The following is an archive podcast presented by the Branson and Hudson Foundation for podcast recovery, a Charles Austin company.

It is the first and only episode of the podcast. Welcome to episode one.

I call to order now the 17,215th roster of the Nature's Council, five, well, well, four, we're waiting on, we're

waiting on one still, four stalwart champions of nature who serve the needs of the wild and

guided through the difficulties of famine, disease, and encroaching civilization.

As we all know, the animals of the world

recently had an election resulting in every sitting member of the council getting voted off.

So due to the bylaws of the nature's council and no senior member being present, I, brother

John, father, druid representing the swamp, will be placed as the leader of the council because I won the headbut contest.

All right, we are gathered here in the sacred grove of tree to sill, the tree tree, the tree that represents all other trees, mostly metaphorically.

I don't really know what it does. It's just sort of, well, it's sort of very mystical looking

tree, I think. I think brother Elizabeth knows what it is. We're kind of waiting on him to show up.

It's twisted. It's a big tree. So it's

definitely sacred. I just don't know how yet. Sap. It's probably got like sap. I think the old

guys on the council knew what the tree did. So if anybody sees any notes that they left, any kind

of books or anything, just kind of let me know.

I feel like we're flying blind here a little bit.

Oh, roll call.

We do roll call first.

All right.

Since it's the first meeting, I suggest we go ahead and do a little icebreaker.

After that, we can open up to new business and vote on the future of the forest.
