I'm I'm going to be. I'm going to be. I'm going to I'm going to I'm Hi, everyone.

Welcome to shaken and disturbed.

You might not recognize my voice, but this is Daddy Cat, Derek Garb talking to you.

You might have a lower voice than I do right now.

I mean, I've always had a lower voice than you do. I feel like might have a lower voice than I do right now. I mean, I've always had a lower voice than you do.

I feel like I have a lower voice, but it's also like teenage boy, like cracking a little bit.

Yeah.

You know, like it's struggle bus, honestly.

So sorry we couldn't do an NMR this week, but we did our Patreon live stream and I needed needed my voice just needed a break for a minute because I had BravoCon and we'll get to all of that stuff next week on NMR because I know we have kind of a big case today that we want to get to, but I apologize for my voice. I am literally, this is, we're recording this a day after a four day marathon of BravoCon. I've never more tired of my life. And how was it? Can you just tell us quickly? Was it like, because this is the first one in a couple of years, right? This is the second one we've ever done since 2019 was the first one. Hard to do it in COVID because you're spending so much for tickets. You don't want to take a picture in a mask.

You don't want everyone.

No, that's true.

You don't want that. It was really great. I thought Bravo did an amazing job. There were incredible activations. If you watched Bravo at all this weekend, you probably saw some of my spots on air, which were really fun. but it was for me personally like amazing but just like honestly I've never been out exhausted

in my whole life like I would come air which were really fun um but it was for me personally like amazing but just like honestly

i've never been out exhausted in my whole life like i would come home and i would just like immediately

go over bed i couldn't do anything else i didn't have energy any energy to do anything i had done

so much and to be like on like that and i'm sure you were being recognized. Did any of our listeners by any chance, Darren, spot you and be like, I love your podcast? I did get a bunch of people saying they love the podcast, which was really, really great. But that's the thing. It's not even just like long work hours. It's that I have to like interview and be on and be screaming. Hence the reason my voice is like this. So I have to just admit right up the top, today I'm drinking Gatorade Zero. I'm just going to say, in between our little pauses, you guys, she's chugging Gatorade Zero, which she's turned me on too, by the way. Nadine has been so lovely making me like hot water a lot, but today i don't think alcohol's really gonna help my voice

definitely not uh might help my mentality but yeah that's right that's right what are you drinking

well i'm really upset because i ran out of java house coffee okay that's number one me too i know it's

really annoying i've drank it all so i was like let me just run up to the new Starbucks that just

opened in my hometown. I'm really pumped about it. By the way, would not go to Dunkin' Donuts.

Okay, we don't do that in this house. But anyway, stop ordering your hazelberry bullshit.

Well, listen, that was a mistake. But so I went to Starbucks. They're out of everything. You know, these new stores, you know, people love to go. My hometown's pumped about it. But it's like, you know, you go up there and I wanted a pumpkin spice. I'll tell you why in a second. With soy milk. I don't love soy milk, but I do love it with a hot latte. Okay. Let me live. Then I ordered a cream cheese pumpkin muffin. A hot te. A hot tea. A cream cheese pumpkin muffin. They're out of that. I'm like, okay, so back to the latte. They're out of soy milk. They're like, the only milk we have is almond milk, which I typically like if it's sweetened. I was like, all right, almond milk's good. The whole point was I was going to
