today, and now back to the show. Hello, and welcome to Lines Led by Donkey's Podcast. I'm Joe,

and with me, again, trapped in the content minds is Nate for another series. How you doing, buddy?

I'm doing very well. I really wish we would actually have real spring in the United Kingdom,

but if you're in the UK right now, it's March 9th when we're recording this. You know it sucks,

and I just don't like riding my bike and sleep. Working from home today, hopefully it doesn't

sound too bad. Passing up the opportunity to record in the Nice Trash Shooter Studio because I

fucking hate being cold. Yeah, I mean, it's not cold here anymore. The worst of our winter is

definitely over, but now it's like shitty and raining out. Spring is still too far away to truly

enjoy it, but I will take being able to walk outside without the air hurting my face. You know,

it's all about the little victories. And also, I think let's be real here. I need to keep it

in perspective. It doesn't really get that cold here compared to the Caucasus. It's just that

it feels cold because houses are drafty and you know, things along those lines like it's just,

yeah, you feel it more here, but I'm being a baby. It's really like hovering around freezing

right now, which is no fun, but that's a lot different than like, you know, 20 below.
