we could think of three. And then I got a couple of other rock shows next week as well. So I'll be out here at least four times this year, and I absolutely love the Kentucky State Fair. Happy to be here this morning. Yeah, I think it's the third or fourth straight year. We've done it as a show. I think we've done it every single year, but you're right. I've gone many a years before the pre-show was a thing. It's a great tradition in our Commonwealth, there's no doubt. And today we are with the Kentucky Association of Health Plans, giving away free Kroger gift cards to the first 250 attendees that received their flu shot here at the Kentucky State Fair.

So come here 10 to 5 p.m. every day during the state fair here in South Wing B, where you can come hang out and see us, Matt, and the guys will be along later today.

There's just something for everybody here at the fair, right? I mean, you can go on the rides if you want to, you know, defy death at times. You could also go in the games if you'd like to win a prize for your sweetheart. Maybe you're just here for the good food, Shannon. I think everybody can find something they'll like here. Talk about defying death. Go eat a donut burger and try not to have a heart attack. The cholesterol coming from that, no doubt. The great thing about the donut burger is you eat one of those, and you don't have to

eat for the rest of the week because that's your entire week's worth of calorie intake in one meal. That's what I love about the donut burger. But, of course, you got the Kentucky pork producers, which we always go out. Oh, that's our tradition. After the show, we're going to go grab a pork chop

And then maybe jump on one of those rides

Go up and talk to Freddie Farm Bureau, the big giant statue

Who's been here every
