0:00.0	Hey folks, sorry for the long radio silence with the podcast, been sitting on this episode
0:05.4	actually for a while. I had it all posted and ready to go at the end of March, but when Taylor passed
0:11.3	away, it just didn't seem like the right time to put it outside. So I shelved it and been meaning
0:16.2	to get back to it ever since, but it just took a minute. So my apologies. I was thinking about
0:21.5	re-recording the intro because I had recorded it like the preamble to the interview when we were
0:27.2	in Bogota and obviously before everything went south. But I don't know, listening to it today,
0:35.2	I kind of put a smile on my face because it was like a happy time and things seemed like they're
0:39.5	on the up and up for the year. So I'm just going to leave it as is and you know, hope you dig it.
0:44.5	I don't know when I'm going to get back to doing fresh episodes, probably not for a while.
0:49.2	Things are kind of busy right now, but maybe at some point. Anyway, here you go, walk in the floor,

1:11.9	Oh, las and yours and senioritas. This is Chris Shiplet and you are listening to episode number

1:25.4	as it is this week because I'm sitting here in my hotel room in beautiful Bogota, Colombia,
1:31.5	down here with food fighters doing shows. We played Mexico City. We played Santiago Chile. We played
1:38.1	Buenos Aires, Argentina. We went to a San Cion Paraguay, we were supposed to play, but sadly,
1:45.2	that show got rained out by a gnarly thunder and lightning storm that swept the whole town
1:50.5	down the street and flooding and it was just nuts. We were sitting there at the hotel,
1:54.4	getting updates and I was getting texts from my guitar tech, Sean of just like crazy scenes going
2:01.5	on. So they evacuated the festival site and the whole thing got canned, which was a bummer because
2:06.0	we were there and we were ready to go and I hate the way that feels. I just hate anytime we cancel
2:10.2	the show. It's just the worst feeling. It feels like defeat. But yeah, you can't really, you can't
