Hello, can you hear me? Yeah, how's it going? Good, I couldn't hear you for a second there. I don't know what happened. Strange, the failures and the misgivings of our audio on pop-apologists.

That does bring us to some news. Should we give the of our

givings on pop apologists. That does bring us to some news. Should we give the good people the good news?

The good news, the tidings of great joy.

Yes.

Ladies and gentlemen, Lauren and I have invested three figures into new audio equipment.

That's how much this podcast is becoming a black hole of throwing money into the abyss.

We are now just thrown down a good chunk of change for some

professional microphones so we sound less crappy as we record for you people.

I've never even spent that much money at a Nordstrom rack. We spent $300 on this audio equipment per person.

I've never spent more than $300 at a shopping place.

Yeah, we sure did. We threw down some big bucks. So hopefully it pays off and we don't sound so crappy.

Yeah, fingers crossed, if not, we're probably just going to have to call this podcast quits because we'll have poured everything into it.

I feel like with this podcast is like a continual process of packing a bag to get on a train,

but the train never is leaving the station.

They're just always prepping to leave. But the train never is leaving the station.

They're just always prepping to leave.

Always prepping to leave, always stressing about having to prep to leave.

And you just shouldn't stress because the train's not going anywhere.

No, it's not.

I'm glad we have a faithful, like three listeners.

That's all life to say.
