Hey and welcome to the half. Happy Rant.

Hey and welcome to the Happy Rant Podcast.

I am your Erzot's host, Barnabas Piper.

Ted Cluck is absent today today and so Ronnie and I are taking this one ourselves.

Hopefully we can hopefully we can make our way through this without our professional

host. I feel a little bit inadequate when I compare myself to to Ted in the hosting

seat it's a little too big for me you should because it's almost like when one of us

has to do a promo we feel inadequate because you you own the promos. But what does Arizona mean again?

I think it's like a it's like a sorry substitute with with crappy ingredients.

How do you spell that? I can't even visualize the word so I'm assuming there's lots of T's and Z's. I think it's E R S A T Z maybe. Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. it's one of those words that I have I've read it and I've heard

it in audio books. So we don't even know if it's the right like how you said it we have no

clue if that was what's German so I'm

sure I'm supposed to like hakalougalougalougalougalougalougalougalougalougalougalougal I'm saying it too but I don't know I mean how do you know that was even the

right like definition of it in the way that you used it I looked it up one time because I heard it. Yeah it was and it was people the reason I assume that's the

definition I didn't I didn't look it up but in context it was people making coffee or tea out of like acorns and pine needles and they called

it like Erzots coffee and I'm like oh man so it's like a crappy substitute using the wrong

ingredients which sounds a lot like me hosting this podcast and And it kind of sounds like what I just liked, I just liked what you said though about the the

pine cones and the acorns and stuff.

You're like that sounds Christmasy.

That sounds very fall.

I mean it's September 2nd, which is like is the kickoff for fall for me so I'm all I'm all about it I'm all up in that right now. So yeah.

Oh but to save you from having to do a promo I'll all bear that burden today as well because we do have a sponsor for this episode.
