Welcome to shaken and disturbed everybody.

He's got a glass of water.

And being professional and wetting the whistle

before we start. I thought you were going to keep going. But here we go. The wiss. He's wetting

the wiss. Welcome to Shakeda disturbed. I am Derek Karp here with John Thrasher. John has water.

I have a sparkly substance from Trader Joe is my seltter from Trader Joe. A sparkly substance?

There you go. You know, I typically would have, you remember the days Darren's making a great face. By the way, watch us on YouTube so you can see all of this. Yes, subscribe. Smash that subscribe button. Look at me smashing. There you go. Oh, look at Darren's Matt. Oh, okay. That's going to be the thumbnail, isn't it, this week? It might be. It'll probably end up being that um you know last summer especially i was really going ham on diet coax every time we would record yes i don't

if i told you but i've started to kind of give up diet coke a little bit just a little bit i'm not

having one a day one or two a day like I was before.

I'm not buying it at the supermarket.

Let's put it that way.

If I get it, it's usually like, you know, at lunch when I'm at work or something, I might grab one. I get it out at dinner. If I'm out somewhere, I'll get a diet cook as like a treat. But yeah, I stopped buying it too just to like half less diet soda.

I mostly just drink salt and water now or like Gatorade Zero.

That's where. Because, you know, if you listen to this week's NMR that's up and available now, we talk a little bit about how I got another cold. Okay, a couple weeks ago, we had to take a week off. Yes, you did. It's like you have a child at home. I know. know well I think it's because I'm back in the office you know I had been remote for the last three years I have a

new position now and on a college campus is like college campus it just feels like that that's even

more of a petri dish of whatever the fuck college gets up going around these days. God only knows. But anyway, I'm back to

just water for now, which I think is probably the best and healthiest option. Of course.

You and Magic are on the same type of drinking diet. I wish he was. He's clearly drinking

and eating other things because he's three times the size he is.

You got to have him on the video, though. Like, remember we said that this was going to be the new

thing that he was going to make an appearance of some sort? It'd be nice. You know, he's been doing

this thing recently where he hides under my bed a lot, not like necessarily hides, but just hangs out
