Welcome to Muggle Cast Episode 272, Eric Micah, and I are here this week. Welcome back, guys.

It's great to be back, Andrew. The thing is, I just sent an email around a couple of days ago, and I said, you know, there's some news that has been worthy of talking about over the last couple of months, but honestly more than anything else, I just wanted to hear your voice.

Because, you know, let's face it, the most of the talking that we do do, which has been pretty infrequent over the last couple of months, we've both been busy, but it's been through texture or, you know, it's not verbal. It's not verbal.

Exactly. And so it's great to be back doing a show with you and Eric, and it's just it, it's so easy, or at least I hope it's going to be easy. You know, we just get back into the flow of things.

I think this is easy.

Muggle Cast has never been hard, except for chapter by chapter after that occasional episode that had gone missing.

People are still giving us crap for not finishing order of the Phoenix chapter by chapter.

Well, here's a confession. I never really enjoyed chapter by chapter because it always felt like homework to me, because we had to read certain chapters before recording.

And it just felt like I was in school, and so it was hard. I still did it, but it was, it was just quite the commitment.

I think we were in school, too, so we had other homework.

Yeah, exactly.

I didn't need more homework on top of Muggle Cast is my escape, not more schooling.

Anyway, while I have my volume up plenty loud, so I can appreciate every single decibel out of your guys's mouths.

And it's been a hundred days since I last recording.

This is actually, I did the math. That was what I was doing briefly before we began recording, and that's been actually 98 days since we last recorded a Muggle cast.

I think that's our longest hiatus.

Yeah, it might be. Yeah, I guess so.

Maybe to date or something, but that is how long we can go without chatting, apparently.

We find out my channel, my brother more frequently, but still this feels nice, and it's good.
