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

I'm your host, Mary Catherine Ham.

I'm here with my co-host, Vic Mattis of the Washington for free. Beacon.

We're your morning show for any hour.

We have a lot of news today.

There are Biden poll numbers.

There's an immigration bill.

There's weirdly a lot of news out of the Grammys.

Just when you thought award shows didn't matter.

They matter now.

They matter today, Vic.

But before we get to all that, how's it going?

Hello, Mary Catherine.

Doing fine, and I just wanted to give a shout out to my good friends, Todd and Kathleen Palladino, their daughter, Molina, Rose, and Sue and Rich Covey because they were the

surprise guests at my birthday party on for birthday dinner my birthday dinner on

friday these are high school friends of mine todd and suey went to high school with i really was not

expecting them and in fact both of them they called me oh how are you and like what's that noise

in the background we can't be with you and they're like oh, oh, I'm in New York at the time, Todd says.

And so we show up to the palm.

And I'm like, okay, I was thinking maybe it's local friends.

Maybe it's, and we were with our kids.

So I actually did think for a moment that it was going to be dinner with my in-laws.
