Hey everybody. Welcome to the Muckraig podcast. I'm Nick Houselman and this is an announcement to let you know that we are going to be doing a new series called The Weekender over on Patreon that will appear every Friday.

And this is a little sneak preview so you can get a handle on what it's like and why you want to go over there and join the Patreon and be part of that community, which has been incredible and amazing.

A lot of people there and a lot of great conversations.

So here it is, check it out.

And feel free to check out the actual Patreon as well at patreon.com slash muckbrake podcast.

Hey, everybody.

It is Nick Halselman here with Jared Yates Sexton, who is definitely not feeling above the weather at this point, having gotten a second shot.

So I am going to do the opening for our Patreon episode.

It would do every week.

So welcome.

Thank you for being part of the show, part of this community.

And I don't know.

Jared, are you going to be able to be with us today?

You know, I was saying right before we started recording that this is, it's very much a Michael Jordan flu game type situation.

I want to be real with people so we can level their expectations.

You can confirm.

I'm literally right now recording this wrapped in a blanket because i have

severe chills and like i have felt i felt like straight garbage i got my second shot which i feel

so fortunate to have gotten i got it yesterday at nine a m and feeling, you know, I was feeling a little bit run down.

But then by about 7 o'clock last night, the bottom fell out, Nick.

And I was, and to be frank, the first one did this to me.

I'm really sensitive to medicine.
