And as always, the KSR pre-show is brought to you by Italics. Fine Italian Dining in Lexington, Kentucky at the city center. It's Friday, so we're on location. We made the drive to Glasgow, Kentucky, here at the Ashley Furniture Outlet in Glasgow. Shannon, the dude is alongside with me. What's up, dude? This is the most comfortable I think I've ever been for a remote in KSR history. Like we're just sitting here at the dinner table right now, these nice, comfy chairs. We're surrounded by mattresses and couches. You know, like this is a really comfortable place. I don't want anybody nodding off and falling asleep during our show, though. We're going to feel disrespected if I look over anybody's sleeping on the couch. Well, look, I've got one hour of radio to do, and then you might find me on one of these mattresses.

Uh-huh. our show, though. We're going to feel disrespected if I look over and anybody's sleeping on the couch. Well, look, I've got one hour of radio to do, and then you might find me on one of these mattresses. Just Nick, taking a little quick cat nap. We got a late game tonight against Gonzaga. Shannon, I'm somebody that needs a couch, so maybe I'll look around a little bit here as we try to find something a little bit more comfortable than what I got at home. Well, that's great because they've got no interest until December of 2030.

Think about that.

Only five years, no interest on all premium mattresses.

You can save up to $800 on adjustable sets, 24 months, 0% with no minimum purchase.

All the best mattress brands under one roof right here at Ashley Furniture.

And all KSR fans receive a free $25 MasterCard for taking a test rest in the Ashley's mattress. Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait. You may not just lay over here and take a nap and they give me $25. I get paid to nap. What? That may be one of the best things we've ever done. Why would you not come out here and just try that and get $25? They say sleep is what a third of your life, Shannon? So he might as well get something.

Well, I mean, those of you who sleep eight hours a night. Do you sleep eight hours a night? Not even close. I mean, I'm probably clocking five hours on a good night. I get six, but it's rare for me to get to eight. Anybody get eight hours a night? She does. There's one.

One person.

That's good. You've got to get your deities. That's right. You've got a clean conscience, too. You go to bed with no worries, and you lay there and sleep for eight hours. There's a million things going through my head. And you've got to get up to watch the Today Show. I mean. No, that stopped a long time ago.

What, with Jerry Eves?

When Jerry, when I When Jerry started producing my eighth radio show of the day, his show starts the same time as the Today Show. So, yeah, I'm not able to do that anymore. Well, you should just throw a TV screen on when you're doing the show there. But I'm glad to be in Glasgow. I love this area of Kentucky. Bowling Green's not too far away. I believe this is Barron County. Is that right? Okay. Yeah. I passed the dinosaur near dinosaur landshad and it just spracked back all the memories. Kind of like when we were near Lindsay Wilson the other day. So yeah, a good two and a half hour drive here today, right? Yeah, it was a long one. For me, it was about an hour and a half.

You know, like there's things in life that have simple explanations that I'll just tell you. I have no idea how it actually works and why it is. But on the way here today, I sat in traffic between Mount Washington and Shepherdsville for like 20 minutes. and I'm like, okay, well, there's got to be like some construction or a bad wreck or something holding all this traffic up, right? So I'm saying, I might be late today because this GPS is saying I'm going to get here at like 905. Or I guess we're on central time here, right? 8.05. 8.05. But regardless, I was going to be a couple of minutes late to the show it looked like according to the the gps so i sit there and i sit there finally traffic starts slowly moving i get

all the way to the front there's nothing there how does that work where traffic is backed up so

far and there's nothing at the front that's backing up traffic no again i'm sure I'm sure there's a simple explanation. And somebody that's like, you know, works in traffic could probably give me a good explanation. But I just don't understand. I mean, my conclusion I came to is that people are just complete idiots and don't know how to drive. That's the explanation. Well, it definitely makes it worse, right? Like when you get all the way up there after waiting in traffic and there's nothing there. I'm like, I was backed up for this. There's nothing there. What's going on? Exactly. Well, we're glad you made it here. You beat me here. So, I mean, obviously the traffic wasn't too bad. Kentucky takes on Gonzaga tonight, but before we get into the game, Shannon, I did want to talk a little bit about Will Stein joining KSR yesterday.

Has the Billy Confidence, I think, and we got a lot of news with the football program yesterday with them hiring an offensive coordinator and possibly a director of recruiting.
