Transcript
Speaker A:

Good morning.

Speaker A:

It's Haystack.

Speaker A:

It's pretty much my favorite time of the week when we chat.

Speaker A:

My dear old friend from rural Alabama, this is Bama.

Speaker A:

And Bama, how are you holding up?

Speaker A:

It feels like we just got done with summertime and boom, we're done with Turkey day and it's basically Christmas time again.

Speaker B:

Oh, hey, Stack.

Speaker B:

I know it seems like just yesterday my whole body was a slathered in mayonnaise and I was a flying down a slip and slide on the 4th of July.

Speaker B:

Then bam, Mariah Carey out here screeching like a dolphin again.

Speaker A:

Well, I guess that's.

Speaker A:

That's one way to mark the seasons.

Speaker B:

I need a redo after last Christmas, though.

Speaker B:

I caught charges for fighting a woman over the last squishmallow at the Walgreens.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker A:

Please tell me you at least won that squishmallow.

Speaker B:

Well, technically, no.

Speaker B:

But I did get a restraining order that says she can't come within 500ft of any plush toy shaped like a cat.

Speaker A:

Okay, okay, so what is the plan this year?

Speaker A:

We're gonna have peace on earth?

Speaker B:

Absolutely.

Speaker B:

Yeah.

Speaker B:

No violence from me.

Speaker B:

This year I'm all about breathing exercises.

Speaker B:

I take a big old rag off of a menthol, I hold it for four seconds, then I push it out for six.

Speaker B:

Makes my spirit feel like it got pressure washed.

Speaker B:

Plus it keeps me from a deck in anybody's halls.

Speaker A:

Well, that's a kind of unique mindfulness.

Speaker B:

It works.

Speaker B:

Anyway, I got to go.

Speaker B:

These Christmas lights ain't a gonna untangle themselves.

Speaker B:

And neither is my probation ankle monitor cord.

Speaker A:

Oh, no.

Speaker A:

Well, happy holidays and Merry Christmas, Bama.

Speaker B:

Got you, sugar.
