You curly-headed moron.

Hello and welcome to season 7

and a surprise episode 169 of Sword and Scale

a show that reveals that the worst monsters

are real

and Okay, so here's what happened.

There was a hurricane coming.

We didn't put out an episode last week.

There was a lot of other things going on in the background. We don't have to

bore you with. But instead of just skipping a week, we decided, hey, you know what, let's call

up my old friend, Charles Adams, and have a discussion about all the goings-ons of the world

because there's plenty of goings-ons. let's have just an old school old style talk

radio format let's do that how about that you want to do that well it doesn't matter if you want to do it or not, because we're doing it.

This is what we're doing.

Today, we're going to completely go off the rails and have a discussion about crime and law enforcement

and all the things we talked about back in 168 and then a few other things as well. You know, every now and then I look at our iTunes reviews and I'm like, we don't have enough one stars. So let's just screw it all up. That's why we're here. And you know what? This episode wasn't supposed to happen anyway. So if you don't like it, just skip it. It's fine. It's, it's, it's

it's fun. We're going to be fun. We're going to be back to our old format next week as planned.

But if you're one of those diehard fans that just cannot stop hearing sort and scale and the

lovely, lovely sounds of my beautiful voice.
