Well, ladies and gentlemen, can I please have your attention?

This is Jonah Goldberg, host of the Remnant Podcast, brought to you by the Dispatch and Dispatch Media.

So I'm traveling next week and we're putting a bunch of shows in a can and problem is with all the news breaking and all that kind of stuff.

We really had to scrape the bottom of the barrel and calling people who just you just know they're not going to say no if they get an invitation to come on the remnant.

And so I apologize we couldn't find a better guest, but it is what it is.

So today we have the CEO of the Dispatch and co-founder Steve Hayes. Steve, welcome to the Dispatch.

You know, I think you've given that same introduction each of the past four years.

It's entirely possible because it's never stopped being funny or true.

That's good. I would say it's a pleasure to be here, but it's not.

Yeah. So I should actually get in and also in seriousness, I was going to say but in seriousness.

But other than seriousness, we've been doing this. It was never completely like a plan.

It just we sort of it sort of became a tradition to do an annual state of the Dispatch podcast.

So for those of you who are looking for deep moving punditry, this is not probably going to be the podcast for you though we'll get into something.

They wouldn't be listening to the remnant if they were fair, fair shot, fair shot.

And then we'll probably get into some stuff about the media and whatnot.

We were going to actually do this last week, but which was the four year anniversary of the remnant.

I'm sorry, but which was the four year anniversary of the Dispatch.

The remnant is fact older than the Dispatch.

But the attacks in Israel and all that pushed everything aside and just didn't seem right to be talking about ourselves.

It still feels a little creepy, but it is what it is.

And so Steve, how's the Dispatch doing? Dispatch is doing great.

All right. Thanks for being here.
