Hey gang, Sean Clements here. I'm just jumping in to give a little disclaimer before this episode.

What you're about to hear is not by any means a normal episode of our podcast.

And Hazen, I actually went back and forth for a while on whether to even release this.

But ultimately we decided that even if it's not fun, it's maybe kind of important for you guys to hear it.

So what am I talking about?

To give a little bit of context for what you're going to listen to,

this show was recorded during the six hours where we, well, just say it, we thought Brooklyn 9.9 was canceled.

And, um, sorry. And if you remember what that day was like between Fox saying,

This is a show that has only done 112 episodes and there's a lot of story left to tell.

And that comes through. It's not always going to be fun for you to hear.

It's not always going to seem like we have our feet under us.

Hazen wasn't even in the studio.

Our guests, Adam, something also seemed off to me.

But, you know, the fact of the matter is we want you guys to hear this because

even though it's not a great, funny podcast, it is still kind of a symbol of perseverance and of

what can happen when you don't give up and you don't just immediately pack it in.

And you get together with your friends and you lock arms with two other

mid-level white comedians, uh, sort of late 30s.

Um, do it okay, but not set in the world on fire and you,
