It is Tuesday, January 3rd, 2017, and this is episode 51 of Backside of Magic.

This episode is brought to you by Ed's Diner. Everyone knows that when you want the finest breakfast in town, Ed's diner is the place to be.

In fact, recently Ed's has been the victim of its own success, and a new policy of phased closures is being implemented.

During a phase A closure, every order will be honored, but you must eat in the parking lot.

During a phase B closure, only in-state residents may order, and you must eat in some other parking lot. Phase Z closures require you to get the password from Ed's neighbor, denounce your family,

and eat in the stands of the Little League ball fields.

During a rare phase red closure,

one person your party shall be selected and prepared as the entree.

No substitutions please.

This is Backside of Magic, and I'm Ryan. With me, as always, is my co-host, Jeremy. Jeremy,

what do you know? Not much, Ryan. How are you doing today? Doing well. I am staring down the barrel of another Disney trip. It's exciting. Yes, it always is. That's why we do what we do to get those trips. Also exciting and why we do what we do is to get iTunes reviews. And we got four iTunes reviews recently.

Four!

Yes, thank you to these folks who all have somewhat difficult names to interpret,

so I will do my best.

But thank you to D.M. Smith, H.

Hayes, D.V.C, Disney mom of three girls. That one's pretty easy. And Pegson, Nax. I'll go with that. Thank you all for taking the time to do that.

Yes, much appreciated. Thank you much.
