Welcome to Country Squoir Radio on Bo.

And I'm John David. J.D. Hey, Bo. Good evening, man. Man, good evening to you, sir. How are you doing this? Man, I'm good. Merry Christmas to you. It's, uh, man, things are in full swing around here. They really are. Like, the Christmas season, in my mind, began this week and we'll go all the way to the new year. Yeah, you know, we talk about Black Friday and just all the insanity that comes right after Thanksgiving, but like, man, we're, like, I finally feel like we're in the thick of it. Yeah, it's just, it's just crazy. Everyone's got Christmas parties to go to. The Squire has its, uh, it's Christmas party this Thursday night, actually, the 15th, and that'll be a lot of fun. If you're in the Jackson area, free to come, starts at 6 p.m. And it's potluck.

People will be bringing food and strong drinks and all the other stuff. But yeah, man, it's just, it's just insane. Got a lot of people buying a lot of Christmas presents right now. And, you know, folks buttoning up on their, with their big coats and snow boots and all this kind of

stuff, even though we don't have any of that kind of weather down here. But, yeah, things are

great. Man, it's going to be good. Look, we're in full swing ourselves too. Tonight, we've got a

Christmas themed podcast, an episode very similar to what we did last year talking about Christmas

tobaccos, not to bury the lead. But we also, next week, we will actually have another

Christmas themed podcast episode talking specifically about Santa Claus, you know, in terms of

that's right, heroes of the bowl, you know, famous pipe smokers from both history and fiction,

Santa Claus is right up there.

And we've done some Santa Claus theme stuff before. We're going to take a fresh look at old

St. Nick. You know, he punched a saint once. He punched someone once, a heretic, actually.

Right, all right. I think it was on the floor of the Council of Nicaea. Well, there you go.

So that's your, that's your main point. actually. Right. All right. I think it was on the floor of the Council of Nicaea. Well, there you go.

So that's your, that's your, you know, main point that you should take from that is don't, don't mess with Santa Claus. There's a little teaser for what's to come. But yeah, so Christmas Tobacco is this week, Santa Claus next week. And then the week following, we are doing something that's going to be kind of special in that this upcoming Squire Christmas party, we are actually going to have some mics and we are going to gather up some general

community interviews. That's right. From listeners in the local area who will be very spirited

filled with the Christmas spirits and several Christmas spirits. We originally, well, I originally had this concept of, hey, let's do it live. Let's get a live feed going. Have the place packed out for the Christmas party. And I was like, that's a terrible idea. There are some characters that you have to be a little careful of in terms of, you know, you don't want to put them on live broadcasting. So one way or the other, we are

looking forward to that. And we've got a great plethora of holiday themed shows for you,

bringing you all the way through this Christmas season. Oh, yeah. Really excited about it.
