Hello, everyone, welcome back to the Fire Escape cast. It is officially 2003 here on the best show on God's Green Earth.

Fire Escape cast.

I'm Mike.

That's Dan.

Hi, I can't hear a thing you're saying.

It seems like your internet's fucked up.

What's going on there?

Yeah, off the top, and that's Mary.

I'll introduce you first before I explain.

Hello.

I'm having some

bum-fuck email or internet problems. The, do you unplug it and plug it in? Quite a few times, yeah.

We do you do a speed check? Yep. It's one million kilobits. Is streaming any Netflix on another

monitor there? What are you doing? No. On the other side of the apartment, we're streaming, but that's about it.

And we always, we usually always are during the recording. But yeah, Big Storm hit most of the country. He loves it when you troubleshoot. Trouleshoot and stuff. He loves it when you try and solve this. Trouleshoot. God, my last job, constantly trying to record podcasts with wrestlers who have like five kids in the house all playing Roblox and streaming stuff on different devices and having to tell wrestlers to tell their kids to stop doing things. Like, oh boy, that's a fun troubleshooting time. Yeah. Big storm hit on the East Coast, Midwest, pretty much everywhere. And, uh, get a bad up here. Really?

No, you got it.

You're not too far for me.

It was very cold and windy as hell, like 45 mile per hour winds.

And, uh, the whole East Coast, like Eastern Seaboard was bad.

But, uh, we got an email from Verizon telling us that our internet might suck shit

for the next couple weeks.

So if I'm being unusually quiet tonight, that's why.
