Hello, I'm Hal Lublin.

And I'm Mark Gagliardi.

Since the dawn of humanity, one issue has gone unsettled.

With the fate of the world and the balance, we're here to settle once and for all.

Best movie title drop.

That's right.

Don't worry, everyone.

We got this.

Podcasts should have a theme song. Podcasts should not have a theme song.

Yes, they should. No, they shouldn't. They sound good. Yeah, but people are just going to skip past it.

Hmm. You know what? You're right. We got this.

Hey, buddy. How you feeling? You know what? I'm doing well. I'm tired. Are you tired still from setting up the new living room, which looks amazing? No, thank you. I'm glad. Thank you for saying that. We've been reorganizing and putting stuff away. It feels like a different place, which I'm really enjoying. I'm tired because I keep

waking up early. I'm waking up early and running again. Yeah. And also just work stress. So it all sort of,

look, podcasters, they're just like you listeners. We have stresses too. We have jobs and stresses

and it all adds up. But, you know, we push through and we get to talk about meaningless stuff for you to listen to and enjoy. Whoa. Did you just say meaningless stuff? Yeah. I throw all of us off. I'm so good at deciding things that it's all like I can just, it rolls right out. Like I know and you just give me a thing and I know right away. I could answer it right away, but, you know, we're doing a show here. See, this weighs on me. So my job here is you would be running. This is you running at 5 o'clock in the morning, this show. I'm the safe that you're dragging behind your car. Like in that Fast and the Furious movie, we talked about that one time.

That's what I'm, I'm slowing you down. But it's for an action sequence. Yeah. If they just

got everywhere they were going right away, nobody would have made more than one. And you know what?

They made a bunch of them. And I believe it was, was that one the, yes, because there was a moment in

that movie where

there are a bunch of cars, there are five cars racing up behind Vin Diesel and he turns around

and he looks at him and he goes, well, that's a fast five.

That's right.
