Welcome back to Talkville. Yes, we did it. We're here. There's Tom, and now Tom was left.

Ryan is here. This guys is the first episode of season seven of Smallville and our new producer of Talkville, Ryan Teyes. Give it up.

And we've only started with a handful of technical issues. But those weren't your issues. That was me, though, as always. It's always me. My internet's not working. I forgot about the kids. Dude. No, it's always something with me. It is. Thank you guys for the patience.

It's all right. It's all right. Overwhelming patience. Thank you. Yeah, I'm deep into it. I have almost, almost halfway through the season watching. Oh. So trying to get ahead of it. So when you guys say that you're finally available to record, I will be. Yes. Well, we're going to do two today. We're going to do two next week. We're going to be, we're going to get ahead of the game. And look, I'd like to embarrass Ryan for a second because this is the first episode we've recorded since we went on the Smallville Cruise. And every single person there, we were talking about the podcast. And I was like, well, you know, Ryan's taken over. Ryan's got the, got the reins. And they're like, I'm telling you, every single person was like, no matter how busy is, we need Ryan's favorite scene. Yeah. All right. They want Ryan's favorite scene. I want Ryan's. Was that ever a discrepancy? I don't know.

But now I'm having to go back through my notes and like, because I'm not like watching it from like a, I'm not watching it from Ryan, the, uh, the active participant. I'm watching it from Ryan. Right, right, right. Yeah, you got to do that. I'm like rewinding scenes and like I'm getting I mean I've enlisted the help of a few people

who are close to the podcast.

Oh yeah?
