A beard. A beard. It's been a fun week. It has been a fun week. And the holidays are coming up so we got a bunch of other stuff going so now it's really hectic. Oh yeah. It's fun knowing it.

Yeah, it is. First and foremost we want to thank all of our military and civil servants all over the world no matter which country you represent. Thank you guys for what you do.

Yes, we appreciate you guys so much and we're thinking about you. No one you're not here with your families and everything. But thank you for keeping us safe and we love you guys and pray for you every night.

Tracy is usual. We want to bring up the fact that it's extremely tough this time of year for people that are suffering battling depression and I used to turn battling and there's been a meme floating around and we posted this already a couple of times because that's what you do depression.

You don't suffer from it. You battle it every day and you try to kick its ass. Yeah. And some days are harder than others and sometimes you need extra help and that's what we're here for. That's what the groups there for. We're here to help.

Yes, we are. We want you guys to please reach out to us the group. You know, if you just need to have somebody listen to you. We're here for you and we'll do our best to guide you along the way and show you all our love because we love you.

Yes, definitely tougher through the holidays for a lot of people. So if you need that support, we're here and so is the group. And if you'd rather talk to somebody that's a little more of a stranger than you can always call the suicide hotline, which is 1-800-273-8255 or you can text them at 7-41741.

I know we always give out those numbers, which are strictly for the United States, which you know 85% of our listeners are in the United States, what does apply. But if you're not, you know, within the United States, you know, we don't have everybody's number unfortunately, but we do have access to everybody to come join the group and get some, you know, little extra attention there if you need it.

Man, do you all ever get a lot of love shown your way anybody and everybody that comes to that group. And we've said it a million times or so very proud of you guys and this is so happy that you're a part of our family. We can't thank you enough.

Yeah. And as usual, this episode is brought to you by El Yucataco Hot Sauce. The number one having an Earl hot sauce in the United States, number 10 out of all hot sauces. It is the King of Flavor hashtag King of Flavor. Oh, you could take all hot sauce.

It is. And guess what we had it on you tell me you should know you ate about 20,000 of them meatballs.

We had them in some meatballs. I never thought I would put hot sauce on a meatball. Man, it's so good. And no, there's a lot of if you guys look up it up online. There is a lot of good recipes to use this sauce on. There's a lot of

you know, alcohol beverages you can use this and I mean, it just is never ending. We handed out at the book signing. We just did we had some little booklets that had recipes.

Yeah, it's so good things that you would never think of. I know. I mean, I used the Chipotle and never because Chipotle is got that smoky flavor to it. And it's actually one of those. It's this second least hot out of all of them. So even if you're not a hot sauce type person, this is something just as a little flavor to it.

It's a little thing to sing a little. Now you can get yours at most major groceries such as Target or Walmart. And if they don't have it, go to you could take a calm and don't forget if you use the promo code Hilbaly Horror or one word, you get 10% off of anything in the store.

Nice. Nice.

All right, Tracy. All right, I got one thing to say. Yes. That that on wind about blew my weave off today. Like seriously, all off on my head.

Well, you know, everybody not listening had that bad wind. Well, I think a lot of people had that dang bad wind. And I'm just saying my hair put up a battle today, but as long as it didn't blow the blue dial off.

Not which I'm shocked. I was winding my phone out there today. But anyway, go ahead. That was fantastic to break into the story for.

And as an extra special bonus after we finish this story, we've got Jerry Hepburn coming on and he's going to tell us about the battle of Los Angeles. You guys are going to love that.
