Good evening. You are listening to Three Moves

ahead, and I'm your host, Rob Zakeney. Tonight, we welcome back

our friend, freelance writer, John Bolding.

Howdy, howdy?

TJ's here, too.

Yeah, I'm not anybody's friend, unfortunately.

No, actually, TJ, you're the reason we're all here.

You are the one who brought us together.

You finally put this on the schedule after we've been

kicking it around for ages um we did our best we tried to get a full panel uh couldn't quite make

all the time zones and schedules work out uh which is the problem as three moves ahead is started

to shift across every possible configuration of

time zones. I'm just, I'm telling you, it's we need to just organize a strategy writer's commune

in like Montana or something. That's the way it needs to go. That is my retirement plan is to get

you all to come up here into like, you know, the northern Appalachians and, uh, you know,

we'd be down for that just sort of hang out

there can we can we compromise somewhere in the middle because it snows and that just i just i can't do it

oh see i got i got to i got to have my snow yeah come on man like imagine like you know what right

now i've got the house like sealed up because it's just too cold. And the air's too fresh, John. I just had to do it. I'm wearing a sweater. And I am, like, perfectly comfortable inside. Does it get better than that? I don't think so. I had to get a sweater today. I had to get sweater in pants. It was terrible. It's awful.

I just, I will never understand you folks who live, live in the South, particularly in the more swampy environs of the South.

North Carolina is about as far as I can go.

I once spent a week in Tallahassee, and I regarded that as one of the least humane environments I've ever encountered.
