What's going on, cultists? Unfortunately, today you only have me, Eric Helms, with you. I do not have

Omar, as he is actually traveling to Austin as I record this, and I will actually be following in his

footsteps, air steps. I'm also flying out to Texas in just no watch on my hand. I put that somewhere, but approximately five

hours or so I'm going to the airport and I'll be flying out this evening here in New Zealand all

the way to Texas. So I'll have a couple of legs, direct flight to Houston. It's a long one.

And then from there, quick hop over to Austin, Texas, where I'm meeting up with Omar.

So this won't be a true podcast. So not only are we only getting 50% of those who remain at the top of the

pyramid, but it is also going to be a diminished version of ourselves in not just having half of the hosts, but also, or the

primary top of the pyramid hosts. Of course, we have other hosts now with the mass cast and

Connor Heffernan. Basically, everybody's a host. What I'm saying is, it's only me, not Omar,

nobody else. There's that, but this is also going to be quite short because I just want to let

you know why I'm going, what we're doing, and to tease some cool things that are coming in the

future. So as we explained early on in our 2023 podcasts, we're not going to always be here every

single week, despite specifically promising multiple times

for really no reason that we would always be here every single week literally till the end of time.

By literally, I mean, we just said that, and it is absolutely not literal because we are not immortal.

Well, maybe we are. We don't know yet.

We'll find out if we live forever

and you hear from us every week. But right now, we're already reneging on that commitment to see you

every week, immortal or not. So unfortunately, this is going to be one of those weeks where you're

getting a babbling era calms just talking to you. So what's going on? Why are we going to Texas?

Well,
