what's up besties welcome to pillows and beer i'm craig conover in new york city joined by austin kroll who's also in new york city but a couple blocks down from me and one avenue over and nick norris from a cozy living room in somewhere somewhere in virginia i guess he made it back there we're wrapping up um this leg of our second tour
Which has been a lot of fun. And I think we're just kind of all still riding the high of meeting so many of y'all. Dude, you said it. You are looking at the face of a very...
Tired, but very happy and satisfied man. I mean, I just don't think I could have asked for a better turnout, for better crowd interaction, for better guests. I mean, gosh, yesterday we had Paige at 4 o'clock. And of course, Mr. Andy Cohen at 8 o'clock, our good friend. And I am exhausted, Craig. I have not left my hotel room.
Well, I had to leave a little bit today excited to pick up something for watch what happens live, but I didn't leave my bed until like four o'clock today. Yeah. Thanks to page and Andy for joining us. That was awesome. Big, big thing. Had a lot of fun at both shows. Obviously not many people we would bump for page, but when Andy wanted to do it, it was great. And yeah,
It's funny, you know, having to lead him when we're so used to him being the lead on stage. So I think it caught us a couple times. I mean, no one...
it never manifested, but I know in my head I was like, okay, Craig, like when he's finished talking, you better have something else to say because you and Austin are leading this. And he, he, he was a great guest. He just sat back and like went with the show. And, uh, he's, I mean, he's just so good. He's so charismatic. So good at what he does. Yeah. I mean, we actually should talk about it now, you know, because before we were, we were very, uh,
hush hush you know andy was like you know we don't want to say that i'm coming which was perfect dude craig and i were doing smoke and mirrors with friends of ours even leading up to the show and they were like is it andy and we were like oh man wouldn't that be cool if it was kind of things that i was all just like a a you know complete surprise and um uh
At the reunion, he came into my dressing room when Craig was there, and I had tagged him in something saying that I was going to ask him to be on –
to be a guest for our podcast. He was like, all right, so when am I coming guys? And we were like, what? So that was cool. And yeah, and Craig is so right. I'm so used to him leading it. So then whenever we were done with the story, I was like, okay, so now we're going here. And thankfully, Craig had a whole bunch of things that he had planned to say, but what a trip. Well, we recorded it, right, Nick? Yeah.
Yeah, I haven't listened to it yet, obviously. I'm curious to see how it's picked up because I'm wondering, because obviously I was front of house when, so I was pretty much center of everyone. That is probably the loudest I've heard a venue in a long, and I'm talking about any concert I've been to in a long, long time. Could you guys, because I listened to some of the videos that were closer to stage and it didn't sound as loud.
as it did from where I was. No, I mean, it was over the, yeah, that's because it was too loud for the audio to pick it up. It was, um, I knew it was going to be awesome, but it was a death. I, yeah, I've, I've never experienced anything like that. And it just, it was just an awesome surprise. It was, it was fun. And,
I don't think Andy does that, you know, does those things too often. And I mean, did our besties welcome him perfectly? I mean, it was a two minute. I mean, honestly, it could have been longer than that. We just waited for it to be over, but it was fun. You know, we did a fireside chat for people that weren't there and we'll cut clips from the recording and put them out there because it really was neat. And, you know, it's a little touch and go these days with,
everyone filming you know i know you guys are our besties but you'll see the phones being held up in the air recording and you're like if you get i mean the truth of the matter is you would probably get more secrets in the moment if you weren't doing that but you know everyone's a little more on edge when there's cameras recording everything because then it goes right on the internet but it was still a fantastic show and i think we're comfortable putting out
the clips. I mean, we did like a fireside chat with Andy for about a half hour and then he stuck around for the rest of our show, which we went into some of our favorite stories from the past few years. And I, I enjoyed it. I mean, I think that it's funny that you say that Craig, right? Because we're like, yeah, if there weren't phones there. So, so, you know, to jump to pages, um, appearance on ours, um,
she she just lets it fly you know if she's got to say something then she lets it fly and i'm like impressed you know i'm almost like an awe uh i'm like damn she just says says exactly what you know she thinks it feels and craig and i are very more like okay well we don't want to pop up here and she's like i don't give a and that was funny as hell and then and then for andy prior to the show
you know, Craig and I were like, is there anything that you, and he was like, I'm yours guys. I'm yours. And he was like, this is for all the years, you know, that I've given you shit on, you know, watch what happens and reunions and stuff. And he's like, I am all yours, which was really, really cool. And music to our ears. We went through some of the times we've been on watch what happens. And then, um,
I think a lot, I mean, a lot of people know this rule, but like one of the main rules of watch what happens or the only rule is that you can't cuss. And so we talked about this one time that James and Lala were on and Andy explained why he doesn't like the cussing. It's not so much the cussing. It's that when you do cuss, they have to censor out like the whole sentence. So he's like, so when you're cussing a whole bunch, the censors, like, brrrr.
And all of a sudden it's like the whole sentence before and after what he said. And it's really funny too. Okay, so first off, James cusses his ass off. Have either of you guys ever slipped up on Watch What Happens Before? Probably, probably. I'm pretty conscious of it. I'm like pretty damn conscious of it. And I'm like, you know, if I'm going to say something, I'll be like, you know, frickin' or friggin', like,
I don't just let, I don't think, yeah, I don't think we, we have, even when I say it at, at, at like our live show, like I'm conscious of it, you know, after saying it, I'm like, Ooh, you just let it fly. You know? And then in my head I'm like, but so what? It's okay. Right. So I'm pretty conscious of it when I, when I let it fly. Um, but with that being said, Craig, uh, I remember that one time, uh,
Katie was home and we were at Seabrook and she was watching Vanderpump. It was in the background while she was working. And I wasn't in the room and all that I kept on hearing, and it was an episode of Vanderpump, and all that I kept on hearing was like every other sentence was like, beep, beep. And I was like, Katie, what are you watching? That's the most custom show I've ever heard. She was like, it's Vanderpump. I was like, what?
Oh my God. That's really funny. This show just like they cuss all the time and it was probably changed up. I just recently saw that apparently Peacock has uncensored reunions, which is pretty cool. Some people thought it was unedited and they were like, you get to watch the whole reunion. I was like, no, you don't. Yeah. That would be a 10 hour special. Yeah. No, no, no. But uncensored is cool. Cause yeah,
I think cuss words hold a purpose sometimes and carry a lot of emotion. And I know that our raw cuts that we get aren't edited yet. So when we watch our show, if you watch the screener, it's not like blurred out yet.
Okay, so that makes sense why the clip that I saw that was making its rounds. And I was like, oh, I'm surprised that they left that in there. It was when Olivia walked off and she said something very, very colorful to Taylor. And I was like, they left that in? But I guess that's what you just said. I thought it's nothing against like for or who it was used or not again. But I think that's a hilarious word. I think when people call people ****.
It makes me laugh every single time. And they put together like a compilation of women on Bravo, like calling each other. And I was like, this is, and that was my first time seeing like Olivia say it. And I was like, Ooh, damn. Cause I didn't catch it when we were there. Yeah, dude. When I saw it too, I was like, no way that they played that on Bravo and where'd they get that. But now it makes sense that you said, it's just so funny. Cause like you go to fucking Britain and,
for a week and you'll hear it every day and you it's in every sentence like it's an adjective you're a funny you're you're you're a good you're yeah quite the word um okay and with that we're gonna take a quick break and uh we'll be right back to talk about more from life on the road
I would like to talk to you about one of our sponsors, Timeline Nutrition, and one product in particular, MitoPure. MitoPure is one of the first products to offer a precise dose of urolithin A to help upgrade your mitochondrial function, help increase cellular energy, and help improve muscle strength and endurance. I've started taking it recently and have started to tell that there is definitely one I work out or am active. But MitoPure does more than just help with my muscle health.
it can help with health stand as well. I want to be one of those granddads one day that you see in the video of him swinging his grandkid around. I want to rely on myself for as long as I possibly can. One way to think of MitoPure is that they are in your cells, chomping up the damaged mitochondria that makes you feel old and tired and helping to recycle it into new healthy ones.
Mitochondria, our cell's power generators, are one of the key influences in how we age. However, as the years pass, mitochondrial efficiency naturally declines, representing a large gap in the quality of life we expect in our later years and the one we experience.
Taking two soft gels a day for two months and you could see significant improvements in your cellular energy, muscle strength, and endurance. After four months of taking Mito Pure, you might feel yourself getting stronger, recovering faster after a workout, and experiencing less inflammation, all part of your healthier aging routine, which is honestly amazing.

Second leg of our second tour where we went to Boston and Philly and New York. Three back-to-back-to-back sold-out shows. And today, I think that we're both... All three of us are licking our wounds. So, welcome back. Yeah, it's funny because the first tour we did drunk. And this tour we did, for the most part, sober. And it's really tough to rely or to... I don't know, like...
to give your sober self credit sometimes of being like, you know what? I don't have to be drunk to be funny. People still like me when I'm sober. And I think that's, that's tough. And it was really cool to put that to the test. So thanks for everyone to be being welcome to that. But you know, I, I mean, I'm always proud of what we do Austin, but I think it's a little more like structured and more of a professional show when we're not, you know, hammered drunk. But the first tour, I mean, you're,
Yeah. Well, you know, listen, like we, we, I mean, I, we, I mean, it's like, you know, so first off nerves, right? Like you're sitting there and you're like, okay, we know this second and third and fourth, you know, freaking glass of, uh, Rose is going to make me, you know, calm down. And then, and then you, and then you just kind of realize that like, it's actually harder. It's actually harder. Cause if like, so yesterday, um,
For instance, I drank an entire fricking six pack of NA beers prior to the eight o'clock show. So, you know, we got up there at three o'clock and so we were there for,
six or so hours. And, and yeah, I was just pounding those things. And I'm so, so glad man, because like, if I would have, if I would have been drinking Craig, then like, I could have had like a fricking hangover by, you know, the second show and just like not, you know, been on my game. So, uh, I mean, you know, thankful because certainly in the past, I mean,
If this was our last tour, you bet your ass that, that I would have been in the green room and not, you know, slugging shots and drinking, you know, this and that, but like, I would have been drinking beers all day. And so that show came, I just, you know, would not have been on my game. I just really wouldn't. Yeah. I was proud of us. And it's funny. Cause all it took was just having them in the fridge. It's like, all right, well, I'm going to grab something to drink, but having that alternative was pretty cool. And then, uh,
You know, we got to really enjoy the live show and we've got Barstool. We're going on Chicks in the Office tomorrow morning. And so you've, like we said, when they were on our show, Ria and Fran, you'll hear a lot of us coming up. And then, you know, they have a show in Charleston that I don't know if they've announced yet, but we, and then after doing Barstool, we've got Watch What Happens with the Southern Hospitality Gang. So, you know, I think it's, um,
Well, she's part of the Southern hospitality gang. Right. Right. But I guess she deserves a name. Well, you know, the funny thing is Craig is that I think that chicks just had Andy on, I think that Andy was just on, you know, their show. So we'll be able to, you know, that's cool. I wonder if that's, I am at Andy or not, or,
Well, since we're in New York, probably. Oh yeah. That's a good point. Well, since we're in New York, we should probably invite them to watch what happens sometime. I invited Ben and Claudia from boy with no job and girl with no job, but they're in LA. I don't have any guests tomorrow. Do you have any guests? Yeah. Yeah. I mean, Katie, Katie's coming. So for everyone that wasn't there too, by the way, just, just okay. So for everyone that was there,
Thank you, thank you so much because for everyone that wasn't there, the audience sang Katie Kroll happy birthday and it was really cool and she was blushing and she was so, so happy and it was really, really cool. But her actual birthday, Craig, is tomorrow so she is coming to watch Rapids Live. Oh, cool. I just got to say I got my bets into DraftKings because we're in New York and I did so well
Yesterday, but I took the Eagles just because all my friends are Birds fans and we were just in Philly and they only had 10-0. No. Losing? To Tampa Bay, 10-0 in the first quarter. There's a lot of time left. I can't wait for the... Wait, did I miss the Bills game? Yeah. I've been looking forward to it all weekend. Yeah, the Bills put up a good...
They went up 21-0, basically. Then it was 21-7 at half, then 21-10, 24-10, and then that's when I turned it off. I think that the Bills just ended up taking it. I had the under at 33 because the bet was placed when it was supposed to play in the snow.
Well, luckily, yeah, yeah, definitely. Yeah, that makes sense. You would have taken the under, but what about the Cowboys? But everyone knew the Bills. Good thing that we didn't bet on that game because if we would have bet on that game, I probably would have put money on the Cowboys and they got smoked. I mean, yeah, they got, I mean, their fans are throwing all of their gear away. I mean, they are burning things. They're throwing their TVs away, for God's sake. I've never understood the burning of a jersey before. It's like you paid for that.
Like, well, I mean, if the player leaves next year. Yeah. If the player leaves and goes to a new team and burns you, then yeah, I understand. You're like, boom torch, but not if your team, you know, loses because I guarantee that whoever was burning that Dak fricking Prescott Jersey is going to buy another one for next season. It's like, let's see your quarterback. And that's what you're going to do. Yeah. They were, they were pretty frustrated. I ended up,
So after giving some of my money to the casino in Boston, I went on to DraftKings to see what the Super Bowl odds were. So I put money on the Ravens to win, and then I put money on the Ravens to beat the 49ers. Oh, well, that's a good bet. What are the odds? What were the odds for that one? Yeah. Like one to eight, you know, eight to one or something. Oh, really? That's it? I figured that'd be higher. It wasn't.
I mean, yeah, it's too close. It's too close to the date. I think a couple of weeks ago, if you picked that up, you could have gotten it for like $20 to $30 to $1. When do you play? Next weekend? Yeah, they play next weekend at the bye. We play on Saturday, and we play the Texans? Yeah. Texans are a four-seed.
We got a great question last night. It was a conspiracy theory. So, of course, it was directed towards Craig.
And a bestie asked us if they believe in the NFL script, which if you don't know what that is, it's really funny if you want to Google it and if you want to deep dive into it. People out there think that there is a script in the NFL. So every year they come out with the Super Bowl logo, and the Super Bowl logo has a
color scheme and the past three years, the color schemes for the corresponding team that made it to the Super Bowl is on there. So everyone's like, oh my God, it's rigged. And this year, the colors are for the 49ers and the Ravens. So people are like, which are like the number one seeds in the tournament. So if the 49ers and the Ravens make it, then that only furthers the NFL has a script. Craig, do you think
No, you don't think that, do you? That's not a conspiracy. No, I think it's awesome for the Ravens, though, because we're part of this. Well, yeah. I mean, shit, yeah. If it was Panthers colors, I'd be like, I am all for this script, if it's a thing. No, I don't think it's scripted. I do think that certain football teams have bigger fan bases that spend more money, and I think the advertising markets...
There's always money behind everything. I think that they wanted the Steelers to be in the playoffs. The Steelers fans. If they're not in the playoffs, you're losing a huge market. You know what I mean? The Cowboys. Yeah. The Cowboys, Patriots. I think some teams probably...
you know, have a little bit of favorable stuff, but no, I don't think there's a script. I think that there's a lot of coincidences, which I do believe in coincidences, even though some people don't. I just, I just would think that they should go. I, I think, I think the football game should be done.
I think the entire thing should be umpired and refereed by the computers. We have the technology. We can all see it at home. They can see it in live time. And rules are not subjective. Rules are objective. They're supposed to be. So the referee's opinion should not matter. Everybody at home can be sitting and say, that's a fumble. And then the idiots on the field are like, that's not a fumble.
because you put pride into the mixture and they're like well we don't want this guy to have to like you know to turn over ralph's call and you're like it shouldn't matter that should not be a part of the game referees and umpires existed because we did not have the technology to do it not on the field you know if it's past interference it's past interference if it's holding it's holding if it's not it's not if the guy's out so it's
I just think there's too much money with legalized gambling now to still let people on the field decide the games because it just happened a couple weeks ago. So you want to do away with referees, huh? Yeah, I think they should be here first. Craig wants all referees to lose their jobs. I'm with them. Yeah, well, they would know they would be on field with...
reporting back whatever they're told in their ear. Like someone has still has to be like the balls on the 42, you know, like the fact that they're still using the chains to, to, to determine a first down is, is criminal. It just is. I think I do that on purpose. Right. Because it's like a, it's just like an NFL thing. I mean, Oh, they're bringing out the chains. It's just like a thing. It's theatrical. Yes. Theatrical.
But they're still making the call off that. They have the technology to put a laser on the field and say this is where it is. Yeah, chipping the ball. Agreed. Agreed. I mean, dude, but that goes – yeah. Every other sport is moving – I mean, baseball and football are late to the game. Hockey, soccer, you know, they all do it. Baseball was the latest to the game. I mean –
I think they just added like a, like a, you know, challenge and thing like that too. But you shouldn't have to, it should all be done from the person in the box. Yes. Yes. We, we have the means to do so. All right. Well, with that being said, we'll take another break and we'll be right back with some more pillows and beer.

hotel room yeah of course the royalton pool table room that was my one of ours first bravo con hotel guys do you see my lightning correct dude your hair is are you gonna get one dude tomorrow prior to prior to watch what happens yeah i have a haircut at 12. yeah dude that is an unruly like mitchell your sideburns are outrageous right now um
It's very uncomfortable. I don't like it. I feel unkept. It's – I ended up – I'm not going to lie too, man. When we were sitting up there and we were talking on last night's show, I kept like I'm looking over at you as you were talking and I was just looking at your hair. I was looking at your hair a lot because it was like –
It was back in – even Andy in the green room prior to the show was like, Craig, man, your hair. You're like, I know, I know. It's just longer. It's just longer. No, it grows fast. I ended up not finding anything at Zara, so I went to Suit Supply and ended up at Bond Street for sushi. Have you been to Bond Street? Dude, I have most definitely been to Bond Street. It is –
Wonderful. Actually, the last time that I was there, I think it was, I think it was last year, BravoCon. So last year, BravoCon was in New York. And I went up there with some of our NBC folks, friends, you know, Jen and Dave and
ariana and i don't even remember man who else but there was like a big old group of us like of eight or nine of us and i think i was sitting next to lala or something and she facetimed you man remember we were all sitting at bond street oh that's right that's right yeah and well i had the big tuna tarts but no i do because i probably just went back to the apartment after i was fucking dead so
That was, um, we all went. And if, if y'all have not been up on street, but you're familiar with New York city, it is no different. It is very tight, very tight quarters. And we had like a 10 top and we were, we were packed in like sardines, but that's just what you do in New York. So we, we actually had to, like, we got sat, she like put the menus on a two top next to a two top. And I was like, is there any way we can like sit?
like one table over and she's like yeah let me ask because I was like I don't want to be on top of each other yeah um but it was it was really really good I uh I also have another recommend I I have another story from there um so back in like 2018 fish played their 13 nights here in
uh new york but it was 13 nights over 21 nights right so i was here for all 21 and i was crashing on my cousin's apartment i met this really really cute cute girl and i asked her out on a date and we went to bond street and basically she didn't know that i didn't live here like i mean it didn't come up and i could tell that she thought like i lived here and i was like well i'm not going to tell her that i don't because you know she's really cute and i want this to you know and um
And we went to Bond Street. That's my first time. And it was a lovely little spot. And I felt so cool because at that point in time, it was like my first time really doing like a couple of weeks here. Right? And so when I went, I was like, I'm going on like a proper date in New York City to like this sexy little sushi spot. You're like, I live here now. Yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It was cool. And like I convinced myself. I was like, I live here. And so Bond Street is. What if I –
What did Paige get? Dude, it was so funny. We like, so I just talked to you. I forget what was going on, but Paige was had went to the studio to do her podcast and she came back and I was like, Hey, can you please just go to Zara with me? It'll take like, you know, no time. Walk in, get an outfit. Let's just knock it out. And we're both like not in real clothes. I have a t-shirt on that has like egg all over it.
and Zara's having their big sale. So it was kind of picked through. And then she's like, should we go to the, or no, she was like, let's just go to suit supply. There's one in Hudson yards. And I was like, honestly, they never steer me wrong. Um, and then she's like, should we go to the movies? And I was like, that's, I was like, I don't want to go to the, Oh, Hudson yards. Yeah. I know. I mean, it is cool over there. I was like, I could see us over in this area. And, um, I was like, no, I don't want to go to the movies. Like I want to go home, do some computer stuff. And she's like, Oh, well,
I finally want to go to the movies and you don't. I was like, it's fine. It's fine. Like, it's not a big deal. But I was like, I could do some dinner though. Cause I started to get like a little like hangry. Cause I worked out. I got too nervous. Cause I went down to the gym finally at five. I was supposed to work out at one and I just sat on the couch and did other stuff and it was packed and I didn't have my headphones. So I came up and did like a, a 20 minute flow in the apartment anyway. So we end up going to sushi and,
And I ordered three courses. And after the first course, we were both like, we just want to go home. We just want to go home. And like the restaurant started to fill up and we were like, okay, so like, do we pay and just leave the rest of the food here? Like, what do we do? Like, do we get it to go? And so like the waitress came back and I was like, Hey, we'll eat the next course here. And she's like, well, yeah, that's about to come out. And I was like, but you can box the rest of the stuff.
And then she brought our second course out and I gave her my credit card. Basically, we left a bunch of sushi there because we were just like, this was a fantastic meal, but we overordered. Right. Yeah. I kind of, like I said, I did leave because I had to go somewhere to pick up something that I'd put on hold or that Kelsey had put on hold for me. And I was like, okay.
I'm brave in the weather. I'm doing it. I didn't want to leave, but I'm doing it. Walked outside. I thought it was like five freaking degrees, but it was 30. It was really, really cold. So I went to the place. I picked up what I needed to pick up. And then I was walking past a job house, you know, like one of my favorite things. And I was like, well, I was like a glass of red wine might, you know, sound nice. And I go in there, I sit down and the bar's empty, you know,
The football game's on. I get the glass of red wine. I got like a French onion. And then I was about to order just like a whole bunch of things. Like I was talking to the guy and I was like, yeah, and I'm going to do this and this. And then like halfway through that glass of wine, I was like, I just want to go home. I got to get out of here. I am. I'm dead. I freaking over.
like exerted myself and it sounds like the same thing that you guys did there you were like going to bond street in theory sounds you know awesome and fun but you got there you sat down you kind of ate a little bit and then you were like i gotta get the hell out of here and that's what i did i was like yeah oh god i'm like you know sweating a bit i was like i i've i gotta go i was like i i need to just you know go back to my room and just put my pajamas on and chill
I came home last night and some of our besties brought us some gifts, which I'm going to talk about on the next episode. But I was like, I've never been, I've never been more excited about a gift. I was like, this is the coolest present in the world. If you want to bring me these presents, but I, um, I came home and finished or almost finished oblivion or whatever the Netflix show, which is way different than, yeah, the one I think you've watched it. Austin.
The one on Netflix where they're like party, like they're special agents, but they party. They're like a special force team. Obliterated, obliterated, obliterated. And like, there's a wild sex scene in that movie, by the way, like a pretty, like well done sex scene in the beginning. Right. Remember like they roll off the bed. Yeah. And, and,
It's just more of a show than you would think it is. I mean, it's pretty graphic, but you're like, wow, this isn't like a low-budget script thrown together. I don't know. It kept me entertaining. So I ate a... It was french fries with ghost pepper cheese sauce and a hamburger patty on top of them. And I filled up a plate of ketchup and just sat in the bed and ate that. And I was so happy. And you texted me and you were like, that was really cool. I have an Andy. And I was like, yeah, we just finished our tour. And I was like...
All right, cool. It was funny, though, how he still made fun of us on stage. He still managed to get his digs in at us, didn't he? He knows what he's doing. I was like, wait a minute. This is our show. And he's like, well, it's my show now. Well, it's great seeing you guys. I'm going to watch the end of this.
Football game, but I want to let's catch everyone up with what we're doing, Austin. I personally will be in Atlanta at America's Mark. Come see me on Thursday. I'm speaking with some other incredible people and we're launching our wholesale business from Sewing Down South called Cobblestone Collective. We'll have a table there if you're in the Atlanta area.
And then I will be at the Kansas City Home Show in a couple weeks. Get your tickets for that. I'll be doing meet and greets and taking pictures and speaking. And then me and Austin and Nick will be in Phoenix February 1st for a Pillows and Beer show. We will have a special guest at that show. And I just, I don't think you want to miss it. You can find tickets for that at pillowsandbeer.com. Our old merch is at pillowsandbeer.com.
And what else is going on, Austin? Which do not get us wrong and don't think that we haven't been talking about this, but we do want to come out with new merch. Even if it's not going to be on the tour, we want some merch that our besties and us, by the way, can get some Pillows and Beer merch. We had some really cool ideas. It just took too long to...
uh get it printed so we certainly want to get um some merch and stuff just like i just got just like a bunch of dms about it um but yeah i mean man after watch what happens tomorrow i fly back to charleston i actually have a free weekend which i'm pretty excited for but then i go to charlotte and i
And I have to have planning meetings with a whole bunch of distributors and wholesalers to ensure that Trap Hop has a seamless reentry into the market come spring. Cause that's, you know, everyone's doing their dry January, even as I just admitted, I drank a whole bunch of NAs yesterday. Um,
But come springtime, when that sun comes out, lo and behold, we'll all be drinking again. And I want to make sure that my reentry into North Carolina is seamless. So next week I'll be doing that. Maybe go to Hornets game on Friday night. And then, yeah, man, Phoenix beckons. No, no, no. Actually, that's not true. Because after that, we fly back to New York because Craig and I are going on a bar crawl with our new business partners who own a bunch of bars in New York City.
And so they own a few bars in Charleston and they own a bunch of bars in New York. And so Craig and I are flying in for the AFC and NFC championship game weekend, which is the 28th. And we're going to be doing a fun little bar crawl through a whole bunch of stuff. I think that Craig reposted it today. I'm going to repost it too, but we'll be posting it as it gets near. So we'll be back in New York. Come and hang out with us on January 28th. Love you guys.
