Hello, everyone. Welcome back to Fire Escape episode 35. What's Gucci, all of you baby infants out there? How are you doing?

Dan.

Dan, you don't always have to go with your first take on stuff. It's, you know, you can take a couple of stabs out of it. I say that all the time and you make me roll with the first take regardless of what I say. One take. No, we need to get this button down. Look, we're doing this in the sober light of day today for the first time ever.

We need to be buttoned up, folks.

All right.

Souter than booted. Suited and booted. Mike has a light

hitting the edge of his hair because we are doing this during the day. When we always do this in the

evening, like in the dead of night. It's the first time we've done it before 8.30 p.m. Eastern. And it is actually also coming in a hot, hotter than ever before because we're recording this like a day before. Yeah. It's Sunday afternoon. Say the most recent thing you know. I got engaged. Whoa! Good Lord. Well, nobody's going to be able to top that. Congrats. Yeah, like, way to one-up all of us. Now we're not going to say anything. Great host, great podcast hosts. I took a nap today. That's like a, that's the boss fight at the beginning of the video game. Yeah, it was, I, I, Mikey Fianzay over here. That's my new nickname talking about.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. I can't believe it.

Congratulations.

I can't either.

No, I can believe it.

It was fun.

Oh, my God.

I made it so logistically hard on myself, the proposal. I won't worry with the whole story,

but there were a bunch of setbacks on the ring side

because I decided to err on the side of tradition

and get the ring from the same place

that all of my friends and their dads and one of my brothers did up in Syracuse.

You don't know your New York State geography.

It's about a four-hour drive or a six-hour train ride.

So the plan was to fake a work trip to go pick up the ring.
