Hey guys welcome to episode 44 of the JV club. I first of all I'm proud to say I remember

that it is episode 44 I think last time I said that we were at episode 42 when we in fact had already

done episode 42. I'm getting up into the 40s and I'm starting to lose my

memory guys but that's a good sign because it means that we have so many

episodes under our belt that I can't even keep track of them anymore. I say when so many of my friends

have podcasts who have hundreds and hundreds of episodes in the can. I want to

preface this episode with Kristen Rutherford by saying that once again some emotional stuff comes up midway through the podcast.

I won't give it away. I'm saying it like it's a delicious treat instead

it's like super emotional and sad but I did want to give you a heads up that

that was that was coming for those of you who get in touch with me and say that I've made you

cry on the bus and on the train and in public places. I want to apologize and I

don't want to say I'm so moved that you are moved by some of the stuff that comes up on the podcast.

And all I can say to that is hopefully when people see you being moved they realize that you're sensitive wonderful people as I know you

to be and that we're all entitled to have our emotions wherever they may come be

hit on a train a plane with green eggs and ham sam I am. I have some shout-outs, but I am definitely

behind in shout-outs. I'm a little bit crunched because it is time for

Sketchfest. That is right around the corner. I'm actually not going to be on Huffpost Live for the next couple of weeks as I prepare for the festival and I can't tell you how excited I am about all the different shows we've got coming up.

Please visit the website SF Sketchfest.com. That's SF like San Francisco Sketchfest.com.
