Hi, cold open here from John and Hank to let you know that we have some exciting new merch available. No, it's not it's to talk about

The global pandemic that is COVID-19 and that has caused so much disruption to so many people's lives. I don't know

Is that how we want to do it? I don't know you tell me you try cold open everybody

It is a stressful and

Disconcerting time and it is when we were all being asked to

Do things that we may not want to do but I'm happy myself to be doing all the hand washing and working from home and not face touching and

Social distancing that I can

That's very easy for you to say and also that we're not you can't do all the social distancing

You can you have to do all the social distancing. Yeah, well, it's like yeah, so this is this is the thing

You are aware of this problem. We are aware of this problem now. Let's have some time where we're not always thinking about it and there is

There is space to be in a world as it exists without it being like without sort of

Experiencing dread during every second of a terrible situation. Yeah, I think we should be calm

I think we should be kind. I think we should be compassionate

But I also think we should understand where we are where this is in history and that there has not been a moment like this in our lives

And there will not be a moment like this again. Hopefully. Yeah, one more try one more try

Hi cold open

Look, we're gonna try to have some laughs today, but

We are also cognizant of the fact that for many of you probably most of you

This is a profoundly

uncertain and

scary

Time we don't know what to say about that all we can say
