Oh, Ladies and gentlemen, uh, can I please have your attention.

Can you, Jiggas? Greetings your listeners, this is Jonah Goldberg, hosted their remnant podcast brought to you

by the Dispatch and Dispatch media.

I'm back from Utah, I should say we're back from Utah, the lovely and fair Jessica, came

with me and I will just say thanks to everybody who's a little concerned about my dyspepsia last week.

liberating about not having a rooting interest in a team and then there are other things that just make it harder right it's just
