This is me, Craig Ferguson. I'm inviting you to come and see my brand new comedy hour.

Well, it's actually about an hour and a half and I don't have an opener because these guys cost money.

But what I'm saying is I'll be on stage for a while.

Anyway, come and see me live on the Pants on Fire tour in your region. Tickets are on sale now

and we'll be adding more as the tour continues throughout

2025 and beyond. For a full list of dates, go to the Craigfergison Show.com. See you on the road,

my dears.

Hello everyone, welcome to the Joy Podcast. My name is Craig Ferguson. I'm your host for the Joy podcast today.

And I've got to tell you, I've got the fever. I've got the fever today. I've got taint fever. Now, I know that sounds like maybe a film that you might have accidentally rented or one that I accidentally wrote and produced and started all by myself.

But actually, taint fever is this time of year.

What happens is it, Taint Christmas and a Taint New Year.

And it's still the holidays, but it's kind of the doldrums or the taint.

And I've got the taint fever and and I'm driving everybody crazy around here.

And the house, I've been banished here to go and do your podcast.

They said in their voices that sounds suspiciously like my Scottish mother, which is weird because none of them are.

But I've been antsy. After Christmas Christmas I get a little antsy and before New Year I get I don't know I

it's weird any other holiday I don't get like this but I get I get I think a lot of people get

like everything's closed sort of and online is open but online isn't real I mean this I don't know even me this is

AI but the it's just this weird time of year I think a hangover from being in Scotland when I was a

wee boy and between Christmas and New Year was always, it was like

10 days of Sundays.

Now Sundays when I was growing up were pretty religious.
