Hi, everyone. We're back. Hi, it's me, your mom.

It's your dad, dad. You're dad. I know it doesn't feel, it always feels like a long time to us.

I know. When was the last?

Because of our recording schedule, but technically we have been releasing every single week. It's just like our recording for you and I has felt like quite a bit. Exactly. Well, you know, it has been two weeks. Oh, wait. One, two. Oh, it's been three weeks since we last recorded. I thought it was only two, but it's been three. Yeah, guys, we took a little bit of a time off. We did a flashback episode this week. And we were overlapping with Fourth of July. We had vacations. So we took a little summer siesta from the show, if you will. But we're back on our regular schedule. I should say our regular summer schedule,

as you know, for those who are listening every week, we're doing NMR one Sunday and full

murder episode on the other Sunday. So those are now once a week. But if you sign up on Patreon,

which some of you are listening to this are,

you get it early. You get at both episodes. NMR comes out a handful of days early and their

full episode a whole week early. So if you really want to stay super in touch with what we're up

to, you're going to want to sign up for Patreon. I, link in the notes.

Couldn't agree more.

But yeah, it feels like a while for you, for us, excuse me, because I was gearing up

to go to my brother's like wedding in Santa Barbara.

I mean, wedding is sort of a loose term.

I would say it was more like a celebration.

Not that it wasn't like celebrating a wedding, which I guess is the same thing. Okay. But it was more like a celebration. Not that it wasn't like celebrating a wedding,

which I guess is the same thing. Okay. But it wasn't like official marriage. How did he call it? What did

he call it? We all, as the Carps decided to call it the wedding thingy. Okay, there you go.

The wedding thingy. I like that. As the scientific term. But if you've never been to Santa Barbara, just lovely. You've talked about it a couple times. I've never been there and you seem to really like it. It was my second time there. The last time he had gone was right at New Year's before I proposed to Nadine. So it was like it was my first, it was my second time going back, but it was like the first time I said like, Oh, we're going as engaged couple. Yeah. And it was my first it was my second time going back but it was like the first time I said like

oh we're going as engaged couple yeah and it was just really nice it was smaller which was great

um Aaron Rot was there which was super fun and the Saturday night dinner was um was like

in an orchard that her friend had owned it's like 30 person dinner and it And what was nice about it was like, because it was just my parents, me, Nadine, and then like rot, like everyone else was really Meredith's friends. So we got to meet a lot of Meredith's people. And that was really nice, like kind of getting to know different types of people. Because at weddings, you're always sitting like with your college friends or the family or or like those your business school friends and so it was kind of nice to meet other people in this
