Today is Wednesday, July 22nd.

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

Give us a call in the Clark's Pumpin Shop phone line.

That's 859-280-2287.

You can text us at 502-26566.

That's the Quantrell Auto Group text line. Join the show. I've got Shannon

the dude in Louisville, but I can't see him. He's in a different spot today since he's hosting

KSR a little later today. He is not in the producer chair. He got to sleep in this morning. So I don't,

I'm a little flustered technical difficulties this morning.

Shannon the dude wasn't with me.

Now he's here. Is he here? You calm down, man. It's okay. You're going to be just fine. I promise you. You know, we should be used to this by now. Things not working around here? When have things ever worked? But now I'm here with you. And, you know, we have gotten spoiled over the years with technology being able to see each other.

You know, I think... things ever worked but now i'm here with you and uh you know we have gotten spoiled over the

years with technology being able to see each other you know i think most people know that listen

to the show that you and i aren't uh usually in the same studio or the same city for that matter

you're over in lexington i'm in louisville that's. But we pull up this, you know, great app called

teams. We can look at each other. It's almost like we're here every day, but today we don't have that. But though, we'll make do. We'll be all right, young sportsmen. You hang in there. You keep your head up. Yeah. Yeah, I'm here. We're ready to go. You sound thrilled. You I am. No, I'm fine. I'm fine. I just played a little Colin Cowherd this morning on the Leach Report since our phone lines didn't work.

Oh, our'm fine. I'm fine. I just played a little Colin Cowherd this morning on the Leach Report since our phone lines didn't work.

Oh, our phone lines. You could have told Rick the phone lines didn't work. Well, you mean I could tell Rick. The phone lines worked fine yesterday. Well, anyway, I got a gift for you, Shannon.

I don't know if you heard at the end of KSR yesterday.

Well, since you are hosting KSR today, you might be able to work this into your content today.

We have 10 tickets to give away to the Barry Manilow show at Rupp Arena. Oh, thank God. Yeah. I mean, how about that? I mean, it's a good thing the phone lines do work. But you know what? After I announced that we have Barry Manolo tickets, the phone lines will probably break because so many people will be trying to call in at once. It will probably just overload the system and it will, it will glitch out. Barry Manelow, that's in her, what did I ever do to deserve that, Bill? Thank you for Barry Manalo tickets. You just been a great mentor and friend to me over the years, and I said, how can we make Shannon's Day hosting KSR the best possible way, best possible way to do it? And you love to put on these games and stuff and give away tickets. So I thought, you know, we've got Barry Manelow tickets. Why not? Could it be magic? Maybe a little looks like we made it i mean are those barry manelow songs i
