you guys had a little planes, trains, and automobiles in order to get here. What time did you

guys check into your hotel room last night? At 2 o'clock in the morning. Two o'clock in the morning.

So barely eight hours ago. It's character building. There's literally more hair on your chest right now than there was a few hours ago.

Exactly. I'm thankful for that.

I was told we were going to go hard, so that's what we did. Listen, I told these guys, when we're done with the show, you want to go back, you know, get a power nap or something in. and Erzine said, not only am I not going to power nap, I am going to stigmata right here on this stage.

Erzine's like, I came here to suffer.

That's why you came here. said, not only am I not going to power nap, I am going to stigmata right here on this stage.

All right.

Erzins, like, I came here to suffer. That's why you came here. Absolutely. Rounds of vinegar for everybody. Let's do this thing. All right. So to start off this show today, so tomorrow, we're going to do a special two-hour edition feedback Friday. You guys have sent this so many good notes, so many thoughtful pieces of feedback that I want to respond to and just have not had the chance to. So we're going to try to clear out the vault with tomorrow's show. Today we're going to have some special guest with us, a guy who's become a good friend of mine in the last couple of years. Eric Stackleback over at TBN. He's going to join us at the bottom of the hour. And then guys that I've been friends with for years, the cross-politics guys out there, Doug Wilson's crew from Moscow, Idaho, Chocolate Knox, Gabe Wrench, those guys are going to come by and join us next hour. We might just have kick you out as the Catholic and just have you stand down here while we just rip on you guys for about an hour. You okay with that?

Well, how do you think they're going to be impacted by the stigmata?

All right.

So we are going to do that coming up in the next hour of the show.
