Oh hey, it's green tea, which is delicious and satisfying as is and does not want, or need

to have mint or jasmine or tropical or blueberry pomegranate essence thrown in. Thank you very much,

Alli Ward. Back with another episode of Oligis. So this episode is exciting for just a whole

hamper full of reasons, one being that it was recorded remotely. Now I just announced on Patreon

this coming week, I'll be in Kansas City, Nebraska, South Dakota, North Dakota, Minneapolis,

in Wisconsin. I'm gathering up I think 11 face to face interviews with Oligis over six days,

but this Oligis was in Florida and I have been wanting to interview her for a while and I'm not

super interesting, and one of my favorites. Now I'm like, Hagfish, yes, wow. So make your life

in the world better by listening to Oligis and becoming another loyal child of Dadward. Thank you,

my tiny being. I pat you on the head. Okay, addictionology. Yes, yes, yes, it's a word, it's a thing.
