The Hello, everybody.

It is Maddie here today.

And welcome to episode 274 of Defining Duke and Xbox podcast. We hope you're all doing absolutely excellent. Spring is upon us. And joining me as always is Lord Cognito batting leadoff for the New York Mets. Actually, no, you'd be batting cleanup. Yeah, yeah. Or if you'd be back and cleanup, for sure. Power.

Put the power in there.

You know what I'm saying?

100%.

How are you doing today, good sir?

I'm doing all right.

I'm doing all right. It's just, I'm actually not ready for the heat. Yeah. In a weird way, in a weird way. It's nice outside New York City. We're in the 70s.

It's beautiful outside.

Unfortunately, in my place, the heat is still on.

And I am suffering.

I am, bro, it's just muggy. And then when it gets very humid, I got the windows over it. I don't want to, I'm not ready to put in like the air, the AC and all that going just yet. So it's kind of

for suffering. It's only my own, it's kind of my own fault. But it's just like, bro, I'm like in a fog. I can't work like that. Like I really am trudging along. You know what I'm saying? Yeah. So I'm dealing with it. I've been begging for this heat. Now that I got it, I'm not complaining. I'm keeping the perspective alive and well that I was

fucking miserable during this winter, right? Like I just every ounce of snow felt personal.

So this heat's been really nice. The sweat has felt great. But I'm with you. It's because now we're

in the awkward period. It's a little too cold out these next few days where you turn on the ACs.

It's like, you can't on and off the system like that. You just can't. So, all right, we got to hang with the windows open, old fashion style, lock and file, European style. The fans go. Yeah, got the fans going. It's like, okay, that's fine. But there's that claminess, that inescapable clammyness.

Like you've got an extra layer on your skin.

That's how I described. going. It's like, okay, that's fine. But there's that claminess, that inescapable claminess.

Like, you got an extra layer on your skin. That's how I describe it. So that's how it is right now in the Maddie household. Just a little touch clammy. Not bad. But I can believe bust out the shorts for the first time. Yeah, I'm a basketball shorts right now. I was like, no, I talk about outside, though.
