Hey, guys, it's the What If Podcast.

My name's Spencer.

Ryan's not here yet, but he's doing okay.

For those of you that don't follow us on social media, I don't think we've actually said it

here on the show yet, but Ryan's dad passed away a couple weeks ago, which is why he hasn't

been on the show recently. But he'll be back soon enough, and he's doing, you know, as well as you can do

in a time like that.

So he and I both and his family appreciate all the love you guys have been showing in the Facebook group and all over social media, leaving us voicemails, emails, all that.

Much appreciated.

We love all you guys.

And, yeah, he'll be back when he can be back.

So this week, I am up north, as we say, here in Minnesota, spending some time on the shores of Lake Superior.

And I don't want to talk about all the weird shit that has happened and continues to happen on Lake Superior over the last, like honestly hundreds of years.

Before that, even though it's just me today, I'm going to do my own joy.

My joy for the week is sort of twofold, but they're related.

One is running because it's still nice outside, but now it's fall, and so it's like cool

and running doesn't suck nearly as much as it does during the summer when it's 90 degrees

running and listening to today it was the uh this is myly cyrus excuse me this is myly cyrus

playlist on spotify which fucking bangs um and two related to that is making goals and holding myself to him the last two weeks in a row i have run

25 miles which is a lot for me and uh not a thing i was sure i'd be able to do but i've stuck to

it and i've done it two weeks in a row, so that's tight.

Okay, weird shit on Lake Superior.
