Welcome, this is an awesome podcast to the Jeff, there's a lot of whiskey Jeff Macolino.

Jeff Macolino Macolino Macolino podcast, hey everybody, welcome to the latest and greatest

episode of the Jeff Macolino podcast. Very excited for this one. This is one of the guests I probably

spent more time than almost any other guest. Let's say researching him and mainly that was because I

could not stop watching his YouTube videos. Brad Goss is a, we'll say a children's book author,

though these children's books are not exactly ones that you would probably have your children read,

especially not your small children. Some very funny, funny things he will hang on throughout the

episode and you will hear him read one of his excellent books to me. He has jingles that go with all

of them. It's great. Thanks so much to Brad for coming on because and thanks for, you know, I

mentioned in my intro and outro last week, I was suffering from the flu. Well, I recorded this

episode kind of day one of the flu. I was, I woke up, I want to say it like 130. I ended up throwing

up a few hours before this podcast recording. Honestly, I poured myself a drink for this mainly

because it, it helped my throat a little bit. I think I stopped drinking immediately after this

and then I was basically unconscious for three to four days or I don't remember much because I had

a high fever. So the, the health was not very lucky for this, but I had a great guest who was able to

honestly kind of carry this episode a little bit here. So I don't think he was aware I was battling,

but I apologize to him afterwards. I think I did a pretty good job editing out most of my coughing

after the fact. I thanked him for bearing with me as I coughed in his ear constantly for an hour.

He said, Hey, no problem to me. I'm not the one editing the audio. Like, Oh, no. Fortunately,

it wasn't, wasn't too terrible. I did a good job of holding my coughs for moments of silence,

not in the middle of him speaking or anything. So bear with me if I cough a couple times in this episode.

And yeah, otherwise, I'll see you on the flip side. Enjoy this episode with me and Brad Goss.
