The following podcast is a Dear Media production.

Welcome to the bad broadcast. I'm your host. I'm

live from the Dear Media Studios today. And I was actually just thinking about this because we had a meeting and then I went to lunch and then I was walking back and I was thinking about the first time I came to the Dear Media Studios. So I heard from them in like early 2021. And then I immediately booked a flight out here because I was like, this is such a big deal. I got to go meet the team. I got to go like see my new network. And I came out here and nobody was working in the office because it was COVID. And so everything was in boxes. I left the studio and I was like, that sucks. They like totally pranked me. They totally like fooled me. I really thought that I was going to be able to be

signed to your media. And that sucks that I can't do it anymore. And lo and behold, five years later,

here we are. So it's always nice to be here. I was just telling my producer Jackson that I,

every time I come out here, I'm reminded that my job is real because I usually work from, you know,

my spare bedroom all by myself. And it's just, it's very energizing and refreshing and fun.

And, you know, just it's a good reset every time I come out here. And it's also warm.

And it's cold at home. Anyway, boring. But we have a lot of things we need to

discuss today. I have my list. You guys know I keep a list in my phone of things that I really need to rant about. So we're going to go down the list and then we're going to get into some voicemails about things that you guys love and hate about the holidays. I'm going to give you a warning. this is not a positive episode next week, which is the week of Christmas.

It's going to be really like heartwarming.

We're going to give you a warning. This is not a positive episode next week, which is the week of

Christmas. It's going to be really heartwarming. We're going to talk about the kindness of strangers. I'm just giving you a pre-warning now that like if you need something uplifting, this is not going to be the episode for you. This one, I have a lot of things that have been really bugging me lately. and also some opinions that I shared a couple weeks ago

that I have changed my mind on. And then a lot of the voicemails are full of a lot of hatred and vitriol for things about the holidays. So if you need something to cheer you up, I'll see you next week. But first, I want to talk about Wicked. I saw Wicked a couple weeks ago. I think I, well, let me see. When is this episode coming out?

This is my, I think this is the 15th. So I saw it like the day after Thanksgiving. And I put on my story, my official ranking, which is a four out of 10. I feel sad by that. I feel like I got really Game of Thrones by Wicked. And if you were not a Game of Thrones fan, just know that we had the highest of highs and

the lowest of lows as Game of Thrones fans. We started off, you know, really strong. And it was my

whole life. Game of Thrones was like actually my really who I was for like three years. And then,

as we all know, it had the worst ending in the history of TV shows. And nobody

even talks about Game of Thrones anymore except me because I obviously can't let it go. And I felt

that way with Wicked. I feel so upset by how much I disliked the second half of Wicked

after how incredible the first half was. I will say, I feel very justified because I called
