Welcome back to single track. We've been off air for the last 10 days taking a nice little break as far as regular podcasting goes. But the tank is filled with unleaded stoke.

0:14.6

Wait, is letted stoke? Is unleaded inferior, Brett? I mean, I don't know. I mean, it's probably, I have no idea. I just

0:24.2

0:30.4

Okay. Oh, wow. Yeah. I was going for like the race fuel, like out in the boonies outside of my

0:36.7

parents' house. There's this one gas station in the

0:38.9

0:45.9

1:43.1

episode is going to work. We're just going to kind of trade takeaways all episode long,

1:47.2

riff off each other as we see fit because we want to be chill like that.

1:51.4

So with that said, Brett,

1:52.7

I hope this podcast introduction finds you well,
