Alright this is really unusual. I'm in a booth completely by myself. No nobody on the phone with me, no guest.

Ben Kitchin' and my producers are not even in town right now. This is sort of a rogue podcast.

Enough about me.

I've been on for a while.

It's been not such a great few months for me,

as you guys know by now, if you listen to the show,

my dad passed three weeks ago today

three weeks ago right about now actually as I'm taping this so it you know the

the podcast is not well it's an excuse yes the podcast is suffered because of it we're going to be okay

we're fine now we're back on board I'm actually taping another one this afternoon

with cream Abdul-Jabbar at two o'clock and I have a special one ready to go for next week. I'm going to

to tape next week hopefully. So I think we're going to be on board. We have a

whole bunch lined up as well. So if you've been listening to the

podcast for a while, I appreciate it. I thank you. We're not going to we're not going to stop. We're going to keep going.

A little blip. Not going to be on these podcasts. Just fade away. We're going to go on. We're going to go on and on and on.

If you don't like them, that's great. If you like them, fantastic.

I enjoy doing it. You know, it's turned out to be a little more difficult. I thought it was going to be

squeezing in from a time perspective perspective but we're going to be

okay going forward as I sit in meters booth I look at the midday guys getting ready to

do their show I figured fuck it I didn't want to have a guest in this week I

didn't want to go back and forth so I thought I just do a mailbag.

The last time I did it was with mutt, it was kind of a disaster, not his fault, it just didn't really work.
