Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show. It's Wednesday, October 22nd. I'm Shannon the dude,

and I'm in the Louisville studio. Being joined by Billy Rellage. He's over in Lexington.

And you can give us a call on the Clarks Pubb & Shop phone line, no matter where you are.

859-2-2-2-2-2-2-6.6.6.5.6. And the KSR Pre-show is being brought to you by Italics, fine Italian dining in Lexington. As I said, that's where Billy is, my co-host, who loves to make small talk on the elevator on his way up to the studio each morning. Did you run into anybody today,

or was the elevator clear when you got on there this morning? Of course. I mean, pre-show listeners

know that I've been struggling with this for over two years at this point. I've got to say a good

morning if somebody walked into the elevator and you all have a good one when they walk out every

single time. Today, we've got these weird elevators where you've got to press the button on the outside. And so somebody walks in through the door of where you would enter the elevators and then you have to go push the button. Well, Shannon, you know what I did today. I held the door so she could go push the button. And then she can join us in the elevator.

Too many times, Billy R. Sports has been in that elevator. And I have watched, have people watched me walk in and then not hold the elevator for me. Oh, that's me. Totally. Like, I'm trying to get there, man.

Like, hey, this thing will come back. It's not a one-way thing. Like, it'll come back in a minute.

I'm the opposite. If I see somebody that's not closed and they're trying to get on that elevator, I'm hitting the other button. You know, there's the door open button and there's the door close button. Yeah, I bet you would be. I'm pounding the close the door button. Even after we make eye contact, I'm like staring into your soul.

Like, please help. Hold the door. Hold the door. Like if I know you maybe, if I know you,

that's, I might do that. Otherwise, I'm pretty egregious if you do and you don't hold the door.

You're like, yeah, nah, not today. Not feeling it. Yeah. But that happens every day.

By the way, that style is looking funky this morning.

Oh, thank you.

You look like you just get punched in the eye by Mike Tyson or something. Yeah, let me see it. Let me kind of come in. Oh, I see it. Yeah, I can see you. Oh, yeah. That that'll look great. You're looking a little cock-eyed this morning. Yeah, I really am going to have to get the iPatch for the remote on Friday.

But that's pretty much what I did yesterday.

I appreciate everybody reaching out, giving me some remedies and, you know, showing me some stuff that I can get. But I just did warm compress all day yesterday. So hopefully it doesn't affect you, Shannon. Usually my beautiful face is probably something that helps you get up in the way. It's all good. You got a face for radio, especially. I've heard that before. Now, I want to go back to where you're at right now, the building that you're in, because as we mentioned, the building is up on, what floor is that? We're on seventh floor here at the city center. I've been there a few times, and it's got a really nice view from up there. I mean, you can look out, you can see a lot of the city and, you know, everything happening below.

It's much better view than what we get here at the 4th Street Live Studio.

But because of that great view that you have, you have, you can look down and see the rooftop of some of the smaller buildings.

And there's one in particular that seems to have a lot going on on this rooftop.
