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

I'm your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

I am underprepared in the tension to be over caffeinated.

I'm not quite there yet.

Honestly, I'm at the end of my rope, guys.

36 weeks pregnant.

It's almost Christmas.

The wheels are falling off the wagon over here.

Vic, my co-host, Vic Mattis of the Free Beacon.

How are you doing, Vic?

Hello, Mary, Catherine.

I'm fine, obviously not feeling the same sort of pressures that you're feeling physically.

I'm a little slight, I'm slightly congested, but like I say, nothing a couple of martinis won't fix.

Naturally.

And this is the time of year for annual lunches.

I don't know if you've ever fallen into these, like, you know, it's just every December,

somebody's always saying they got to do our annual lunch.

We've got an annual lunch to do.

So I got one of those today this afternoon.

In clement weather be damned.

Yes.

That's what I will say.
