The rest was made in China.

Now on with the show.

Welcome to Beyond the Ring.

This is Dale Hummel, alongside co-star,

Ryan Rash. Hello, hello, hello. Ryan, it's a snowy, icy, cold. The North is not

cooperating. Yeah, well, I've heard that, and I'm a little concerned because, like, on Sunday it's supposed to be negative one in parts of Texas, but I have to go, like, do a week-long county fair judging stint.

And so I didn't think I was going to have to go to, like, Sunday, but now I think I might have to leave early, so I make it up there. I don't know.

This is going to be a mess. It's going to be a mess. I haven't seen this cold of temperatures up here

for this extended of period. We're in the negative 5, 6, 7, 8 at night with wind. It's bad, and I don't, I don't see any

normality. Wouldn't that be, I mean, I miss it. I truly miss it. I have one step further towards

normality. Would you like to ask me what it is right You got your COVID shot, we know. I got my COVID shot.

It is good.

It is good.

I have been vaccinated.

I do have to get another one.

I do have my vaccination card right in front of me.
