Welcome, everyone, to another edition of the KSR pre-show.

Today is Tuesday, June 23rd.

I'm Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the dude, and you can give us a call on the Clark's

Pumpet Shop phone line.

That's 859-280-2287.

Text us at 502-265-66-6.

That's the Quantro Auto Group text line. I'm glad to be back from the Bachelor Party in Chicago. My guy Shannon the dude, it's found a new co-host. Heard him hosting with Maggie Davis on The Leach Report this morning. Sounded good, dude. Yeah. It's good to see you. How you doing? I'm doing well. Good to have you back here. Tom had to run off to an appointment. So if you got any appointments that you need to go to, you're going to have to wait until after 10 o'clock. You're not going to leave mid-show. But good to have you back, man. How'd the bachelor party go? It was great. It was great. Chicago was awesome. The one mistake I made this morning, Shannon, was checking my email because

there's nothing like checking your email after a little vacation away, dude.

It's 200 emails.

Oh, my gosh.

See, I don't really check my email, but kind of do sometimes.

Like, I don't check it every day when I'm on vacation, but if I'm out for a week, I know that I don't want to come back to 200 emails. So I will check it like maybe once or twice while I'm gone to clear out the inbox. And, you know, just in case I miss something, you know, really important. So it's not so bad when you come back, right? Yeah, just clean out a little bit at a time. I'm Like, if I'm sitting here having my coffee looking at the beach, I'll open it up for like a minute and clear all of it out and then go right back to drinking my coffee on the beach. So I did the opposite. I mean, I barely used the phone this weekend and then decided to check the email five minutes before the show just started. So I'm a little scatterbrained right now. We got a lot going on that we'll get to today. But dude, I love Chicago. I don't know

how much time you spent up there, but a summer day or summer evening in Chicago, there was nothing

like it, man. The downtown was awesome. Wrigley Field was just incredible. To go to a baseball game

that's not the Reds where there's not open seats everywhere

and people not caring about the baseball, it was phenomenal.

I had such a great time at Regley Field, and not only the baseball and the environment,

but dude, the food.

Everywhere I went in Chicago, the food was incredible, whether it be deep dish pizzas or the Chicago dogs at Wrigley Field.

Now, the beer was $20 for one drink, but, you know.

Well, yeah, that's just about anywhere you go these days.

Oh, my gosh.
