What's up you guys? Welcome back to Unfiltered with me, Lindsay Hughes. I am very excited to report that I am back in my normal setup. So hopefully the sound should be a little bit

better than the past two weeks when I was recording on on the road. I feel like it already sounds

better. So thanks for bearing with me while I was traveling. And today I am very, very excited

to have you guys here. I couldn't really think of what I wanted to talk about today. So I was kind of sitting down. I was brainstorming and I had all these ideas.

you know, just like a little bit more serious and negative. So I kind of wanted to do a more

upbeat, positive episode. I was feeling like it was, it was the vibe. Because I want the podcast,

you know, primarily to be something

that you guys come on for like an escape, you know, just like 45 minutes or an hour to just
