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

Today is Thursday, June 25th.

I'm Billy Rutledge, along with Shannon the dude.

You can give us a call on the Clark's Pumpet Shop phone line.

That's 859-280-2287 or text us at 502-265-66 for our 1,162nd episode.

It's amazing.

We've been going for that long.

It's amazing.

You've tracked it.

Yeah, five years, really?

Believe so.

October.

Yeah, October 2021 is when we started.

Wow.

Can't believe we don't hate each other yet, dude. How have we made it this far? But glad that you're going to be with us today. We are halfway to Christmas, 183 days until Christmas, Shannon. We are officially the halfway point. Will you listen to maybe a little Christmas music today to celebrate? No, but I did see, isn't it like Amazon Prime week or day or something like that recently? Maybe that's over. I don't know. I'm not a big prime shopper usually, but maybe if you're thinking ahead, it's the time to go shopping now. You know, you just got to find a place to hide it for the next six months, I guess. But, you know, if you got space for that, maybe it's a good time to buy. I feel like you probably get taken advantage of if you wait to the last minute. They're going to jack the prices up on you. Oh, no doubt, no doubt. You can skip the swarms of people, you know, one of the best Christmas movies. Is it Christmas since in July or the old claymation one with Santa Claus where he has to ride the reindeer right of July. Yeah, I wasn't a fan of that. Yes, I know what you're talking about. And they brought in all these other characters and stuff. I'm just a fan of the original. The original Rudolph, the Reddorf, reindeer, claymation. Wouldn't that come out like the 60s or something like that? It had to. It had to be. With the elf that wanted to be a dentist and the abominable snowman, right? Yukon Cornelius. You con Cornelius. That's right. He would always lick that pickax. Did we talk about this? The reason he licks the pickax? Why does he? Oh, he's looking for gold, right?

Yeah, but he's,

I know he's looking for nothing.

He's looking for peppermint.

Oh, I didn't know.

I thought he was always looking for gold when he did something like that. But I think he licks it because it's, uh, he's trying to taste to see if there's any peppermint on that picket.

1964 when Rudolph came out.

So you're not a heat miser guy.
