Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show Monday, June 1st. I'm Shannon the dude being joined by Billy Rutledge, and you can give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line.

859-280-2-287. Be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day.

Quantrell Auto Group text line 502-265-66. Back in here with you on a Monday, a lot going on over the weekend, a lot to get to.

But Billy, this morning, was the first of many days of the I-65 shutdown. I know that doesn't affect you in Lexington, but I know we're on in a lot of different

markets where you're like, okay, who cares? But Louisville's our biggest market, and it's going to affect a lot of people listening to this show this morning. And I just wanted to talk about it for a minute. Billy, how are you doing, by the way? I'm great, dude. I've been waiting for this traffic report. We'll get to the weekend in just a second. But how was it? I mean, how long was the delay in the drive for Shane and the dude to get into work this morning?

All right. So honestly, it wasn't that bad.

Oh. I promise you. It was, okay, it was not that bad at all. Like, for me, it added probably an extra five minutes on to what it normally takes. I will tell you, Billy, that I have had, I've been stuck in worse traffic when 65 North was open than when I had this morning. And maybe it's because there's no school going on. It did take me in a different direction that I've never been before, but now I may start taking this route. And look, I'm not trying to like undersell it, but I'm also not going to overhype it.

I'm just going to give you my personal experience.

That's all I can speak of. Like, we're all going to figure this thing out as we go throughout the summer over the next couple of months. but for me, Billy, I was expecting, you know, based on all the hype, you know, they get all the local news channels are out there and they've got their hard hats on and their safety goggles on and they're out

there, you know, on 65, like it's, you know, it's Armageddon or something for traffic.

And all this hype and I'm going, all right, this is going to take a long time. I gave myself an

hour to get to work this morning.

And like I said, there was maybe a couple of times like getting on to the ramp initially where I was in traffic for maybe two minutes.

Then once it got going, no problems at all. So maybe it, you know, that was in the 7 o'clock hour.

Maybe at this point the traffic is ramped up and maybe it's worse now.

Maybe it'll be worse this afternoon. But for me personally coming in, Billy, not that bad at all. I was really surprised. But you're up and at it early, right? Like, what time are you coming in to work? Is that like 630-ish? You're on the road? Well, today, see, Jerry Eves did a best-of show. he ran a best-up. So I didn't have to come in until 7 o'clock today.

Wow.

Sleeping in.

Yeah.

Got to sleep in until 620.

Wow.

Normally, I am on the road about 620 and in here by 7.
