Welcome, everyone.

It is the KSR pre-show Thursday, June 11th. It's Shannon the dude. Give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859, 280, 2287. You can be our Whiskey Thief Call of the Day. The text line I do not have. So you can text it all you want. I'm not going to read it. So let me just go ahead and give it to you. Text Billy. he's not here, by the way. Quantreau Auto Group text line, 502-265. 6656. You can text Billy and tell him he should be at work instead of in Detroit at a bachelor party or whatever he's doing. So with Billy being out, I am bringing in the pinch hitter today. Mr. Mario Maitland over in Lexington.

He is going to be with me for the next couple of days, including tomorrow at Mike's Landing in Sulfur Creek, Mario. I'm looking forward to that, but thanks for jumping on here with me this morning. How are you? I'm good, man. Thank you for inviting me, man. I'm glad that I'm your first choice. Whenever Billy goes out, I'm your first guy. you shoot me a text and you know my answer.

I'm ready to do it.

I'm excited.

Yeah, glad to your first guy. You shoot me a text and you know my answer. I'm ready to do it. I'm excited. Yeah. Glad to have you here. And I'm sure that you sat up and you watch that Nick Spurs game, right? You didn't go to sleep. You didn't turn it off. You stayed with it the entire time, right? Of course. I mean, I was rooting for the San Antonio Spurs. That's kind of, that's not necessarily my team i'm a big lakers fan you know that but you know nicks my whole my entire family they're

all nicks fans are from new york oh yeah yeah they are so obnoxious when it comes to watch

the new york nicks in my apartment i have my mom's in town um staying with me for a little bit, and it's just

screaming the whole time.

That's all I'm hearing is a whole bunch of screaming, and I was so happy, Shannon, when

San Antonio was up by 30, and I could not believe when they blew that lead.

I couldn't believe it.

So before we get to that, you just said, though, your entire family is from New York,

they're Knicks fans.

How did you end up a Spurs fan?

So I'm not really a Spurs fan. I'm just rooting for the Spurs. You're defiant. I'm defiant. I'm defiant. My entire family, there are a whole bunch of Knicks fans. my brother still lives in Long Island, New York, and he's obsessed with the New York Knicks.

So it kind of feels good whenever, you know, the Knicks aren't doing so well.

I kind of just rub it in his face a little bit. That's kind of what I do. You may need to pick a different team to root for because, I mean, that was embarrassing last night, Mario, 29 point lead blown, the largest lead, largest comeback in the NBA finals, down 29 points. I couldn't believe it. I got to be honest with you. I turned it off. I go, this is over. It's two to two. And I didn't even know until this morning when I woke up, I Google Nick's Spurs, and I saw the final. I could believe it. The final score. I couldn't believe that's got to be. that can't be right. Are you serious? Like, how in the world did that happen?

And I was enjoying it. You know, when they were down by like 23 or 24 at one point, I almost got on Draft Kings.

And I was going to at least bet the spread.

I think at that point the spread was like 15 and a half live bet.

And I go, all right, well, it just feels like they're not going to lose by 15.
