Hello and welcome to the line said by donkeys podcast. I'm Joe and with me is Nate. What's up, Nate? Hello?

How's it going? This is the first time you and I have recorded together in person despite having I think 2018 was the first year

I did any kind of guest appearance on your show. So this would be certainly it was not until you know like well

would have to have been 2018 or 2019 so it's been almost five years we've been podcasting we've never been on an episode in

person recording together. Yeah. And this is the first time the show has ever been recorded in an actual recording studio. So Joe is in London and I've brought him over to the studio we

use for trash future and other podcasts. You may recognize the sound of these microphones from the periodic recordings I've done for hell of away. Where you're like, oh, yep,

they must be in the studio. There's not like the sound of a fan or the sound of a British guy yelling about the bins in the background. And so yeah,

brought Joe in and we have a proper professional studio recording for once in our goddamn lives. Yeah, I feel kind of uncomfortable in the situation. I

forget over the years. It's been almost it's almost five years the show has been going on. And during that time, there's been we've been recording on like a desk in person with

Nick and I one time a recording my roof exploded and water started leaking on him from the air conditioning system. Thankfully, my computer where I was reading

from was on the other side of the table. And then for the years after that, my desk was a beer pong table. Yep. Remember hearing about the beer pong table. Yep, you guys

basically used to record brown out every single episode. And for like the first 50, I'd say, yeah, and then you you guys you went to establish

meant you got serious. You polished up the podcast and now look at you. You're in a studio in London. And that sounds so exotic and, you know,

professional until you're like, no, it's it's the studio where they write songs about honkball, who the class I know some sitting next to a drum set. It

was like, this must be where this is recorded. Yeah, it wasn't actually in here. It was two two studios ago. We kind of moved around. We

finally found like a long term location. And so now we can record drums without either getting kicked out of the co working space or

Milo's neighbors yelling at us. So this is good. The idea of you recording fake Dutch pop music in a co working space is

fucking incredible. Yeah, in the middle of 2020 when like everything was close. Yes, we we spent like 25 hours recording the song in like 20 minutes

doing the skit because like it was we had to teach ourselves audition or Ableton. And it just took so fucking long. But

you know what? It's all part of the history that's led to us being in this very nice quiet. If I do say so myself. Yeah.

I fucking hung all these panels with Milo space. And this is the first time recorded with anybody since Nick was disappeared by unknown people.

Yeah. RIP Nick, we miss you, buddy. Please come home safe. So I figured it would be a good time. Actually, I didn't figure this is
