Shannon the Dude is in Louisville. I am in Lexington after a weekend of actually good Kentucky

sports that we'll get to today, but I don't get to talk to Shannon the dude during the

breaks because of some issues going on this morning. How are you holding up over there, dude? Can you hear me now? I can hear you. Can you hear me? I got you. All right. That's good. That's a good step. I got you, babe. That's good. It's a good start. First of all, yeah, thanks to Quantrell Auto Group for sponsoring the text. How did you say it? Say that again.

I want to make sure we get the name right. Quantrell Auto Group. Yeah, big thanks to those guys for being a part of the show. Now, I'm just happy the show is on the air with what I've been dealing with the last couple of hours, Billy, to peel back the curtain a little bit. we've had all sorts of issues this morning trying to get this show on the air, trying to get callers on the air. Yeah, I heard Tom call it a miracle when he was able to hear his guest earlier this morning. I feel like I've been juggling on one foot this morning. It's been an absolute mess. So we're just keeping you on your toes, too. So if you call in on the pre-show, it would probably be best if you call it in during a break. Don't try to call in when we're on the air because if somebody calls in and I try to answer it, I don't know what's going to happen. Like this studio might spontaneously combust. It might. I'm not sure. Yeah, you said, like, I'm going to be able to hear you talking to a caller, theoretically.

Yes. bust. It might. I'm not sure. Yeah, you said, like, I'm going to be able to hear you talking to a caller, theoretically,

if that doesn't go over the air?

Yeah.

Because I am hosting and effectively trying to produce the show at the same time,

you know, most shows, I would say 100% of shows have a producer.

This show does not. So because of that,

then I'm having to deal with everything. Well, that's part of the charm, right? No, it's not. The charm has been long gone for the listener. No, there's no charm. The show is the least charming show that

ever existed. Oh, come on. Come on. It's just what you want on a Monday.

But glad to be with you again, dude. Like I said, we'll have some positive sports to talk about today,

including the college football national championship game being set. But how was your weekend?

Do you get into anything fun after our cornbread hemp show on Friday? I did actually yesterday,
