This is beyond a reasonable doubt with your hosts Mark Geragus and Gary Smith.

Well, welcome Gary on the road. You know, usually this kind of a flip-flop from our usual, but I'm on a stay occasion while Gary is out traveling somewhere in the southwest.

Yeah, yeah, but I think by the time you hear this I'll be I'll be back home, but yeah, I'm somewhere out in the desert trying to spend some time with family but always have time for you

Mark. Thank you I appreciate it. My dogs thank you and happy new year Gary.

Happy New Year every dog deserves a good walk on New Year's Eve, so far be it for me to mess that up.

So happy to wait.

Thank you so much.

So I think the big news this week is, and I just sent it to you, so I know you have not read it unless you're the throwback to the Evelyn Wood speed reader.

By the way, I also selected the comment of the week.

You want to put that up? I don't have the image but I can read it so let's see here. It said, it said, I'm, it said, I'm going to make it a little bigger. I'm a bit insulted that Gary doesn't read my comments every week. I make mine from the

kitchen island in church where I read the captions during the music or from the toilet generally.

My mom never had a basement. That's pretty funny.

Yeah, but I thought it was clever.

So merch is on your way. You have to get a hold of Gary somehow. I don't know. We'll

figure out a way to make that happen. Let's the comment of the week and the filing of the

week is the 82 as the aforementioned 82 page filing by Jack Smith.

Actually, before we get to that, just because you alluded to it, let's point out that the

merch is at least initially not going to be available for purchase.

So the only way to get your merch is to be a commenter on our YouTube page and you must

subscribe as well because I'm going to check just because you

commented if you're not subscribed then you're ineligible so go to YouTube.com

slash reasonable doubt podcast subscribe and then comment on the show and the cleverest comment
