Hi, Kathleen.

Morning.

Good morning, guys.

How are you?

Good.

How you been?

Real well.

Oh, good.

It's unseasonably warm in Nashville, almost torn attic.

Oh, really?

Okay. What's the temperature there in Nashville right now? It was 75 when I went to bed last night. Well, cool. And it's about the same now. Yeah, it's very strange. It shouldn't be happening. My brother was deer hunting in a T-shirt in Missouri last weekend. That's not right. Yeah. Well, there's something going on there. What I love about your social media, Kathleen, is I love how you just like to go day drink. And you're in a different city. You'll go day drink. Have you ever been into a bar or a restaurant, whatever, having a beer at the bar, the day of your show or the day before your show and get recognized sitting there drinking? Oh, yeah. It happened last weekend. I met. I had an accidental lunch with Linda and Len. Don't ask me. Did they already have tickets to buy to go to the show or not? Oh, yeah, yeah. He knew who I was, yeah. And then he went and got his wife out of the car, and then they came back in, I thought they were just going to take a picture. Oh, no, no, food came, they ordered some more beers. It happens a lot.

Listen, I know you're too nice, but is it always, is it sometimes people overstay their welcome?

Occasionally, yeah, but you know, usually the people that do that are somehow friends of my relatives.

You know, and I issued out a mandate.

I'm like, look, you can bring crazy people, but you have to manage your people. You manage your crazies. Don't just dump them in my lap. Or like my cousin Mike, I did a show at St. Louis and went to the Weston Bar. He brought a crazy guy over, and he's like, hey, Kathleen, this guy really wants to meet you, blah, blah, blah. And then he comes back, he goes, how'd you like that? How'd you like that? How he dumped a crazy right in your lap? Okay, at least you owned it, and it made me laugh. He made me laugh. Where did you have lunch with this couple? Just the random bar, right? It was called the P-Skill. I'll never forget it. It was called the Peakskill pub and bar in Peakskill, New York. It was last weekend. Okay. Was it the day of the show? I know. Was it the day of the show or the day before the show? Oh, the day of the show. I had just gotten into town. Yeah, okay. And you like your, you like your beer.

I mean, they know, if you know me and it's a small town, you're going to find me.
