Hello and welcome to episode 121 of the Thinking Elseat Podcast, this is Ben Olsen in Washington, D.C. with Nathan Fox in LA, just finishing a game of golf?

That's right, yeah, I had the 743 tea time this morning. I wore shorts and short sleeves all day. Okay that's cool. Yeah, it's very cold here

colder than usual. It's like 19 or something degrees so that means not that means global warming does

not exist that is right yeah that is what I have concluded as of this morning so

I rest in peace. Yeah or it only exists on the West Coast apparently.

Yeah. So wait did you say your tea time was 743?

743 that's right. Why why the weird time? Oh because they do T times at like

seven minutes or nine minutes or some weird interval like that I think there's

seven minutes out there. Okay. All right. And if you're like a few minutes

late, they don't care. It sounds really strict if it's exactly seven minutes. Oh no, you would be disqualified from the,

I was playing in a little dorky men's club tournament today.

Oh, is a tournament?

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

And no, you would get disqualified if you were late for your tea time.

Did you win?

Fuck, no, I played like shit. So getting disqualified wouldn't have mattered at all, but I had fun, good, good bunch of guys really enjoy the group so yeah it was fun

okay yeah well we have a lot to go over in this episode and I should tell everyone that this is our third

time recording this episode thanks to me.

Yeah, a little peak behind the curtain. Yeah, I mean, seriously, that's never happened before and that's really messed up and if for some reason this episode does not work, I'm going to

Take up drinking maybe or something.

So what happened was the first time we recorded this episode I forgot to hit record which is insanely stupid.

The second time we recorded this episode a week later,
