From the Clark Ford studio in Oxford, Mississippi, MBW Digital proudly presents the Oxford Exxon podcast.

I'd say thanks for tuning in, but why am I going to give you a round of applause for something that you're supposed to do, to be frank?

And now, here are your hosts, Chase Palm.

And broadcast school is really paid off.

And Neil McCrady.

I deserve to be on TV. Our God Ben Mintz with his fresh haircut,

joins from Hoboken, New Jersey today.

That's where he is.

Normally he's in New York.

Sometimes he's in New Orleans.

He's heading back to New Orleans here soon, but he's in Hoboken today.

Looking fly with his barstool hoodie and his new haircut. Look at you, man. If you told me you're going to be all looking all good, I'd have gone and gotten a fresh haircut myself. And I matched. Well, you know, I had a big trip last weekend where I went to LaBair's Lake Charles, which is my favorite pin property I think I think we have. And it's such a nice property that they got a barbershop in there. And so, you know, who am I to not go in there and take advantage of all the amenities we got? So I hit them up for a haircut and shave and, you know, I'm trying to look a little better. And I made a trip out of it, went to the, well, went to that awful Monday night game. God bless. That was a rough effort from New Orleans.

For sure. And yeah, got back up here, but doing good, you know, getting excited. You mentioned the New Orleans thing. I know I talked about it on here last week, but, you know, when I leave for the Christmas holidays, I'm not coming back and pretty excited about it. You feel like I gave it to. It was almost like a two-year business trip up here, you could actually say. You know, I really gave it two years to earn the opportunity I have now and just so excited about the next three years. And I'll be able to be around Oxford a lot more for big stuff too, being Nola. So it's, you can't say this, but I will.

Two years in New York would be literally all I could possibly stand.

Well, it was about it.

You know, I love Barstall and I actually like Hoboken.

Hoboken's great.

But the New York thing, look, if you're not making a quarter of a million dollars a year, which I'm not, even with whatever people think this job is, you're barely getting bought. Like, you don't understand the rent and the price of living up here is so much. Like, yeah, if I was making half a million dollars, it'd be awesome to live in New York but if you're not it's tough

so you know I'm excited I got the two three-year deal I got a raise and I'm going somewhere where

the money can go a lot farther and you know I'm almost 40 I got to start saving some money so

it's it's all positive you got to help me make some money here today let's see I got some strong

opinions this week.
