This weekend retro-nots.

retronauts.

Call this podcast and necktie because we've got the fours in hand. Hi everyone, welcome to

to Retronauts. I'm Jeremy Parish, and that intro was a joke for the few of

you who have ever worn a necktie in our audience. I realize that's not really the cool nerd thing to do these days. So just trust me when I say it was a funny sartorial punchline. Anyway, here to make lots of stupid jokes about things no one cares about.

We have, actually, I kind of feel like that's all of our MO.

So I found the perfect group for this.

Really, in addition to myself Jeremy Parish we have here

also in North Carolina but not actually recording in the same space as me today because of health issues which seem to be prevalent over the past few years.

Please, who is returning to this show for the first time in quite a while?

That's me. Ben

Edwards. Triumphant return of the king. We'll see how Triumphant it is.

You know, let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. Here on episode 582 of retinauts, that's a long streak, you know, to maintain

triumph. One episode for every patch of hair on my head that I've lost since we started.

Oh, if we're going that, that route, yeah, we're all in trouble.

And also calling in from the beautiful state of Maryland.

That's right. This is a zipper tie, zipper neck tie enthusiast Kevin Bunch.

Wow, you can get zippers on those now?

Yes, I don't know where it came from. I just have one and uh, my wife always makes fun of me whenever I wear it.

Too easy.

That's even better than Velcro necktie.

Yeah.
