Welcome to today's podcast. We have the return, the long-awaited return. My brother, Kyle T-Man, as I've affectionately called him for a very long time, is somebody I've known, God, I don't even know how long now. It's closing the 10-year mark, somewhere around there. He was, you know, we're from similar neck of the woods. He's from Santa Cruz. I'm from San Jose, South Bay-ish. But we've had some of the most epic adventures together, you know, and I brought team in out to Austin, to party and have fun in the scene. When we first got here, we did some really cool shit.
