Speaker B:

Good morning.

Speaker B:

It's Haystack.

Speaker B:

Pretty much my favorite time of the week when we get a chat with my dear old friend Bama down in rural Alabama.

Speaker B:

And she's back home now.

Speaker B:

She was up visiting over the weekend.

Speaker B:

But, Bama, you got home and it was still really cold at your house.

Speaker B:

She said, so how did you survive being in the cold?

Speaker A:

Oh, Haystack, it was so dang cold that I almost apologized to my fifth ex husband, Cooter, just to get some body heat.

Speaker A:

That's how you know it was bad.

Speaker B:

Oh, wow.

Speaker B:

You.

Speaker B:

You don't ever apologize to anyone.

Speaker A:

Yeah, exactly.

Speaker A:

My trailer heater crapped out, so I had to improvise.

Speaker A:

I wrapped myself in that shop blanket I got after my Applebee's detainment and stared into the open oven while change smoking menthols for internal warmth.

Speaker B:

Oh, no.

Speaker B:

Please, please tell me the oven was off.

Speaker A:

Hey, Stack, let's not ask questions that we don't want the answers to.

Speaker A:

But I did make a discovery.

Speaker B:

Oh, goodness.

Speaker A:

If you mix fireball with polydin, it creates this warm, tingly sensation all through your body.

Speaker A:

Like they say, necessity is the stepmother of invention.

Speaker B:

You know, I'm pretty sure that dentists and firefighters would disagree.

Speaker A:

Well, haters gonna hate anyway.

Speaker A:

I gots to go.

Speaker A:

It's starting to warm up again, so truck stop tanning, here I come.

Speaker B:

Oh, yeah, of course it is.

Speaker B:

Stay warm, Bama, and be safe, please.

Speaker A:

No promises, sugar.

Speaker A:

Y' all have a great one.

Speaker A:

See you later.
