Welcome to my buddy to Crystal Con with friends.

Today we're talking to Josh Ciderella of the Doom Scroll podcast.

Josh, how you doing, man?

I'm great. Good to see you guys again.

Good to see you too.

Yeah, good to see you too.

Now, you guys all got to go check out Doom Scroll because he does phenomenal
