And as always, the KSR Pre-show is brought to you by Italics, Fine Italian Dining in

Lexington, Kentucky at the city center. I am not there today. I am in Buffalo, New York, set up in

the dining room of a nice Airbnb. Get ready to head back to Lexington after KSR later today

with Matt, Drew, and Mario. It has been a trip, kind of my initiation into the KSR road trip after eight years. Shannon, the dude, is back in Louisville. You've been on these trips before, Shannon. Are you missing out? Do you feel a little fomo this morning? Absolutely not. I am happy to be here in the studio in Louisville. I'm glad I did not take that trip. But first of all, I've got to ask you, Billy, if you have another headset that's on, turn that down because I'm getting an echo coming back to me. But I'm also hearing like a weird like reverb going on to where you're at. So I mean, I'm asking, are you broadcasting from the bathroom this morning?

Or, like, where are you in the house? No, I'm in a dining room. So are you telling me this audio is not good enough to broadcast? No, it is now. It is now. I think you had like an open mic somewhere. It sounds good now. You're okay. Okay. So, okay, I got so many questions. First of all, you're at the Airbnb that we talked about, the sleeping arrangements.

We were talking about it on Friday. got so many questions. First of all, you're at the Airbnb that we talked about, the sleeping arrangements.

We were talking about it on Friday that you were going to have a bunk bed all to yourself,

so I need you to tell me right now, which one did you sleep on, the top of the bottom?

I slept on the bottom, Shannon.

So you're officially a bottom guy.

Billy's a bottom guy. Breaking news, everybody. Bottom on the bunk bed Shannon. So you're officially a bottom guy. Billy's a bottom guy.

Breaking news, everybody.

Bottom on the bunk bed guy. I tried the top and, you know, just wasn't feeling it. Have fear heights up there too high? Yeah, it was just a little too high off the ground. So we went on the bottom. But nobody else used the bunk bed. So I had options. and, you know, here's the dilemma we find ourselves in right now, Shannon.
