Welcome to Behind the Fulcast. This is Ryan and just Ryan here.

Uh, we're gonna do something different with this episode. You're probably expecting our 40 for 40 previews of the

Cotton and Orange Bulls, which also happen to be the College Football Playoff semi-finals.

Seemingly games we should take a little more seriously or try to provide some analysis of this episode is not that.

Instead, I'm going to try to walk you through how this shambling wreck of a podcast gets made.

What goes wrong? Not just on this episode, but on many episodes.

And give you a little bit of a window behind the scenes so you can see how this truly, truly not food safe sausage is made.

Let's begin. I'm trying to decide whether to kill Blue Strabler for only having 35k followers.

I'll do it. Yeah.

How are you going to give people to run around with only 35k?

That's right. Maybe you could use a better hope.

It leads you back. Okay, hold on.

Just like your focused.

Yes, this is this is this is this is this focus is I get I took notes for this shit. I'm proud of you. I'm proud of you.

All right, um, Jake, is everybody recording a new?

So let's stop there for a second. Um, I've obviously left in some of the pre episode portion of our conversation for a couple of reasons.

One, I want you to know why things are about to go where they're going to go that it didn't come out of nowhere that

Spencer and his blues travel or fixation was because of the world around him or the world he puts himself into at least.

Second, I want to let you know that the recording you're listening to is just a simple grab of the audio conversation as a whole.

Normally what we do is we each record a separate audio track. We each have a mic. We each record it locally.

I record a backup using our conference call system.

And that gives me individual tracks for each one of us, although it's just Skype quality and it gives me the call as a whole.
