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

I am Mary Catherine Ham, your host, here as always with my co-host, Vic Mattis, of The Free Beacon.

We are your morning show for any hour.

Vic, how you doing?

Hello, Mary, Catherine.

I'm doing just fine.

You know, I'm in this weird mode right now because I just come back from a lovely lunch

with our good friend and listener, David Skinner.

Oh, very nice.

And I just had one martini.

Look at you.

It's so weird.

It's so weird to come back.

I feel like you're in a perfect space.

No, it's weird because like the room is not spinning, right?

I can still see everybody and everything is clear.

I'm not really slurry.

But no, it was lovely to see him. And yeah, I was going to say I only have one thing really to share, which is, people might be wondering, my progress on reading and finishing, so close to finishing, Bonfire of the Vanities has been halted.

Oh, dear.

Why?

So two friends of ours, two friends, people you know, I would call them erudite, erudite, invited me and Kate to see this weekend King Lear at the Shakespeare Theater.

Yes, I actually looked at that the other day for tickets.
