Well, friends, I just kicked my fucking crocks off.

Took them off my feet and kicked them aside.

Usually when I do that, I kicked my boots off or my crops or what the hell I'm wearing. I do that because I know I'm

going to talk for a minute and I don't want behold me rocking back and forth standing up to this microphone to pick up so much the sound of my shoes.

Like I said, I know I got a lot of my heart that I want to say.

I take my shoes off. So I want that to paint a picture for you.

What's to come?

As you're hearing this right now, it's January the 15th, 2022.

And the reason I'm including the year is because I believe with everything in me, this show right here is going to be one that people will go back to

Because I know I'm going to and I've I want it to paint a picture

What was going on in my life in the mid to early days of January in 2022. This past week as you're listening to this right now like I said it's a Saturday a week ago today

My brother James Reed, and our brother Cody Lee Meese and their friend, old sister Stephanie come down here.

From Lexington, Somerset area down to Dingus, West

Virginia to not do a show, that was never talked about, and James and Cody come down here to hang out with me. Me and me and uh, Brother Glenn Simpson and I had dinner. I can't remember the day but it was the night of the college football

playoff the first two games first round games or whatever one call it, whatever day that is, you can go back and

look it up because I can't remember. But me and Glenn had dinner and we was talking about,

you know, things going on with him in his life and this and that

and we was talking about different people and brother James Reed got brought up

Glenn had told me he said I ain't seen James post a whole lot here lately he said

maybe I've missed it he said I just was thinking about him and James is

somebody that I've from the first time I met him I've thought about him a lot

and after Glenn told me I started thinking myself you know a lot of times which I don't stay on
