Hey, wonderful's welcome to episode 473 of the podcast with my boy of summer

Matt Walsh. Who doesn't love a Matt Walsh? I do. He's wonderful, he's been a long time buddy and of course you might know him from shows like Veepe or being a founder of the upright citizens brigade.

I know you're going to enjoy this episode. He's the best, and I hope everyone is having a good and safe summer. Oh, How are you? I'm good. I haven't seen you in so long. I haven't seen you in so long. It's true. I haven't seen you so long and now it feels like 80 years have passed because the last two have gone on forever.

Are you in the forest or is that a fake forest?

I'm in the middle of a forest. I find that the sound is best in a wide open space but with

trees, birds, occasionally a deer. You moved to Vermont during the pandemic, right?

Wait, so many, are you saying that because so many people moved to Vermont?

Because a lot of people I know moved to Vermont.

Really?

Specifically Vermont, yeah.

Oh, I didn't know Vermont.

I'm not even kidding.

I was just saying I'm picking a wooded area.

Yeah, no, I have like three or four friends who don't know each other

who all moved to Vermont during the pandemic.

Oh my God, I admire them.

As if somehow that's the last, somehow that's a state

that a bunch of people in California heard

was like the best place to go to be outside of the insanity.

I heard a lot of Austin and I just talked to a woman today who went to like Mexico and I'm like, oh my that's so good I wish I would have done that.

Did you guys escape anywhere at any part of it? We got to we were in Tulsa we went to Mammoth we went to Oregon so yeah and then I took my son to Chicago and

and then we actually did a wedding so we've been moving around a bit okay in the last two and a half years. How about you? Yeah. It took us a really long time to realize that we could do, I think, and maybe you can relate to this, but it doesn't sound like you can because you guys were actually making choices.
