In today's episode (Number 50!) we begin by chatting with Dee Kellner from local business The Merry Dog Holistic & Nutrition Store. Dee provides holistic pet food, engaging toys, nutritional supplements, and personalized health consultations that address your pet's unique needs. She also has raw goat milk for your pets - direct from her own herd. We also talk about stock shows, rodeo prayers, TikTok, listening rooms and naps. Not necessarily in that order.

OK, "extravaganza" may be a bit of an overstatement. Though it is a bit of a Christmas miracle that the episode got recorded at all. But there is a ton of Christmas (and Hanukkah) talk on this episode. We also talk heifers (of course) and the general chaos of the season. Mike highlights his recently departed friend and icon of Texas Music, Tommy Alverson. Talk to y'all soon.

This week we welcome Kristine Pruitt. She was gracious enough to share the story of her son Kade's ongoing battle with Leukemia. It was a great and enlightening conversation about how they even considered getting him checked out. Good to remember that ongoing health issues like Kade's affect the whole family and community. Lots of shout-outs to the amazing Cook Children's Hospital.

We also have our obligatory hunting and heifer talk, plus Misty on sports (everyone is winning). Reagan gives some info on where to donate locally to the victims of Hurricane Helene. Then Mike gushes on and on about the great Kris Kristofferson.
