We're back? We're back. You hear it more and more? Is that true? It is, you know what,

it seems true enough to me and they say it and you hear a lot of people saying it, but they

don't want to, they don't want me to say it. Well, we've brought it back're asking we're going to bring it back we bring the dead cast back with me we'll see we'll see we did it we're here we did we discussed it strongly i would say that we discussed it very strongly and uh here we are it's the dead cast i'm drew That's Roth. I've been away for two months and I'm

going to give a very quick topline explanation of why I was away and then we can just get on

with our lives. But I was gone way back in December, the beginning of December, we had the

Desmond Awards, which was lovely and all the awards went into the toilet as well as they ought to.

And then we had a staff party at a bar afterward.

We had a private room, and at some point I walked out of the room and collapsed and

bashed my skull in, suffered a brain injury.

I was taken to the hospital, thanks to Megan and Jorge and Kieran and the rest of the staff for noticing that I was

not, I was dumber than I usually am when I was talking.

And they did surgery on me and I rehabbed in the hospital for a month.

Then I came home and rested and rehabilitated for another endless horrible boring money.

And now I'm back!

He's fucking back.

This is good news for everybody,

not just because everybody loves Drew and we're all very happy you're back,

but also because when Drew was on Slack and couldn't work,

it was,

and I don't want to take people too deep behind the game here. It is easily the spiciest that I've ever seen you. Like, because you couldn't do shit and you were fully prone. And so every day you would log on and just like look for somebody to kick around with a take. Well, every morning someone would come on with a take like, well, burgers aren't that good. Or, you know, just something awful. By the way, I was told while I was gone, there were some just abominable food takes dropped into this podcast that need to be answered for. Yeah, I was kind of hoping that this should just be you. Like, you know, it's good that you did the top line. Here's what happened to me. So on and so forth. There's, you know, Megan said pancakes for bullshit.

She criticized ham. Very casually criticized ham. Yeah, she hates ham. How do you hate ham? I don't, that I didn't understand it. And I wanted to call her to account for it, but, you know, she's the boss and it's a passionately held opinion. and I feel like as a non-gentile,

it's not to me to defend ham, whereas like this is, this is you, man. This is your culture that's under assault. Pancakes are, I think, probably the unhealthiest food in the world because you already have, you already have these, like, starch frisbys filled with, like, bananas and chocolate chips. and then you put whipped butter and syrup on top.
