Hey, what's going on? This is the started on South podcast. I am Conor O'Cara. Well, I'm back. Back, maybe. Yeah.

First day. It's been a journey, bro. It's been weird. You can already tell. I'm off for them because like this was such a big part of my life

Just like recording and everything. It's great to see you, bro. Good. Good to see you, man. Good to see you

So for those who are kind of like, wait, what are you guys talking about? You've had weekly pods coming out. Have not recorded any of those

Live recorded all of those ahead of time. Hopefully you enjoyed the evergreen pods that we've done the last three episodes
