Hey everybody, welcome to another episode of EMS 2020.

And yeah, my name is Chris at Spencer.

Spencer, how are you?

I'm good, man, a little tired, taught a class.

And, yeah, they let me do that occasionally.

It's, uh, I always feel like, like when you ever ask somebody, like when you're about

to do a thing, whether it's snowboarding or surfing or recording a podcast and you ask someone,

hey man, how are you when you're meeting up to do it? And they said, oh, a little tired.

That's the pre-excuse for sucking. So I'm not sure what's about to happen today because that was my excuse me when I went snowboarding, right? I'm like, I stood up a lot. I've got a badger

actually inside of me eating my internal organs. But no, I'm good. I'm good. Let's do this.

And in that way, like, if I knock it out of the park and then it's like, dude, he actually snowboarded pretty good with, I mean, I don't, he might have been live.

I don't think so.

He said he had a badger inside of him, eating his internal organs.

Like, I think he started with half a liver and ended with only like a quarter left.

And he did great.

Actually, the only thing that destroyed my liver was the bar you took me to after I got K-Oed on.

That's the only thing. I really wanted to make the job hard of figuring out like, well, is he drunk or is he concuss?

I didn't want it to be easy.
