Talking people, talking places from Bubba's perspective. Hello again everybody and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you. This is the Bubba on the Lake podcast. I am your semi retired, mostly washed up post, formerly the Rick and Bubba show and now your lovable host for Bubba on the Lake and our other podcast, the Tailgate Tailgate Show. We're broadcasting from the Meliella studio. And thanks for the pictures from the Melayella fans out there. I've been getting those. Our website is BubbaontheLake.com and of course you can send me a message at bubba@bubbaonthelake.com or you can use our comment line 308 Big Lake. And we also ask that you turn on notifications you subscribe. Follow us on all of our social media. All that stuff helps. I know it's a pain. Nobody wants to go and check those boxes, but it really does help with all the metrics of what we have to deal with in podcasting today. And of course most important are the people who make this podcast possible. Russell Lance Coke, Buffalo Wild Wings, Central State bank, guaranteed labels, Dr. Thomas Dudney, sunrise Docs, Bankers Bounty, Southern Immediate Care, the Green Monster Light and Bice Motors. We want to thank those sponsors who have made this show possible this year. And this is kind of a landmark program not only because it's Christmas time, but this is podcast number 40. And our original goal when we started in March of this year was to do 40 shows by the time we got back around to March. So we're actually ahead of schedule. We haven't taken a lot of time off, we hadn't missed a lot of shows and we're probably going to take a couple of weeks off after this one to enjoy Christmas with our family. We'll probably record a few segments and we'll share them with you coming up next year. But we're ahead of schedule so we probably will take a few weeks. But there again that's why we say turn on notifications. That way when a podcast drops, you immediately get a notification and it immediately loads it on your phone or however you're getting this. So a lot of cool things that that this format allows you to do. So thankful. Just so thankful. Got so many great emails the whole year, but especially lately and you know, it's been a, it's been a challenging year to say the least. Starting this new project and then having our, our little fun with our artificial knee that required three surgeries and hopefully we're on top of that. PICC line is gone, by the way. We're still having to take some antibiotics and will for a while, but that's just par for the course. But we're, we're, we're doing well. Knock, knock on wood. Everything is going fairly well on that front. So we're going to have to start some rehab here before long. That'll be fun. Everybody who has ever been to rehab knows how much fun that can be and how you look forward to that. But folks, we have a great podcast. I'm very excited about this one. Not only is it number 40, not only is it probably the last one of the year. We'll see if you don't get one in the next couple of weeks. Don't panic, don't panic. I'll be back. But we have some special guests on here that I've wanted to get on here for a while. Our very own former producer for the show, Don Juan DeMarco, will make his first appearance ever on Bubba on the Lake. Now, we're excited about this. Demarco Williams, very funny, just a great guy and very privileged to call him friend and work with him as long as we did. We had some really great memories and we'll bounce back and flash back on some of that while we talk. But we appreciate you guys being there. I mean, you guys have made it happen. I get so many great emails. I don't just bog you down by reading them all to you. That can be a little self indulgent. But I want you to know those of you that send it and every now and then I do share some, I admit I share some, but they really mean a lot to me. Betty reads them, Hunter reads them and we, we really appreciate that. We're just talking about our great sponsors that are on the program here and one of them that has stepped up big time, that's going to be with us through the year next year is Russell Land. Now, if you are needing gifting ideas and you're kind of tired of the usual stuff, you know, clicking and, you know, the socks and, you know, the underwear and cologne for dad, you want to do something a little different, let me suggest that you treat your friends and family to an unforgettable meal at Spring House Fanny's or Collidure Restaurant. Three of my favorite and they're all right on Highway 63 outside Alexander City if you're in this part of the country or you can grab gourmet cookies, gift cards from Catherine's Market and Brew 63. Now, if you're a lake lover, Russell Marine has apparel, gear and accessories that your loved ones or you, if you want to get it for yourself, will actually use. You need to go in there and check some of that out. Now, if you're a homeowner or you like doing DIY projects, you need to check out Russell Do it center and Building Supply. They have tools, decor and practical gifts that will hit the mark. I love the Do It Centers. I go in the one at Alexandra City and Eclectic all the time and they're big. They got a lot of stuff in them. But you know, a lot of those big box stores that just got, you feel like stuff, they're just filling the shelves with. What I like about the Do It Centers is they actually have stuff that I use and that I need and it's easy to find and they do a great job with that. So check one of those out wherever it is closely located to you. There's, there's locations all over the place. And if you need other Lake Life favorites, stocking stuffers, Russell Lands has something for everybody this holiday season. They are in the spirit, let me tell you. It's, it's, it's like having the North Pole here at the lake. It's great and we appreciate them being a sponsor here on the program. Speaking of all the sponsors, I listed them a little earlier. They, they love to hear from you guys. Of course they want your business and if you can support them, we love that. But if, say you're not needing what they sell at this particular moment, drop them an email, let them know that you appreciate them being a sponsor of Bub on the Lake. They love getting those emails. They love hearing from you guys. So we have a lot to do. So we're going to get it rolling here. Big d. Don Juan DeMarco, former producer and longtime friend, is going to check in with us from Atlanta and we're going to have him up right after this on Bubba on the Lake.
