A few days after Mitch died, I was walking through the yard and I saw our neighbor who was a very good friend of Mitch's Bob and he saw me coming through the gate.

And he said, I am so sorry for your loss and I knew that he needed to feel that loss too and to share it and I wanted to help him and he put his arms around me, cradle me and his brace tightened.

Finally, here was somebody who truly cared and then I felt something else, something huge.

Okay, okay, let's just say it. Let's just say it. A podcast. Wow. Good job.

Replace the word boner with podcasts. Yep. It's what this show has been building to for the last year and a half. A huge boner.

A huge boner. Well, everybody, my name is Griffin. Claude Barrister, DoFan. No, I'm David Sims. David L Sims. Yes, David Lawrence Sims.

Hey, now, hey, now, we're the two friends. Hashtag it if you want. We're two friends who host a podcast. And this podcast is called blank check with Griffin and David.

Do you smell that a colon? There's a colon at the end of our podcast. I don't like to smell colons personally.

Oh, and you must not have a lot to talk about with dogs. And let's just keep going. Get that joke. Yeah, I do. That was kind of the joke I was making. You just expanded on it. I plus it. Yeah.

I yes, I ended it. There's a reason they call me yes, Andrew. Don't do that. Let's let's let's start over the course. Okay, you want to start over?

Okay, a few days after midsh time, I was welcome to the yard. And I know. No, no, no, no. This is a podcast called we pot of cast. We're talking about the movies. The camera crow.

It's a mini series within a larger franchise. Whatever. And we're think of this as our American horror story hotel. Yeah, exactly. It's about as bad and disorienting. And it's mostly said in hotel. And lady Gaga isn't it? Yeah. And she's not in the podcast. She's in that show.

She's in her hearts and minds. It's been a couple weeks since you recorded. Yeah, Griffin's been tweeting up a sad storm on the Twitters. I mean, look, I don't want to brag, but I have cried myself to sleep almost every night since we last recorded.

I had a lovely vacation. We're both shaking the rust off. Congratulations. Yeah. And we decided to do that with a discussion of the film Elizabeth town. Yeah, so our last. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

So we we were banking up our episodes for a while, but there was also a bit of a a jungle called inside baseball. There's a bit of a jumble in the order. Okay.

They weren't they weren't recorded consecutively. So you'll hear him straight through, but this is this is our first time recording in like three weeks. Yeah, about.

And yeah, I'm sad in certain episodes. You've listened to it and not other ones because of the order they're releasing. But breaking news. Very much sad right now.

Sorry. Hey, what if anytime something really bad happened to someone like, you know, a relative died. I just went.

Sorry. That was my reaction. I mean, look, that would fit into the film Elizabeth town. A film about people having weird unrealistic reactions.

You grief. Yep. Yes. Elizabeth town. Elizabeth town. We're going to talk about Elizabeth town. It is Cameron Crowe's six movie.

Seventh if you count the gap ad. Oh, yeah. Right. So in our yes, I think for our chronology, it's a seventh movie. Yeah, keep setting it up. I'm just going to eat a bagel because I'm feeling nostalgic for the early days.

We talked for 45 minutes before we started this podcast. I'm trying to make this. And then the minute we start recording, he opens his fucking bagel in the middle of the studio.
