Our area's top veteran's advocate -- Billy "Shep" McLawhorn -- joins us to catch us up on all the great veteran's activities that are coming up, including an event at G.I. Joe's (1165B NC-11, Kinston) Friday at 7 p.m. He also helps preview the 2025 Freedom Classic, which will take place Feb. 21-23 at Historic Grainger Stadium.

Jon, Jonathan and Bryan banter about stuff, including the potential of Bryan getting cornrows (spoiler: he isn't). They also wish happy birthday to Leah Peoples, Jones County Commissioner Frank Emory and the late Adrian King.
