So we have a interesting podcast today. It is going to be me and a very special guest in Brendan Bigley of the Into the Ather podcast for really interesting reasons.

We're gonna we're gonna pull back the curtain so to speak and let you in on

what happened. So as some of you might know, Griffin and Justin are on tour this week. They will be back next week. And that's fine. We were

going to have Brendan here and Chris Plant was going to join in about 30

seconds before we started recording this morning. Chris Plant, with a heaping glass of what I assume to be cold, cold ice water,

spilled it all over his mixing board and audio stuff.

So it turns out that audio and water don't mix and his whole thing is fried.

But that's okay because we have Brendan here.

Hello.

Hello.

I'm so glad to be filling in for three separate people. I'll try and do a bunch of

silly voices maybe. I think that'll cover it. I think that's great. I'm excited to have you here.

I also wanted to mention that I made a big parenting

mistake over the weekend that I thought I'd share as well.

And maybe you could give me insight on how to remedy this.

I took my son, who is not quite three yet on a merry-go-round, also known as a carousel,

yes. In I believe it was New Jersey and I only realized halfway through in looking at his face that I basically

recreated that scene in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory where Gene Wilder takes them all in that boat.

The boat right, yeah.

And I don't know how to walk this one back because caracels and like, they're kind of everywhere

and it's going to be like a thing.

Do you have any advice for how to pull this one back?
