Hi everyone. I am so sorry about this episode is late. Oh, that's right. Well, it's nobody's fall. We just had a little bit of a scheduling

smash. That's why we can just play on that. That's why we have Matt here so that we can blame him. Although he's not here in the room for this particular episode.

Did you have a good July 4th recap? Sorry, do you have a good journey for week? Yes. Let's recap. Let's recap.

I did. I took the whole week off. It was just kind of weird because I had just taken tired from your vacation.

Well, I was tired from my trip to London. So I had to take a whole week off. But I just went back to Maryland and just chilled out for a couple of days.

It was really nice. I went to look like you had fun with your family. I did. Some cute like cousin pictures and these and a few and stuff.

Yeah, yeah. All different kids hanging out with me, which I love going back and seeing. I did go to back to Morgan town, West Virginia,

where I went to school and I met up with one of my old best friends, Sienna Brown, who does a podcast called. What a name.

I'd be friends with us. I know, right? Cool name, which is actually a lot about like bravo related things.

So you might want to listen to it, Darren.

So she won a man. Well, let's see. I know she would love to. I'm sure.

Did you burn a couch when you're home? No, I didn't. I did sit on a couch. I did not burn it, which is a WVU tradition.

It seems I learned this. You told me about this a few days ago. It's a thing. Bringing it back. Yeah, it was nice to visit my old college town.

And then I went to Pittsburgh for a day or two to visit my best friend, Brittany. Yeah, I know there are a couple of listeners.

We met at CrimeCon that are from Pittsburgh and hopefully we'll be back there. Maybe we'll do a live show there one day, but let me let me read your note.

You know, I like reading how you write these things out. You love it. Dog sitting. Oh my God too much made me rethink wanting a dog.

Yes, that's in our show notes. What you like me to explain this? I think we all would. Well, basically, what kind of dog?

It's a chocolate lab. If you go to my chocolate lab, if you go to my insta, you'll see the pictures. Her name is Lucy.

She's a little puppy. I don't know how old she is. I don't even think she's a year yet. She's little. She's little.

And I got to town to visit my family on like a Friday and my aunt was like, oh my God, it's so nice to see you.

By the way, do you want a dog sit for two days because we're going to Hershey Park. And I was like, not particularly, but I'll do it because I don't mind.

I have a dog. Also, like I'm the only one in town that has nothing to do for the week. So I was like, sure, I'll do it.
