Hey guys, welcome to episode 164 with the amazing James Rode. I am recording this intro on the fly on the

you're the worst set and I just wanted to get some shoutouts out there guys and I'm going to get this over to Nerst, so I apologize for the potentially poor quality and the ambient noise, but that's what's going on.

So for your emails, I want to thank Ken and Jordan, I want to thank Ken and Jordan and want to thank Patrick and wish

him luck with his new podcast and want to give a shout out to Ophelia who is in Flagstaff

always love getting something from someone in Arizona.

My first flagstaffed listener that's written in, very exciting.

Amanda, thanks for your great email.

Alec, thanks for yours about the Barrett-Kheim episode, Molly.

Great guest suggestion.

Nick, thank you so much for your email

for your mash question, your movie recommendations.

Ken, thanks for your email about Barrett.

I'm glad you guys seemed to enjoy that episode.

That was so much fun for us.

And then after we recorded it, we were like,

will anyone else enjoy this? And then I just want to finish by giving a shout out to

Jacqueline and Emily who I met in Vancouver. So great to meet you guys and listen I hope you enjoyed

this episode I certainly did talk to you later. Now entering

Nurdist.com. Oh, really where I start to pass judgment on someone is the method in which they hold the mic.

You know, I don't, if you need to do a Quenterantino style where there's a sort of

sideways, your arm's gonna get tired, I wanna warn you about that straight away.

I feel like I'm gonna play pretty down the middle with my mic holding style.
