Once upon a time, there was the little podcast that could called True Weird Stuff that was made by a very small team of people as a side job, not even a job, as a passion project.

And they worked very hard on it, all hours of the day and all hours of the night, until one of them found himself in the hospital emergency department with back

pain so severe that they had to give them dilauded.

The other, crying herself to sleep over the death of a beloved pet of 17 years, which is why

this peculiar little podcast bumped its year and review episode up a few weeks because it's

real hard to work when you're crying

and dopey.

And they got a small beam of light

against the air.

Look, look. Well, Well, if you haven't figured it out, I'm the one who's crying.

And Max is the one.

Who's dopey?

Well, I'm not too dopey today.

Not too dopey today.

They did.

We both had a week and this, you know, we put this podcast together with chewing gum,

bailing wire and spit.

And we roll into Friday the day that it is actually released

with gravel flying and smoke in the air just to get it done and on fire. And on fire. And this week,

we both ran into things that are going to prevent us from doing that. So we are going to do a little

year in review because I had reached the point that I couldn't sleep.

My back pain was so bad.
