And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italics. Fine Italian dining in Lexington, Kentucky. That's where I'm at today, here high atop the city center. Shannon, the dude, is in Louisville. Got to see my man Shannon at Wild Eggs on Friday before the bi-week weekend. What's up, Shannon? How are you? Doing well. Doing well. Yeah, it was good to be there on Friday at Wild Eggs. I'm just wondering why we are here today because today is a national holiday. Do you know what national holiday today is? Is it Columbus Day today? Well, yeah, but I wasn't really, I was talking about another national holiday. I just looked up. Indigenous People Day. That's what you must be referencing.

Nope. The one I was wanting to celebrate was no braw day.

So I don't know why we're working today. That's a national holiday we should all be off for.

Well, in rock radio, maybe, Shannon. I still remember walking into the WKQQ studio with all the...

What would you call that?

Garments on the wall?

But there were bras hanging from the ceiling.

There was a lot on the walls and from the ceilings and all the signatures.

It was just different, a different vibe than the rooms that all have to look the same nowadays here at IHeartRadio.

That's right. But good to be with you again, dude. It was a great weekend for me without a Kentucky game, gave me some time to refresh and get ready to go. Meanwhile, I saw you singing with like a goat man or something over the weekend. Was that Alice Bluegown playing at the festival over the week? That's right. The goat man. We found him. We got the goat man. We held him down. We gave him a nougie. And he got up there and played Cal Bell during Kryptonite. The Three Doors Down song. He's like, I want to be involved. No, but it was, you know, I was a little bit hesitant to agree to play that show. But then after it got out there, and I was like, well, I don't know.

Like, will there be a lot of people bit hesitant to agree to play that show. But then after it got out there and I was like, well,

I don't know. Like, will there be a lot of people at a goat man festival? It was huge. It was a lot of

people. Oh my gosh. I was like, really? I was really surprised as to how many people came out there.

So if you were one of the people who were out there, thank you. And we look forward to playing our next show coming up. I get about a month from now to our next show. Yeah, those ABG shows, they're always a good time. If you haven't seen them, go check our guy out, Shannon the dude. He is a rock star, no doubt. I got to play a lot of golf, but we've got a lot to get to today, Shannon, whether it be the happenings in the college football world. I may have forgotten that we scheduled some soccer players to come into the studio later today. Yeah, what is this? Now, you scheduling soccer players, which I'm fine. I support Lexington FC. I'm happy with that. But I didn't know that we were going to interview players today. So you may be doing the heavy lifting on these interviews that you schedule and forget to tell me about. That's fine. That's fine. You know, Lexington Sporting Club is making a playoff push. They've got one game remaining at their new stadium here in Lexington. So we're going to talk to some of the guys on the team that'll be coming up at the bottom of the hour. But over the weekend, two big events for Kentucky basketball with Fan Fest and Big Blue

Madness, the return of John Wall and the same jumper that he was wearing doing the

John Wall dance back in the day.
