Welcome, everyone. It is the KSR pre-show.

It's Tuesday, June 30th.

I'm Shannon the dude.

I'm in Louisville being joined by Billy Rettledge.

He's over in Lexington.

And you can give us a call on the Clark's Puppet Shop phone line at 859-2-80-2287.

You could be our Whiskey Thief call of the day.

And the Quadro Auto Group text line, 502, 265-66, 6656 on another scalding hot day out there, Billy.

When you wake up and it's 80 degrees already at 5.30 in the morning, you know it's going to be a hot day.

I saw that the feels-like temperature for later today is going to be 105.

So be careful out there, buckle up, put Put your phone down and make sure you hydrate because it's going to be a scorcher out there today, Billy. Well, I'm still wearing pants, dude. I think some people shame others for wearing shorts to the workplace. I don't know if you're one of those people, dude. Oh, I've got shorts on right now. Oh, you do. I don't care, man. Look, if I'm getting in here as early as I do, I'm just happy to be here on time. Okay, so I grab the first thing that I see. I don't care if it matches or not. I'll grab it. If it's in my, like, reachable, I'll put it on and go. I don care so that's what i do well i may have pants on

but i still have mismatched socks on oh yeah as we've learned i get dressed in the dark sometimes

that's where i draw the line that's where i draw the line even though nobody knows it but me i have to

have socks that match theater of the mind uh here on the ksr pre show but I like the old school Vandy hat you got on this morning. Did you just pick that up or you had that for a while? That's the baseball hat. The hat that the baseball team wore years back. It looks a little vintage with the V and everything. I know you're a big Commodore over there. I'll tell you, man, yesterday I was out in this heat, and I was doing some landscaping. I wouldn't advise it. But I'll tell you this. When you try to get somebody to come out and do your landscaping at your house, Billy, and then you see the quote, and it says $20,000, that will motivate you to put a shovel in your hand really fast. I go, you know what?

20 grand, I don't think so. I think I can handle this. I'll get a shovel. I'll have some rock delivered to my house and I'll start scooping and taking it over one scoop at a time.

So, you know, yesterday probably wasn't the best day to do that with the temperatures and the heat

being what it is. But at least I save myself like 17 grand.

My God, 20 grand. What are you doing? You're laying gravel right now? You got to like,

basically redoing my entire landscaping. So having like old shrubbery and stuff pulled out and

then the other stuff put in. So I paid somebody to come in and like yank out the bushes and shrubs because you don't want to get into that. Like if you don't have the right tools, that's a complete nightmare. So I paid somebody to do that, but I'm like, you know what? I can handle the rest of this. I can plant bushes. I can, you know, have some rock delivered and scoop that into the landscaping. So I've been working on that. That's been my home project here lately.

But I can... have some rock delivered and scoop that into the landscaping. So I've been working on that. That's been my home project here lately. God bless you. I mean, it's hot out there. You pick the worst week to do that. I mean, but it's got to get done, right? I mean, who's not going to do it if you're not going to pay somebody to do it? But farmer dude, you know, he's voyaged into planting seeds in his garden last year and now he's re-landscaping his whole yard.

I'm becoming a D.Y. I guess so. To the extent of which I can actually be a D.Y.
