Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show. It is Wednesday, November 26th, day before Thanksgiving, live in Columbia, Kentucky at Don Franklin Ford.

And you come out today, they got all kinds of great deals out here. Listen to this, Billy.

Like I said, it's the day before Thanksgiving.

It's going to be the last KSR pre-show of the week. And you've got a big four-day weekend coming up, right? But you have to work, I guess, because we've got a game later on tonight. Yeah, we got a lot of, we got a game tonight. We got Battle of the Bluegrass Saturday, so plenty to do. but it's great to be here in Columbia at Don Franklin,

where I always love the people's faces who are just here to get their car repaired, and then they end up seeing a radio show. That's always a good reaction. Like, I just came from an oil change, and I get a free radio show to go along with it. You get three hours of yapping, whether you like it or not. That right but this is your town shannon i'm excited to be

here in columbia because this is where you went to college right well for one year you call it my town i mean i was barely here i came here for a cup of coffee you know i was at lindsay welson played baseball uh for one year i was already uh trading stories with one of the guys here at don franklin about one of my former teammates.

But Columbia, every time I come here,

it's very nostalgic for me.

I always make sure I take, you know, 10 or 15 minutes to go back through the old team. Take a lap. Take a lap through Lindsey Wilson, which used to be college. I notice now they've got a sign out there that says Lindsay Wilson University. did that happen recently a couple months ago okay

oh very recent yeah so now it's Lindsay Wilson University put some respect on their name

but I saw the the giant water tower that I've told you that as baseball players we were dumb enough

to think that we could throw a baseball over top of that water tower that was like 200 foot tall, maybe taller than that. But yeah, it's always good to come back here through Columbia. That's what I was going to ask you about, because I've heard this story many a time doing a radio show every day with this guy. He's only got so many stories. So when he bust out the, I threw a baseball at a water tower story. I've always remembered it. and so maybe I'll have to drive by and see that one, Shannon. Was there anything else to do in Columbia here?

Ooh. I threw a baseball at a water tower story. I've always remembered it. And so maybe I'll have to drive by and see that one, Shannon. Was there anything else to do in Columbia here? Not really. Not a whole lot back then. But I hear they've done wonderful things with the place. So it looks like maybe a few things have been added. But yeah, the big thing was to go up to five-star and get five-star chicken at night. Okay.

You know, like that was the thing that we did.

I have that. They had the best chicken at five-star for some reason. And we would do that and we'd go back to Horton Hall. We play a little ping pong, you know, maybe some pool. Yeah. And that was basically our nights. That sounds like college, man. It was also back when, I think, what, PS2 was really big.

Okay.

So, you know, we play a little Grand Theft Auto.

And that was the... It was also. It was also back when, I think, what, PS2 was really big. Okay.

So, you know, we play a little Grant Deft Auto.

And that was the way we spent our nights at Horton Hall. My one year here at Lincoln Wilson. Go to the gas station and get some chicken. Okay. I like it. Glad to be back here. And glad it's not Columbus, Shannon. I accidentally told Matt in the car

We were going to Columbus, not Columbia
