Hey everybody, this is Armando Torres, and you're listening to the show before the show.

And I'm Paige Wesley.

And you might be noticing that this one is a little short, that's because as you can probably

undoubtedly hear from this intro alone, Paige is sick and has a limit on how much she can talk,

but it's still a great episode diving into a really fucking interesting story on the sideline

crap. I've been learning so much through this series that starts to like, you know, it makes

Yeah, and that'll make sense midway through this episode. So we just wanted to give a couple

announcements. First off, Panic Fest is coming up and we're so excited to see you. However,

that show is now sold out, wild, wild, crazy, wild that you have done this to us, wild and crazy

kids. And we can't wait to see you, wild and crazy kids at at the Screamlin' Armour for Panic Fest.

That's going to be so much fun. Thank you so much. I'm going to be at Moontower Comedy Festival

immediately after Paige is going to be at two fucking legendary comedy clubs of the Bay Area.

That's right, that's right. And then in Tokyo. So fucking go follow us on social media and I am

We can't wait to see you in Austin, Tokyo. We can't wait to see you in San Francisco. We can't

wait to see you period. Without any further ado, let's hop into the show. Hello. Hello.
