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

Today is Monday, July 27th.

I am Billy Rutledge and no Shannon the dude this week.

He is off on vacation time.

So we're going to have some special guests in studio throughout the week.

Give us a call today on the Clark's Pump and Shop phone line.

That's 859-280-2287 or Texas at 502-265-66. That's the Quantrell Auto Group text line.

A lot to discuss over the weekend. But this week, our goal is to get to know some, I guess, some figures in the UK sports media world.

We're going to be having people come in to the studios and speaking with them as we inch closer to football season.

Still a lot going on, but we will have plenty to talk about with our guests.

And our first guest today is no stranger to the KSR pre-show.

He's been a co-host in the past.

And every time we have a guest hosts, he usually

submits an embarrassing photo of said guest. We get to flip the tables a little bit today and

post an embarrassing photo of him. It is Corey Price of the UK Sports Network joining me in

studio. Good morning, Corey. How are you? Doing great, Billy. I think that picture of me looks pretty

good. I think it's my first birthday, maybe second, but I don't think it's that embarrassing. But I will give a shout to Shannon the dude. I'm glad he's taking one of his 12 weeks of vacation so I can get a chance to be on this show. I appreciate it. Well, I'm not an internet sleuth like you are, Corey. I had to ask for a little bit of help to get that photo. But we did post a photo of a young Corey Price back in the day. A little cake on his face, but we can understand that as a one or a two-year-old. Yeah, shout out to Shannon the dude for one of his many vacation days. But you're doing the right thing as a guest host coming in bringing donuts for the office. That's a savvy veteran move there by you, Corey. Done a couple of times. You know, it's a good segue to being a good guest, bringing some donuts. Hopefully you'll have one or two or 12. Oh, I'll have one. It's North Lime Coffee and Donuts, who used to be the title sponsor of the pre-show. So even more historical knowledge there from you. Corey can be followed on X

at Corey P. 08. I'm guessing 08 is when you graduated college. Is that right, Corey? That's right,

from the greatest school ever, UK. University of Kentucky grad. Part of the UK Sports Network. He's the

football statistician, and he's on the game day staff for UK athletics.

You have a really amazing story that we'll get into a little bit, Corey, but you're also

my bowling buddy.
