Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show Monday, April 27th. It is Derby Week. And you can give us a call

in the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859-2-80-2287, or Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. You can be

that if you call in. And you can also text us at 502-265-66. Shannon-6-6-5-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6-6.

Billy Rutledge is over in Lexington. He'll be in Louisville later on this week where he's going to be at Churchill Downs, interviewing the jockeys, talking to the horses. You're looking forward to that, I'm sure, Billy? Yeah, the horses don't really talk back, but the jockeys do much better.

So I don't know much about the field yet. I'm going to lock in over these next couple days, and then maybe you can test my knowledge on Friday, dude, before the big day on Saturday. But it's derby week where you can buy a $20 drink and enjoy the horses, dude. Are you excited? About what? The $20 drink? It's actually $22. I saw somebody send the menu of Churchill Downs. $22 for a mint julep. $22 for a little. I can remember back when it was only $16 for a moutulip. Back in my day. My God. Like how many of those you think that? I guess people will still be buying them, much richer people than myself. But, you know, at some point, Billy, I'm just not willing to pay a certain price. There are things in life that I'm like, you know what, I don't need it. Like, first of all, I wouldn't give you two pennies for a mid-julip. but, like, you know, if you're out the track, maybe you want a beer and it's $18.

At some point, you've got to go, no, I'm just not going to do it.

Like, I can afford $18, but I'm not going to do it.

I'm not going to drink because of that.

You ever get to that point where you're like, no, I'm not going to do it. Like for me, toll bridges.

There's a toll bridge. You're not paying the toll. There's a toll bridge here and then 10 minutes down the road, there's another toll or another bridge with no toll. I'm going to drive 10 minutes out of the way just at a spite because I'm not going to pay your fee to go across that bridge. I can drive right away there. It's much faster. You're going to get there like 20, 30 minutes before you would on the other road.

No, it's like... pay your fee to go across that bridge. I can drive right over there. It's much faster. You're going to get there like 20, 30 minutes before you would on the other road.

It's like it's like maybe 10 minutes tops. Maybe. Yeah. So for me, I'm like, no, not going to do it. See, that's what makes the infield tough, man, because you want to have a party. or if you didn't bury a bottle of liquor there two weeks prior,

you're going to have to bite the bullet and spend the $16 on the beer.

But, you know, I'm not sure if there's anything that I'm not willing to pay for anymore. You know, those mint juleps, they're for the out-of-towners, right? People that are here all the time aren't buying. So you're good. So you're telling me Billy R. Sports good with $22 Lily drinks on Oaks Day. Yeah, well, I mean, Billy R Sports ain't paying

$22. That's on Oaks Day.

Yeah, well, I mean, Billy R Sports ain't paying $22.

That's what I'm saying.

That's what I'm saying.

He's got the hookup.

Like, we can find free drinks on that day.

Oh, you got the hookup.

People are buying you drinks?
