Well, hey, everybody.

This is Adam, host of all podcasts.

Don't worry, this is not an ad.

Just a heads up that in what has become holiday tradition for me, last week, there was

supposed to be a whole bunch more episodes than there were, and I got sick again.

Really sick. To the point that I think I'm turning my computer on for the first time since last Wednesday, maybe. I've, uh, just kind of been in

bed and, uh, struggling. It's great. It's great. Probably headed to the hospital today. Uh, so big, big treat.

This episode you're about to listen to is barely edited. I took all the quiet parts out and tried to remove

the ums and us as much as i could but you also got

andy sell and rivers langley in the booth so buckle up for a lot of stuff you would normally hear

in the outtakes but on the bright side it is riddled with technical issues hey, it's about things to look forward to in

26. You know there's going to be so many, right? So there might be minimal editing on episodes

this week, but we will be back to posting episodes. I swear. And yeah, that's it.

Thanks.

Enjoy the episode.
