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

I am your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

I'm here with my co-host, Vic Mattis, back in the studio, back from Chicago.

Did not see last night's event live, but we're going to get into that.

There's a lot to talk about.

Kamal Harris's speech.

Excuse me, Vice President Kamal Harris's speech.

Even though she's trying to ignore that she was vice president for the last three and a half years, I will note it.

We're going to get into that. Also on the podcast today live, 32-time Grammy award-winning recording artist and icon, Beyonce. Beyonce is going to be

here. So get excited for that. I'm just kidding. She's not coming. We're going to make fun of them for

that. Are we going to make fun of them for that, Vic? I wanted to say Mary Catherine that she's

coming, but only at the very, very end of the show. So you have to tune in now, and this is an

hour plus show. Don't leave. Don't leave. Do not tune out. You won't believe how it ends.

You won't believe the star-studded event we have in store for you. Before we get started, how's it going?

Hello, Mary Catherine.

It's nice to see you in person again back here in studio.

I'm doing fine on the mend.

I want to thank listeners for telling me I should be taking allopurinol for my gout.

Yes, I used to be on it. It's great as a preventative, but once the flare up happens, it's sort of like taking

Advil when you're in the middle of a bad headache.

It's too late.

So just trying to flush it all out.
