| 0:00.0 | Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show Tuesday, January 20th. We are live after taking yesterday off for MLK Day, and we want to hear from you, 859-2-2-2287 on the Clark's Puppen Shop phone line. You can also send us a text on the Quantrell Auto Group text line, 502-265-66-56. You can also be our whiskey thief call of the day. Shannon the dude in the Louisville studio on a frigid day out there. I mean, it is so cold. Billy in Lexington. And Billy, you know, normally you and I don't get to see each other on the weekend, but we did this past weekend at Bourbon and Bubbles. It was a lot of fun and glad you were able to make it out there. Yeah, man. It's good to see you again. If people could just hear what you say before the show goes on, the little few minutes that we have before we start the show, I give the people what they want. And then the show stars. I mean, Chan's just already got me worked up this one. I'm Ron Burgundy over here. Yeah, exactly. But I guess. Like seconds before we go on, I'm smoking a cigarette and drinking a bottle of scotch. And I'm like, all right, let's go. Yeah. No vocal warmups, but you are our own Ron Burgundy. But yeah, we got to hang out on Friday night at Bourbon and Bubbles. |
| 1:11.8 | I didn't partake much in the bubbles, but had plenty of bourbon. That was actually Saturday |
| 1:15.7 | night, believe it or not. Oh, see? Look at that. I mean, I already screwing it up. But had a great |
| 1:21.7 | time with Drew and Ryan made it out there and Mario. Everybody was there. Was Matt there? |
| 1:27.1 | No, I didn't see the big toe. Oh, okay. He was too cool for school. Too cool to come out to bourbon and bubble. I get it. But it was good to see the rest of the guys. A lot of fun out there. We had, according to the numbers, nearly 700 people come out to bourbon and bubble. So that was a huge success, first one they've done. |
| 1:45.5 | And I would like to think that we're going to do another one next year after as many people that came out for that. But you know, you guys came out to do, how many bourbons did you have? Or are you more of a bubbles guy? I know you're like a Moses. No, no, just said didn't partake in any of the bubbles, only did the bourbon. And when we walked in, they give you a big |
| 2:02.9 | chalice, right? It was like this really, I know you just said didn't partake in any of the bubbles, only did the bourbon. |
| 2:03.7 | And when we walked in, they give you a big chalice, right? |
| 2:11.0 | It was like this really nice glassware that most people carried around and used it to drink and sip the bourbon out of. |
| 2:12.2 | Well, I didn't take that. |
| 2:14.4 | That was probably a smart move on my part, Shannon. |
| 2:18.6 | Or, you know, we ended up sleeping there. So we just took the little sample cups from everywhere and had a good time. And then listening to you play the hits, |
| 2:24.9 | Ryan got up on stage at one point. I mean, it kind of, like we had the NFL playoffs going on |
| 2:29.6 | at that time. I was looking at my phone. Everybody's huddled around me trying to watch the |
| 2:32.8 | playoffs in that exciting Denver Buffalo finish. But shout out to everybody that put that on, not only our promotion staff or our sales team that's been working hard to get sponsors over the last few months and looking forward to next year, Shannon, because that was a hit and we got to do this again. I got to talk about Ryan coming up on stage to do Wagon Wheel with us because we've done this in the past. |
| 2:53.3 | You know, Ryan gets up on stage. |
| 2:54.5 | He sings Wagon Wheel. |
| 2:55.5 | He usually takes a shirt off. |
| 2:56.5 | He had a nice sweater on at Bourbon and Bubbles. It was a classy event. Classy event. So I asked Ryan, like, hey, if you want to come up on stage to do wagon wheel with this, you can do it. |
| 3:05.6 | But don't take your shirt off at this one. |
| 3:07.6 | Like, we're in a nice ballroom. |
| 3:09.6 | Like, some people have ties on. You know, a lot of people nicely dressed. We don't need Topoulos, Ryan Lemon, bringing the show to a screeching halt. So he did keep his shirt on, but because he kept a shirt on, I think it screwed him up. He forgot the lyrics to Wagon Wheel. The vibes were off. There was a moment where he forgot the second verse, and he asked me, hey, what's the words to the next verse? I'm thinking of you, I thought you were the expert. You're the Darius Rucker superfan.
