Hello, everyone, and welcome to this week's episode of the Disunplugged Connecting with Walt podcast. I am your co-host of connecting with Walt, Craig Williams, still filling

in for host Michael Bowling while he is in the hospital. I actually have some good news and some bad news in regards to Michael. So the good

news is I finally did get a text message directly from Michael and not his daughter, which

that made me extremely happy to see. Unfortunately, Michael had to use speech-to-text dictation on his phone, so it was a little bit

hard to decipher, but I think I got most of the gist of what he was going through in the hospital

through clearly. And so, yes, I finally got some news from Michael. So that was very, very positive. I was so happy to get a text message and see that it was actually coming from him and not from his daughter.

So the bad news in that regards is I got filled in on the situation. And as much as I would love to say that Michael will be back

with us in a week or two weeks, it still seems pretty indefinite on when he'll actually be

returning to the show. So that means we're going to have to keep plugging through our

archived episodes, which I think they're actually very entertaining,

as I've said before. And I know that a lot of people probably haven't gone back and ever

listened to them before if they weren't originally fans of the Dis Unplug Disneyland Edition

show. So it's a good opportunity to hear some of the, episodes that Michael did that ultimately led to the creation of connecting with Waltz.

So I hope that you will enjoy them for the next couple weeks.

And I know that when we can finally get back to recording new episodes and releasing some of the ones we already

have in the bank right now, some of the ones we did with Mary Jo. I know we're very much looking

forward to that, but it's just going to be a little bit longer until we get to then. So in the

meantime, I know Michael really, really does appreciate all
