We are back. This is another episode of the Longer in Archives, and we have two things to talk about.

Jim Walmsley, Western States Power Rankings, and I am joined by the great Brett Horny to talk about it all.

Brett, how are you doing this fine evening?

Dude, we're burning that midnight oil because we have to.

Like, I'm squeezing that wick, getting every last drop of energy out of this candle right now

cup chalice here I and I'm loving I'm drinking what I had enough wine at dinner over at the

in-laws house and I have an open bottle of wine upstairs that I was tempted to pour a glass of, but it is so much worse than what I had at dinner that, like, I'd just rather have water.

Can I ask an honest question?

Can you tell the difference between good and bad wine?

Yes.

You can.

I confidently can.

And, well, it's not even so much good and bad wine.

It's you like what you like, and I just happen to like wine.

That's not particularly cheap. because I can't it's all

good to me yeah some crappy wine them just like just doesn't taste good well you live in

Utah what do you what do you like what do you expect like what's a wine we just take what we
