1:18.4

Dana yeah we're planning to record when we always record the week before it's due

1:24.1

so when you guys want to address a little we usually do the week of We usually do the week of. We usually do the week of. Like, we'll do like the Monday or Tuesday of. You know, we're so ahead of the game. Hopefully that means the episode will be so on time and so ready for consumption. X, how are you doing, though? You guys, I'm doing really well. Summer is in full swing, and I'm at the point of my, like, summer where you don't know if she has dewy skin or if she is profusely sweating.

So that's, like, where I'm at.

1:55.9

And I just feel like that's germane to your story. I'm not going in because we do have like work from anywhere August. and then September it's kind of a wash. I'm like, you guys just call me when you need me. Sounds good. Jacks, how are you? I'm good. Been so busy this summer. I am grateful to the Redheads once again for making me pick up my Kindle.
