Hey, wonderful's welcome to episode 578 of the JV club with my amazing guest, Meckleid, a phenomenal singer, songwriter, so talented, so awesome.

I loved our conversation. Really fun overlap with some French

exchange student stuff happening and I can't wait for you to dig into it. In the meantime

I also want to tell you about the Rhode Island

Comic-Con that I will be at the end of this month so Halloween weekend or the

weekend just following Halloween I will be in Rhode Island I cannot wait to go

back and what perfect timing since the

podcast I do with the wonderful John Hodgman E. Pluribus motto has since come out

and I'll be celebrating my triumphant return to Rhode Island now having had this episode come out into the world and I'm the huge fan a little roady

So can't wait to get back for those of you who have sent some lovely notes or participated in some way to E. Plurbus motto,

thank you again so much. It is so delightful and so joyful to be doing that podcast.

And I can't wait to keep rolling them out for everybody.

And as I said, you're in for a different kind of treat right now

with my conversation with Meckleye. Oh, Well, thank you for holding the mic for me. I feel honored and I'm not going to ask for a whole lot of wild

double-hand gesticulations. Only single-hand gesticulations. Only single-hand. Any gestures must be single handed.

Which brings me to, you know, I really wish that I was fluent in American Sign Language.

It is pretty amazing.

It's lovely and I feel like it's one of those languages that I have tried many times to cement because it all feels so I mean it all

please it's an enormously verbose language like any language but there was enough things like the over and it always is familiar but it doesn't stick the way I would like it to stick and I guess like anything you just need to be able to practice it all the time, right?

I once heard that, actually I don't know if this is true, so fact check this, but that

British sign language and American sign language are different?

I think that's probably true.
