All right, welcome back to Flag of Sox a podcast, episode 317, today on the show.

We body snatch Maduro out of Venezuela. We're going to tell you why that's actually a good thing.

Then Tim Walts drops out of the 26 governor's race. We're going to go over that and some more of the Somali fraud that was exposed.

Then we have some gross jobs to tell you about and cringe of the week.

And last but not least, in urban decay, we have some black Christmas highlights you're not going

to want to miss. All this or more, let's talk to some podcast, episode 317, ranked the best

news podcast. Of all time. Because words are just words until action actually starts.

And actually speak louder than words.

But at the same time, words speak loud and action because sometimes it's the right thing to do.

Very cool.

Very cool.

It's like to stop of the podcast featuring Richard.

Grab, Richard.

All right, one for one on the intro, as always.

Guys, I don't know about you, but during the break, my diet and health routine kind of went off the rails.

Candy, cake, Chinese, late night ordering pizza, stuff like that. Desserts, lots of desserts. It got pretty bad, pretty fast. But now that we're in the new year, it's time to reset and get back on track. Let's undo all that. And for a New Year's resolution, let's actually give our bodies what it needs. And for me, this fresh start starts with Cove Pier.

Here's the thing.

Everyone starts the new year with new diet routines, workouts, supplements, all of these things,

but they ignore the most basic thing that is the most important, the water we're drinking.

Even mild dehydration impacts energy, focus, and metabolism. And when you think about all the garbage that's in our water, you're starting behind the curve before you even begin. Cove Pure changes that immediately. Their clear wave technology is certified to remove up to 99.9% of contaminants, pretty much anything that isn't water. PFAs, microplastics, pharmaceutical residue, fluoride, it all gets removed with covepeer. It's the purest water you can get. And what I like most about cove pure is it makes water taste good. It's clean, it's crisp, it's refreshing, and I've actually been drinking more water lately and I've been cutting back on my diet sodas. Another plus is it sits right on your countertop. You don't need to install special hoses or drill holes or call a plumber. You just plug it in, and you're good to go. Fresh water is on the way. Cove Pier makes it easy to get pure water with just a push of a button. So this year, let's make a New Year's resolution that actually sticks. Let's improve our health by improving our water.

It's very good, clean, crisp water. Hey, welcome back, everybody. Hope everyone had a nice two-week vacation. It's 2026. Everybody had two weeks off. So if you're back at work now,
