| 0:35.5 | I think this is number 116. |
| 0:37.4 | This is the first time I know it numbered. |
| 0:39.1 | I don't know why. |
| 0:39.9 | And I think it's the first one we've ever done in the rain. |
| 0:42.4 | Yeah, this is, we are at, what's the official name of this? |
| 0:45.4 | This is the Nord East Big River Brewfest, sponsored by Eastside Neighborhood Services. |
| 0:51.1 | Yeah, which we were kind enough to get quasi invited to after John asked |
| 0:56.0 | them to invite us. But it's raining. We should say it's Saturday afternoon. It's a great setup |
| 1:02.2 | here. I like it. I mean, there was a line around the block to get in here. I mean, it looks like a great |
| 1:07.1 | turnout. Unfortunately, at the moment, it it's raining so just to set the scene |
| 1:11.5 | which is very important for a podcast um we are underneath a tent at a table basically across from a |
| 1:17.6 | bunch of uh beer tents and stuff so there's going to be i predict three things one we're being |
| 1:24.2 | rained on so i like that ambient noise of the rain i sometimes use that to get to sleep that's right so if you doze off during the podcast we're being rained on. So I like that ambiant noise of the rain. I sometimes use that to get to sleep. That's right. So if you doze after the podcast, we're not going to be insulted this time. And the second thing I predict is we have a lot of people. As if nobody's ever dozed off during our podcast before even when it was training. The other thing is we may have a lot of, we're sitting next to a kind of giveaway booth here, so we're going to have a lot of people coming up to us potentially shouting, mean things at John. And then what was the third thing is I'm going to freeze to death because I didn't really dress for the occasion because I thought this was going to be indoors. So John's got like a knit hat on and a jacket and gloves, and I'm sitting here in a sweatshirt and jeans. You can have the hat. I'm willing to love the head. I don't want your lice, John. So, yeah, that's where we're at. It's so warm and comfortable. Potentially could be fun. I'm a little hungover, so I don't know how much beer I'm going to be doing. |
| 2:34.0 | But yeah, we have a few twins topics. We're going to do mailbag, which I felt bad about last week. We skipped the mailbag. We had plenty of questions last week, but we had David Brown on. So we're going to do two weeks' worth of mailbags, though? I feel bad because I really, I love that people submit mailbag questions to us on Twitter, typically, although you can email them to us at Aaron gleaming at gmail.com, too. |
