Go set.

You're listening to Country Squire Radio.

Welcome to Skye Radio.

And I'm John Davis.

Jay-D.

Hey, Bo.

Good morning, man.

Man, good morning to you, too, sir.

How are you doing this morning?

You know, I'm pretty good.

Yeah.

I'm pretty good considering I drink about a fourth of that Jack Daniels bottle over there. It wasn't that bad. It wasn't that bad. But you know what? If you're going to do it big, you're in the place to do it because ladies and gentlemen, we are now in Viva, Las Vegas. We're in Las Vegas, man. It's so great to be here. It's just a beautiful time of year.

It's a little cooler right now in Las Vegas. We're in Las Vegas, man. It's so great to be here. It's just a beautiful time of year. It's a little cooler right now in Las Vegas. I don't feel like I'm, you know, frying like I'm on the surface of the sun or something like you feel like when you come here any other time. Dude, it's dangerous, though. It's dangerous. It's ridiculous, man. This city's not supposed to even be here. No, this is true.

Mo Green, Mo Green set it up. He knew what he was doing. But here's the thing. Like, you and I, we grew up in hot areas, right? Like, Mississippi, Texas. Like, these are warm areas, warm climates. We've talked throughout the history of the show about, like, just the impossibility of living in the regions that we've lived in. But there is a like,

there's an advantage to living in those areas because you're surrounded typically by water. We've got the big Mississippi River. We've got the oceans. Like mostly, you know, relatively coastal, at least by comparison to where we are now. If you get hot, at least you can go get wet. Yeah. Well, and not just that, but your body is like constantly like taking in moisture, releasing moisture, taking in moisture. No, that's right. You come out here, though? Like, even the lizards look like they shouldn't even exist. They got those, like, crinkly, you know, like scales and everything. It's like, like, you look like a rock because you're not supposed to be anything but a rock. I think those lizards were actually like high rolling gamblers that just they've been out here a little too long. They're kind of leathery, you know? Yeah. I met one of those on my flight in. Yeah, yeah, yeah, you did. You told me about that. You told me about that guy. That's right. No, man, it's great to be here. Of course, man, we're, you know, doing these retreats this year, which has been so much fun, kind of linking up in different cities across America. And, of course, you know, we're, man, just excited to be here. It's wonderful. I mean, on the day that actually the Las Vegas International Pipe Show is getting cranked up today as we're recording. We're going to knock out a few episodes here and then

go over and join all the festivities. And so it's going to be great, man. But it's been so long. How you been, man? You know, I don't want to answer that question. Actually, you've been kind of crummy. Actually, I've been kind of crummy. Like, you know what? Here's the deal. Thank you for asking. That's hilarious.

Yeah, it's like maybe we should talk about something happy because it's been kind of a tough, tough few. or crummy. Like, you know what? Here's the deal. Thank you for asking. That's hilarious.

Yeah.

It's like maybe we should talk about something happy because it's, it's been kind of a tough, tough few months. I'm going to take it a different direction. Man, thank you so much for asking. I've been crazy busy because, of course, you know, we have been in the process of launching this Kickstarter campaign for the Pirates daughter. Yeah, that's right. And it has been, uh, it, it takes so much, John David, just to try. Like, when you're trying to like create something, you know, like, or build something that doesn't exist, you know, right? Like, just the trying alone is such a massive effort. Because, you know, you think about like a Kickstarter campaign, that's so you can build the fund, get the funds together so you can actually build the thing or create the thing. Yeah. And in order to make a Kickstarter, though, it takes so much lead up and like, you know, we created like an entire like ARG story that kind of went along with like a mailing list campaign beforehand just to get to the Kickstarter type deal. And you've put in so much effort. It's crazy. Yeah. It's kind of, you know, to some extent,

it reminds me very much of, just to get to the Kickstarter type deal. And you've put in so much effort. It's crazy. Yeah.

It's kind of,

you know,
