Greetings, ladies and gentlemen, this might be the most strangely location-based intro that we've

ever done. I am Brace. I'm producer Youngchomsky. And we are the True and Out podcast, but

we are recording not from our usual place in a studio or you know on our trips in a hotel room

we are uh in miami beach right across from i'm looking at the map right now alice and island

you see those houses right there yeah pretty crazy my grandparents uh came through alison island

they changed their names we We were watching shirtless,

ancient gentlemen

twist themselves around pipes and bars of the workout

centers in this little park.

I mean, to be honest, we're on the side of the road.

Yeah, we're on the side of the road.

We were going to record this on the beach,

a little bit of waves lapping in the distance.

But unfortunately, all the beaches are owned by hotels.

And the parts that aren't have no umbrellas even to rent.

Plus, they're very sandy.

That's, but you're, you're neurotic.

It's a beach.

I know, it's not that I'm surprised at the beach is sandy, but that just makes it difficult for recording.

These things are, these things, everything is deal with it.

You'll be able to hear the sand.

People will complain.
