Marshall and Saga here. Welcome back to the Realignment.

Everyone, this is the first of the expanded discussion episodes that we promised

with the launch of our supercast. We'll really quickly because it's Friday and we took the past two

production costs a lot of money, a lot of the equipment and stuff. It may seem, you know, even the

most low-tech pods still cost money in order to distribute and especially to do it right,

and to do it right at the highest level costs serious money. So that's just something that I would

admire. I would just remind people it's something that is very helpful. I can guarantee you, like,
