Hello, welcome to another episode of the Midnight Air with me, Daniel Van Kirk.

Hi, everybody.

First things first.

We'll get to some business.

I know I should do plugs because I always forget.

But I had a bit of a scheduling mix up.

I, Aaron, I, I'm in studio on this lovely Monday night.

I screwed up the order.

So there wasn't an episode last week.

That is 100% my fault.

And I didn't realize it until probably like Friday that I was like,

whoops.

Oh, wait.

Because I was gone for so long.

I was out of town and we'll talk about that in a second.

And then I just mixed up my Mondays.

So for anybody who wondered where did the midnight air go, nowhere, literally and figuratively.

So sorry about that, everybody. I think my constant podcasting since 2012

would tell you I don't tend to miss episodes, but apologies. Do you forgive me? Oh, yeah. I mean, I'm in suspense over the list. Oh, yes. Well, we're going to get to that, too. I will have, Melissa Stevens is going to join me to go over the back half of the list that we started with Andrew Youngblood when I was in Houston. See, even that, I was like on the road. And I was like, oh, I want to still get these episodes in. And I just messed up my Mondays.

Messed up my Mondays. Also, one of my favorite Calvin and Hobbs collections.

Did you, were you a Calvin and Hobbs person? No, I was a far side guy.

I both. I don't know if you had to choose, but I just, I never really wouldn't forget. One of my favorite descriptions about a person when I just think they have an odd build or look like a goofball.
