Greetings, dear listeners. This is Jonah Goldberg, the host of the Remnant Podcast.

This week is a little weird for me. I'm going to be traveling first for work and then to go to Spain for a family vacation.

Long story short, months ago I went on a national review cruise. Everyone should sign up if they've never been on one.

Rob Long and I did a night owl session where we've done many times in the past, sometimes with John Pador, sort of like with the podcast Glob.

Before that we used to do it with Mark Stein and it's sort of a fun, light, bush-belty kind of thing at nighttime.

Some listeners may recall I recorded a podcast with Charlie Cook on that cruise. I also recorded my thing with Rob Long and then lost the recorder and the recording for months on end.

I had a big sense that the audience liked it and I had Jack listen to it and he said the audio quality meant the minimum standards that we have here, which is saying something.

He said it was amusing enough. As sort of a placeholder this is going to be a joint ricochet or globb and remnant podcast with Rob Long and I. Rob for those who don't know is a storied television producer from Hollywood. He was a young executive producer on Cheers.

He's the maximum Puba at ricochet.com which is a great place and this is just riffing with no set script or ideas about what to riff about as the thing proceeds, my drinking probably becomes more obvious.

But I don't actually remember that which is not a sign of the drinking, it's just a sign of how long it's been since we did this. Jack is there anything else that we need to mention with this?

I was in November of last year. Was it in November of last year? Okay.

But there's no, it's not dated because you don't talk about any political topic.

That was the point of it. Yeah. So without further ado, I bring you this special, strange episode of the remnant podcast.

Not episode 11 though. Not episode 11. That cannot be released.

Nope.

You know, in show business, we should have been introduced. Yeah, I was waiting for that.

A lot of NR people kind of milling around like, whoa, what was your supposed to introduce us actually? Yeah, louder.

Really? So I can hear you fine. Okay, I need these.

We were saying that if Jack were running a tighter ship, he would have introduced us or had somebody introduced us rather than having us do it ourselves.

It's considered the thing. I'm just saying. He could run up here now and try to make amends, but it's too late. It's a little too late.

I haven't been kidding her, but you don't know what might happen.

Yeah, I think Kevin seems very comfortable over there. He doesn't really need to be disturbed.
