2004 I am joined today by my dear friend Today is March 15th, 2024.

I am joined today by my dear friend, co-host of the found podcast,

Venture Dust reporter, General Bon Vivant, it's Becca Scutac.

Hey, Beck, how you doing?

I am doing well, loving this beautiful spring weather that we're having here. How about you?

Dude, we took the kid for a bike ride, I'm wearing shorts. I know people are like, don't talk about the weather, but after a holaciously long winter, in my view, I'm so glad that things are blooming, the sun is out, I feel like a new person, frankly.

No, I agree. I'm like a plant. If I'm outside for like 15 minutes, my like leaves look healthy, I feel invigorated, like this is what fuels me this time of year.

I hate to admit it, but that's so dead on. like every time we get to the depths of winter I just

slowly turn into a couch monster and wrap myself in more and more blankets and don't move.

But we do have someone to thank for today's excellent weather which Mary Ann, because it's her birthday week,

and so this must be a gift from her to us

so we can have a lovely show.

She is, of course, off this week,

but back next week.

But before we get into the show, rundown,

and talk about everything else, we do have a request for everyone listening
