Hello everyone. It's your boy. You always know why I did it. I feel like that's out of style now. I feel like that was very 2007. 2007. Yeah. Oh, I mean 2017. It's your boy now it's 2018.

So episode 300 still coming elephant in the room here. I was saying before to Will and Micah that this is the best advertising for an episode.

Because I've hyped like we've we've done countdowns before like there's a countdown to like 250 and 250. This might be the best because not everyone uses Twitter or Facebook or goes the website.

So then they just know that like that's another 299. But we are giving you real episodes. So they're not like fake. Yeah. 299s. Sounds like an IRS tax return.

Give me the only old 299. Just 299. Well, you do your taxes yet. I did my taxes. Got my refunds. Bet my refund. I'm beyond tax land. Oh, man. I haven't started. I mean either.

All right. I stressed. I don't even want to think about it. Well, let me take your mind off things, Micah. And we can dive into some Pokemon news and celebrate Will's birthday. Now that is that international Pokemon news. Yeah. Are you kidding me?

Are you kidding me? It is on ceremony.net William Anderson. 46 years old. Wow. Wow. Dude. Step it back. Step it. You can't just how do you?

45. I'm 45. 46. You don't. Steve. I'm sorry. Well, come on. I don't care. I mean, I'm not I'm not ashamed that I'm 40. You know, I put any of people from my generation have not lasted to 45. I know I'm not going to take it to the dark places. This is already said. Drag it me down. Happy. Happy birthday. I have halfway to 90 years old. Happy birthday. Good way to look at it. All right.
