Hello, everybody and welcome back to the Chulamani podcast episode, whatever number this episode is.

As always, I'm one of your host, Mike Martin, joined today by the one and only Alex Fasiani and then the superstar flown out to D.C.

For a special appearance at Magfest.

I thought you're going to be like, at the government. He was just thought out of Carbonite just now. He was in Los Angeles two minutes ago in his memory and he's just woken up out of Carbonite at Magfest. There he is. Bang. There he is. Yeah. Dude. What's up? Are you guys so high in the rain? This is your. This is still your baby. We don't know what's going on. We are here. Welcome to Part D,
