Hey, Bo, good afternoon, man. Good afternoon, dude. Merry Christmas. Merry Christmas. We're like two weeks out, I think, at this point. But so we're sitting here in the same place at the same time. Again, I know. It's such a good feel, man. It's good to see your goofy, uh, goofy self. Home for the holidays, man. And it's always a blast. Heard things in Houston. Houston's been great.

Absolutely. Good to see your goofy, uh, goofy, uh, Goofy self. Home for the holidays, man. It's, it's, it's always, uh, it's always a blast.

How are things in, uh, heard things in Houston?

Houston's been great.

Uh, absolutely love it.

Um, but it's always fun to come back here, uh, to Jackson, see you. Look, we got to address something up front out of the gate. Now, look, y'all know we've been doing some great holiday episodes, some great Christmas themes, or least trying to kind of tie some great christmas themes into these uh these several weeks of uh shows as we

gear up for uh for the big day when the when the big fat man with the long white beard comes

rumlin down that chimney don't talk about your dad like that hey now anyway so we're here

actually again at my parents house and one thing you may notice this episode is there's going to be a little bit of background noise. Now, I know a lot of y'all like long for the days when we were at the shop and you heard the clinging and the clanging of the background noise. Lighting of matches and, you know, just this and that. Yeah, the gungling. The jingle of the bell. Jingle of the bell. over over door over the door. Yeah. And the creepy people that would sometimes like come up like right behind us and all that kind of great stuff. It was great. So we don't have any of that. But this time we have probably the clanging of, uh, of pots and pans as a, as a nice meal is being prepared and children in the background. Hollering kids hollering kids man like this this is the

sounds of the season it is yeah so i think what what better way to to ring it in than that but anyway so

give us a little bit grace this week hopefully i'll still be able to enjoy the episode as we power through

man we've got a lot of great stuff that's going on of course we have been talking about it for

the last several weeks we are building up towards our best of 2019. This is an annual series we do where we give

kind of the spotlight to some folks around the pipe smoking world and around the industry

that have been doing some great things, really showcasing their craft in an amazing way.

And we've got some great categories, too.
