What's up everybody? Welcome to episode three of pillows and beer. I'm here with my co-host Austin. Crow. What's up, Austin?

What's up, buddy? And what is up everybody? I wanted to jump on here and I think I created two to kind of give an appreciation shout out to all of you, right?

Yeah, let's start off right from the bat. We went to number 18 this week, which is incredible to even make the top 100 and we owe it all to you all.

I mean, honestly, all the feedback that we've gotten has been so, so fun. It's so fun to to hear what y'all think and and to hear you, you know, relating to things that we talk about, right?

We read most of the messages and a lot more of the reviews than you think and we actually do take them to heart. I know I have some things to work on and Austin has his things.

And one of the things is what I just almost did right there is that when we were so used to lives, right? And like in lives, which is chaos and Craig and I were just like yelling back and forth and this and that, you know, in the podcast is more of a controlled chaos.

So to like sit back and let Craig talk more and Craig, I will personally work on that and and all of you out there want you to know that as well.

And I'm going to have all the confidence in the world with you buddy and you're already doing 10 times better, but no, I mean, we're going to keep getting better and better. It's only episode three. We talked to our great friend, Stasi this week about, you know, any advice and pointers. She's been doing it for a couple of years now.

And I'm going to have a couple of other people. So with that, just to prove that we're not going anywhere. Our kegerator has arrived hasn't at all. I'm very impressed. I've kind of been making fun of Craig, not like you, I mean, making fun, but like, I was like, all right, Craig has all these aspirations and all these things.

I mean, I don't really see, but the kegerator showed up today and there is a keg of my beer here that we will eventually tap well in classic Craig fashion. I thought the kegerator would just show up being built and ready to tap like in college in Austin's beer would come out.

But it's a little bit more like an IKEA project. I mean, how many pieces are on this table also there's a lot of bills and whistles to this.

And I'd like to think that being the resident, you know, beer guy that it's just like kind of easy to figure it out, but it isn't.

There's a lot of stuff going to keep getting toys for our podcast room.

Apparently a lot of them have to do with alcohol and we want you guys at home to keep engaging with us. So we're going to post our email address on our Instagram.

And then we'll write after this episode is released and you can send us messages on there continue to DM us will continue to do DMs of the week.

And I'm that's kind of it awesome. I think we're just we're overwhelmed, but with the support. I know we really enjoy doing this.

I think yeah, yep, that's that's pretty much it. Just really, really happy that people appreciate what we're doing and you know, just kind of having fun with us.

So we're going to be able to do a lot of things with the community. So we're going to be able to interact with us as much as you possibly can and we will do our best to bring up all these topics.

Right, with that said, I guess we're moving on to the naughty and nice of the week Austin. We decided to do that now, like at the beginning of the episodes now we got to get the wine board and we've got our beers, which are still in cans since the draft beer won't be done until tomorrow.

I kind of have a special day coming up. There's a special event happening today. That's right. Guys, it is Craig Connovers, 33rd birthday. He does not look a day over 32.

How old are you, Austin? I'm 33. I'm June and you're February. That's right. So you're, you know, eight months, seven months younger than me.

Oh, yeah, I'm the baby, I guess. But you know, we got to figure out who's going to drink this hall wine out of the naughty and nice this week.
