Welcome back.

Junkies come to you live on 106-7 The Fan and the Team 980 here in the DMV in Richmond.

Appreciate you checking us out on 910 the fan or 105.1 FM.

We are streaming live on the free Odyssey app, IHeart Radio, and tune in.

And you can watch us on the Monumental Sports Network, to you by friends at CropMetkaft.

They're the official heating and cooling company of the junkies looking to be their next five-star HVAC technician or plumber.

Just visit CropMetkaf.com.

And you can join their team.

It's Bish, Eby, and J.P. hanging out.

And a couple days we'll be drinking during the show for our annual holiday show at Hyde Social, our pal Chuck Lee's spot right there in Clarendon. We'll be drinking some. We're not going to get hammered like we used to 35 years. I'm not. How's up to you? I think JP wants to go hard this year. I think I'm going to go a little harder than usual. Because he just wants to celebrate.

I'm off next week.

Oh, you just want to celebrate? You know what? I've felt this pressure about the book because I finished writing my book. It's a celebration. It's a celebration. No, but I finished writing my book on July 20th and I don't want to get too into it. It finally is out. But now I feel this pressure to get the books to people, hundreds and hundreds of books.

I've got to get to people hopefully before Christmas.

Yeah.

And it's tough.

I'll be honest.

Because I also promised to personalize the first thousand books sold.

So yesterday, just signing a book and I write, I'll be honest, my personalization is,

hope you enjoy the book, sign it, and then on some of them I put a hashtag HTTR.

But to do 44 books, I timed it over and over again, which is 44 books in a box,

took me between 14 to 16 minutes.

Now multiply that times 40 or whatever it is. It takes a long time. Just do that. Then to stuff them into envelopes, slap the label. And that's why I hired shorts to do with the bulk of it. I think you're going to be able to sell a lot of books on Friday. But anyway, how many are you going to bring? I'll bring a box or two. But my, I think you're going to sell a lot. But my thing is it'll be a celebration when kind of this weight is lifted off my shoulder of I got to deliver these books to these people that bought the book in August. Right. Right. Gapie's just realizing alcohol helps cope with stress. But also, also, Valdeu's reminding me. I'm off next week. So it's my last show for a week. So next week is me and Eric, is you off next week? I'll be in Florida. No, it's you and cakes. So it's me and cakes next week. Yep. And then it's me and JP, New Year's week. Correct. Pretty sure. I'll tell you off the break. About the day day after the year after whatever. I think it's off now. Yeah, that's a company holiday. Yeah. Jason didn't. Oh, I knew that. Oh, I knew that. Well, I think they did that because they didn't give us the day after Christmas. So I think they flip them. So maybe next year, January 2nd, if it was on a Friday, wouldn't be.
