This is the Baymaw podcast with Marty Solomon.

I'm his co-host, Brent Billings.

Today, Josh Bossay and I join Kohelet as she draws us closer to a conclusion.

Yes, which, what a dangerous thing to say in a book like this.

I mean, we're getting there.

We still have a little bit of ground cover.

Yes, yes, indeed.

You know what we forgot to mention in the last episode, though, Josh?

What's that?

You have a new audio setup.

That's true.

If I am sounding more, more luscious, these tones are, these tones are, I mean, man, I don't think
