Hello, everyone. Welcome to 372 pages. We'll never get back. Connor, how are you?

Wonderful, Mike. It's had a snowy morning this day in Vermont. It's a...

Did you get some fresh powder? It was a POW day. Yeah, we shredded the gnar, shredded the Pau. We had a discussion in the car of weather

POW is encompasses, I think NAR encompasses Pau, but all gnar might not be Pau. Wait a minute. What is

gnar? I meant to look it up when I got home. I thought it was short for gnarly. Is it gnarly? I think so. So in snowboard term, when you go out there and shred the gnar, so maybe it is when the conditions are bad, but I don't think you like sort of celebrate when conditions are bad. I think shredding the gnar is you is sort of an all-encompassing state of mind, whereas Powell refers to these specific conditions that it was today where a foot of snow

had fallen on the mountain.

But you did not get pitted, so pitted at all?

I assume.

I did not.

I thought about that recently, though, because I did get a new, that's a video from like

12 years ago of a surfer doing the ultimate surfer talk, but I got a new, that's a video from like 12 years ago of a surfer, um, doing the ultimate surfer talk. But I got a new like base layer for Christmas. And when I put it on without any like thing underneath it, I was like, I'm going to pit this thing out. And I was like, it's going to be pitted. So pitted. So that was that was that one is a classic. Yeah, they revisited that guy. They went back and found him and he was like, yeah, like, I laid it on thick for the morning news. Like, what did you want to be to just like give him a boring interview? Was he sitting at his desk at the financial advisor's office with his suit on adjusting his tie very lightly? And what do you think I was going to do I mean well

we'll have to keep this short I have a I the next funeral is coming into my funeral home

adopt the stately air that I I am when I'm not on the beach so well anyway explain what

the show is and explaining also the bittersweet fact that I mean this is I won't say

this is not this is not final but in a sense it is so yeah so we we read books that we are not

expecting to like and we're it's bittersweet because this is the last time that we're going to

be discussing the William Shatner Ron Goulart joint novel Tech War.

We finished it today after, man, we spent two months reading this thing, I think.

And it all came to an end.

Not to say that it's all bad.

We got to meet some characters we'd been looking forward to for a long, long time.

And I think we both agreed.
