Welcome to the WW News Today podcast.

And my name's Eric Morton.

With me is...

My name is Eric Morton. No, wait. My name is Nicola Cicero. And this is Gertie.

Yeah, Gertie. You may notice we're still in the nondescript back alley. We have not yet finished

building the podcast permanent home. They made some progress and then there's some soundproofing

issues, I guess. Although you may

notice, I feel like I'm hanging around Gertie too much. I'm starting to look like Gertie now.

Look at you, Nick. Lend in with Gertie. I love it. Yeah. It looks good. How are you doing?

I haven't seen you in almost a week. I'm doing pretty great. Yeah. Things are going good. Things are going good. Life is good. Yeah. Happiness all around. Yeah. Just got back from Celebration Brewing down the street. Love the place. Oh, yeah. Celebration Brewing. That's how you get to, that's how you get me to show up for a podcast there. You're like, Nick, there's a brewery, literally minutes down the street, show up, do a podcast,

go to the brewery, you're good.

You didn't like get sloshed on the, before you came here to do?

That's up for you to decide.

I guess we'll figure it out.

I'm going to start asking increasingly more difficult questions.

Sounds like you're the one slurring your words.

I have mouth fatigue. I get mouth fatigue because I just hosted the news and I just somehow Tom goes away and I'm just expected to fill hours and hours on the air with noise.

Yeah.

Well, I don't know about the booze, but what I can tell you is I did eat their everything seasoned pretzels.

So I definitely have poppy seeds stuck in my teeth. Hopefully they

will show up in this like high-deaf video here. And my breath definitely smells like garlic.

So I got that going for me. Real quick, we are having an auction on August 4th. Did you know that? Yes, I did. We're having an auction right here in our studio on August 4th. Did you know that?
