A little bit different episode today. You might notice the time stamp on this.

I think this is going to turn out to be a much shorter episode.

We're having another one of those situations where because of the rolling

train wreck that my life has been for the past month

We ended up in yet another situation where I would have

Cancelled this episode so that I could put out the latest explosive fire

that is part of this train wreck but Caitlin has four young children who she brings up with her when we record this and she was already in the car.

I think there are a lot of takeaways that we can get from this.

I've got to stop checking email in the afternoon

that we do podcast recordings because I need to learn that it's never good did you guys know okay did you guys see the movie dune

pain. Did you see it? Do you know what I'm talking about? Okay. This is a famous scene in Dune and I guess I guess it's like to test his worthiness because he's a prince or something

So he slips his hand into this box and you can see this I mean it's incredible acting on the

the part of this actor I mean that the way his face contorts into this is the

worst pain known to mankind and it's and the the lady is seeing if he can handle it so his hand is in the box

He's he's dropping to his knees in agony. That's me checking my email right now.

That is, every day of my life is hand in the dune box at this point.

So I've rather than keep making these opaque references to why I keep

almost cancelling my podcast taping because my life is a dumpster fire I need to just tell you guys what's going on so this will be a short episode

where I'll tell you as much as I can about what is going on and I do have an exciting
