Welcome Countrywire Radio. I'm Bo. And I'm John David. Jay-D. Hey, Bo, good evening, man. Man, good evening to you. How are you doing tonight? You can't even ask me that with a straight face. You look at me. You know, I've got a Santa Claus hat on tonight, but I think I should be dressed as a Grinch, man. I mean, you know, I got the crud.

Yeah.

Yeah.

It's been a tough few days here. Freaking even had to shut the shop down for a couple hours Monday morning. It was difficult. It was the first time in the history of the shop or not. Probably not. It was the first time in the history of that week. Of that week? Yeah. For sure. Yeah. If you're watching live tonight, you'll notice Bo's standing another inch or two extra away from me tonight. Everything I've touched, he's doused with Lysol. You know, but, no, it's terrible, man. I woke up, uh, no, actually, I guess it was, uh, I guess it was Saturday night. I was feeling kind of queasy and then Sunday morning Sunday morning, well, gosh, even Saturday night, I was, I think my fever got up to 102. And man, we just, been trucking along. I'm almost convinced that the, the FDA put something in my Cheerios, like spiked them or something. Just to shut you down. Yeah, I think they're, they're gunning for us. You know what I mean? They know we're the voice of the pipe world and they're concerned about, about Christmas special. About the Christmas special and about what we're doing here at Country Square Radio. And so, yeah, I just want to tell our friends at the FDA, it's going to take a little more to bring me down. That's right. That's right. So, but yeah. What's the whole thing that the, uh, they're going to come shut our podcast down next week. Captain America was like, you know, if, if you, if you, if you die, walk it off, you know, it's kind of right. Exactly. Exactly. We're not going nowhere. Yeah, man. But you know, we're here and yeah, we sound a little raspy, but we're doing good.

You know, it's funny, you're getting sick all the time. I don't. Like, I never get sick. Like, I'm the guy that, like, you know, when I get sick, it, I don't know. And it's not like I live a healthy lifestyle. I eat junk all the time. You should ask my fiance. I mean, I eat just the most terrible stuff.

I never sleep.

And when I do eat, it's like once a day.

Yeah.

I can't tell you last time I exercised.

Like, I'm around, you know, pipe and cigar smoke all day.

And fresh air is a thing in the past.

I'm literally an adult babysitter.

Like, that is my job description.

And like, I never get sick, but for whatever reason, it caught up with me. So, yeah, here we are. And, you know, we're just trying to try to make a go of it. But no, man, you sound good. Things are okay. And the great thing is, you're going to make it. You say that you don't live healthily, but I'm telling you, man, with the, with your current look, you got the Santa Claus hat on,

you look like a much younger,

healthier Santa Claus.

So,

I think you do it.

Younger and healthier.
