I'm just, you know, I've been trying to find Buffalo Trace lately. I can't find it. We're back to that. The games they're playing. I don't know what's going on here. It's, you know, everyone's buying them for gifts also, right? It's Christmas time. You got a brother-in-law, you don't know what to get. A nice bottle of bourbon is always a safe gift, right? Even if they don't drink bourbon, they can re-gift it. But yeah, if you got any extra bottles laying around, I'll give you my address.

Just send them my way.

I went into two different liquor stores today trying to find it.

They both said, no, the one guy didn't even, he wasn't even polite about it. I said, hey, do you have Buffalo Tracy?

He goes, no.

I was like, okay, good talk.

Thanks a lot for that.

I appreciate that.

It's great you know those commercials

how you've become your parents which they're very funny right yeah oh I love those that guy is the

best dr. Rick brilliant commercials I emulate I identify with that and that happened to me the other day

two days before Thanksgiving at the liquor store and this young woman walked in and she was at the bourbon rack and someone said, do you need help? And she was like, no, I just need something to make a bourbon pecan pie. And she grabbed a bottle of mictors. And I jumped in. I was like, whoa, whoa, whoa, I'm sorry. Let's let's have a conversation. You're not going to buy a $90 bottle of bourbon if you need a quarter of a cup for you're not going to ruin a mictors in a pecan pie and i was like oh my god i'm that commercial i'm totally interfering in this woman's life unprovoked it was a man yeah but in that case i think you were a hero and not all heroes wear capes right? You save some precious bourbon for the rest of us, so look at it that way, all right? Thank you. It's great to see you, buddy. So the president said, he reiterated this a little earlier today. Energy prices are coming down. So I'll ask you, are they coming down? What's the deal? How are we looking? Gas prices are definitely down. I think the average right now is $2.94 a gallon.

I saw someone tweeted at me just a photo in Oklahoma. They paid $1.98 a gallon.
