Hi, this is Alonzo Bowden. I want to welcome you to episode 274.5 of my podcast, who's paying attention. Why of

point five? Well, because I feel episode 275 should be a big one. Should be good. She put some more

work into it. And not that I'm not putting work into this one. This is just going to be a quicker

podcast. The reason is it to be a quicker podcast.

The reason is it has been a busy week.

It's been a very good week, but it's been a very busy week.

As some of you know, because some of you tuned in and I really appreciate it,

I did a comedy show last night.

I did a stand-up show at the Nowhere Comedy Club, which was like a virtual club experience through Zoom. The really cool thing was I could hear you guys laughing. Like,

there was an interactive component. So, you know, doing stand-up, obviously getting the laughs

as part of the energy and part of the rhythm of doing it.

And I've been doing some streaming shows and some other podcasts and things like that, which are more like radio because you're just putting it out there.

And I don't hear if you guys are laughing.

I hope you're laughing, but I don't hear it.

Well, with this comedy club

set up, I was able to hear to laugh, so that was cool. But I did have to try to set it up. I mean,

you know, setting up lights and a camera in my breakfast nook wasn't the most professional looking

thing. And I've been ordering lights and a high desk, and I'm going to try to make a little studio in the

house to do these things better because this looks like what it's going to be for a while.

This is my business for a while.

It's going to be recording and videos and stuff like that.

So I'm going to try to make them a little more professional.
