0:00.0	What's good internet? I don't use it. What's good internet? It's June 7th. I was gonna say 6 but it's the 7th right?
0:28.4	Yeah, the day that it comes out. Although I guess technically it is currently as it's being recorded the day before. Yeah, but I feel like that's one of those wave-a-magic ones. We've always done that though. Now I'm wondering.
0:44.0	I'm thinking back. I think Rob always does the day that it comes out. Oh, and that's of course there's, you know, question of like, when is that? Who knows?
0:54.3	Now I'm wondering if that's subtle law. I think we can maybe settle it today.
1:03.9	Yeah, we're actually decided we're gonna say just to confuse ourselves in the audience. We're gonna say the date that we're recording it. Not the date it comes out. Just for fun, Z's. But yes, episode 487. It's in a waypoint radio. I am today your host, Patrick Kulbig. I'm joined by our producer, Ricardo Contreras.
1:23.8	I think it's actually not for fun, Z's. I think it's for truth, truthies. It's for being truthful. Truthies. I don't really like that. I'm not like you're trying to that word.

2:25.2	In the way that he does.

2:37.7	Is this guy soon?
2:39.3	You know, he's going to be.
2:45.7	Are people doing that even in LA? That's what he's walking.
2:50.1	You've heard of you heard of making up a guide in it. Now that I will make up a guide to make fun of.
