Mom showed up one day to say she's going to work, and then she didn't come back for two years.

Oh, my God, that's sad. Welcome aboard another brand spanking new episode of another below deck podcast. My name is Dill. I'm saddled up next to one, Pat.

Permission to come aboard. Permission granted. I'm feeling a lot better. I apologize the audience for all the coughing I did last week. But, you know, why am I apologizing? You should thank me. I showed up at my goddamn fucking job. And I was dying and I still showed up, man. Right, right, right. So you're welcome. And also marvel at my immune system.

Sure.

You're, I didn't kill you.

Right.

Despite vaping alamengo melon ice constantly and having me cough on you for a week.

But first we have to hit some public service announcement. Patreon, love is blind.

Magnificent show over there. If you want to add free episodes, go to Patreon as well. We got some ads tonight. So if you don't want to listen to them, don't. If you do want to listen to them, support them. You know, the holiday seasons are rolling around. Our ad guys going, hey, it's really rocky out there. You know, you guys should hit these. And we, you know, help us out with the sponsors, okay?

Five stars, kind words, if you haven't already.

I have some housekeeping.

Yeah.

Bravo.

I'm going to talk to an employee there, actually.

Jen, PR.

You know, Natalia was going to come on the show.

Yeah.

And we spoke on Thursday, and you said, I'll let you know Monday.

I'm not going to say the day we're recording now, but it's three days past Monday.
