Hello, everyone, and welcome to another episode of Getting Hammered.

I am your host, Mary Kath and Ham.

I have dragged myself from the home in these postpartum days to record in person.

The baby is here.

If you hear him, hopefully he will not revolt.

He seems quite comfortable.

We'll see how it goes.

I'm here with my co-host, Vic Mattis of the Free Beacon.

How are you doing, Vic?

Hello, Mary Catherine.

Indeed, you brought us a little present. I did. He is so

chill. Well, for now. And this is the ideal time because, nah, how many days is he old? 12 days old.

12 days old. You know, they like the white noise. In fact, the more noise, the better they get

used to it. And sometimes it's when suddenly noise stops, then all of a sudden they wake up. So, you know. I actually made a

resolution to read more physical books as opposed to just audiobooks or listening to podcasts or

scrolling on my phone. And I thought that maternity time would be a great time to do that. But then I realized the room is too dang quiet.

Like I got to get some other noise in there.

Yes.

Too quiet.

I do want to say I got a lot of feedback about last episodes audio clip.

People saying you should have, there should have been content warning that this would be a tear jerker.

Oh, yeah.
