All right. Welcome back to an absolutely massive episode of Friends from Work. And not just a welcome back to all of you out

there. A very special welcome back to my longtime friend, Robbie Earl. This is a podcast about all

things in the Marvel Cinematic Universe and it's hosted by me, Kyle Skonawell, and my long time

friend, Robbie Earl. Wow. Wow. It's nice to be back. Yes, it is. And I am kind of

floored by all of the very kind well wishes that I got over the last week on Patreon and Slack and

social media and all that. People are super kind.

We've said this a ton.

I feel like this week is illustrated for me even more that we have the best listeners in the world.

And I feel like every podcast says that because they have to say that.

But the interactions that we wind up having with folks, we just,

y'all are good, you're good people. So thank you all. I am doing generally well, trending positive,

have some doctor's appointments this week. And so we're going to see how all that goes. I'm still

generally very tired, but that just means that I've had more time to plow through a lot of phase

four. I told Kyle the other day, I feel like once a year the universe hands me some reason why I have

to just lay down and watch an insane amount of Marvel content. And, you know, this year was a blood clot.

So who knows what 2024 holds.

We'll take it. Anything to get you watching more. Exactly. Priorities. All right. Well, my major life

update was just as big of a deal. I am going to start off today's episode with a take.

Okay?

And listen, I am fully aware that I'm about to step on some serious toes.

And some people are going to hate me.

And this might be unforgivable.
