Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show Tuesday, February 17th. I am Shannon the dude. I'm in Louisville, being joined by Billy Rutledge over in Lexington, and you can give us a call on the Clark's Pubbush Shop phone line at 859-2-2-287. That's 859-2-2-80-cats.

Your whiskey thief call of the day. You can also send us a text on the Quantrell

Auto Group text line 502-2656656. Yes, we are live today. Yesterday, we took off for President's

Day. That seemed to confuse some people. It seemed to make some people upset that we weren't here

on President's Day. But, Billy, that's a company holiday.

It's an eye heart thing. And I don't know about everybody listening, but when your company gives you a day off, what do you do? Do you say, nah, I want to go to work. No, you take the day off. Of course you do. So we are here. We are alive. Good to be with you, Billy. How are you this morning? I'm great, dude. We've got a lot to recap.

Valentine's Day over the weekend. Kentucky played over the weekend. They'll play again tonight.

But you're right. I had a great time celebrating our past and current president yesterday, Shannon.

And if I look on the text line, 502-265-66. Yesterday, most of the people on there are saying the exact same thing.

You're not part of the government, Billy. Why are you giving yourself President's Day off? Well, Shannon, I come from the School of Thought of Shannon the Dude, and I've got to follow the company holidays here. We're going to take that day off. Of course. I mean, I think anybody would. if you have a job that's off, who just voluntarily shows up for work on a day off?

Nobody does.

But people are yelling at us, Billy, like we owed them something. I'm going, okay, remind me how much are you paying a month to listen to this show? Oh, yeah, it's free. So yeah, clown. Make me a balloon. Get to work and start talking. Whoa, geez, Shaden.

Calling the audience clowns this morning. No, no, no, no. No, no. No, no. The crowd is saying to us, Okay. Listen, clown, make me a balloon. Why aren't you at work? Okay. Get to work. You're here for my entertainment. Yeah, what's my free content? Yeah, that's right. Anyway, it is

Fat Tuesday today.

What are we supposed to do on Fat Tuesday? Eat, baby. First of all, you can't say that. That's not politically correct. Overweight Tuesday. Oh, come on. Can we not say the F word? Can we not? Billy, you said it. I hope you met with a pH. You can't say that word.

Are we that sensitive?

Like, am I ruining your mindset for the day?

That F word on the radio.

But anyway, what are we supposed to do on this day?

Is this like the celebration of Mardi Gras?

This is where you like just indulge and eating everything in sight?

I mean, I hear about this every year, but I don't really know, like, what you're supposed to do on
