Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show Tuesday, December 16th.

Nine days away from Christmas. The countdown is on. If you haven't done your Christmas

shopping yet, you got some work to do. A bunch of procrastinators, just like me,

waiting to the last minute to go out and get all my stuff done. Yeah, I'm talking to you. I know how

you are. Hey, give us a call on the Clark's Puppet phone line. 859-2-2-2-2-2-6-6-6-6-6-5-6. The KSR pre-show is being brought you by Italix-Fine. You can also, by the way, be our whiskey thief. Call of the Day. Billy R. Sports over in Lexington in the studio. What's up,

Billy? How are you, man? I'm good, dude. I need to pick up a lint roller when I go out and do my

Christmas shopping. I've got cat hair all over me right now. You bring in those cats. You don't

think about all the other ways they affect your daily life. Not only do you have to feed the

thing, you know, play with it, pay for all of its vet bills, then you've also got to walk around

with its hair all over you all day. Yeah, well, we had some snuggles this morning, so maybe I got a

little cat fur on me. Dude, I saw you had like an entire, like tower behind you the other day when you were doing the show from home. You had like a cat jungle gym. Is that what your house has turned into? Pretty much. A cat palace? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, don't even look in my garage anymore. We made some progress back in the day. That video that I've sent you doesn't even hold up anymore. But yeah, there's two of those jungle gyms in my house right now. And the one that you saw we put right next to the window. So he can kind of sit there and look outside and see what's going on, Shannon. I'm starting to learn cats are a little bit more vindictive than dogs. I tried to tell you that. They will hold a grudge. I tried to tell you that. They'll smack you in the face once or twice just for good measure. I don't know. There's just a different kind of like motivation or evilness with these animals. I'm just learning that day by day. Well, if you would listen to me every now and then, you would know this. We talked about

this before you got the cat. I tried to tell you that cats look at humans for one reason and one reason only. You're there for their comfort. You're there to feed them. You're there to be a scratching post if that's what they need. If they need to rub up against you because they're back itches, you're their backscratcher.

That's the way cats are.

And they don't care about you.

As soon as they, like, see you as not being able to provide them with some sort of service, they will just slap you in the face like your cat did you. No, I mean, he looked me right in my eyes and then started pushing the remote off the table. Yeah. And then the remote fell.

And then I got up and put the remote back.

And he would look at rewrite it again and just start pushing that thing off for no good

reason, Shannon.

So I don't know, just starting to slowly figure that out.

But you got a furry, you got a furry menace in your house.

And you're now a cat dad to where now your comfort is being sacrificed for the comfort of the cat.

You're right.
