Hey Wonderfals, welcome to episode 431 of the JV Club with my wonderful, wonderful boy of summer, Mike Geier.

Let's see, how do I tell you about Mike? I I mean we definitely talk about it in the episode

But I'm gonna stay a little mysterious and just say if you've ever heard of Puddles the Clown and the spectacular amazing and very unique live show Puddles

Puddles Pity Party or if you have looked at any of those just absolutely wonderful videos online,

you may understand that Mike is a sort of consigliere of puddles, a bit of a

spokesperson, bit of a wrangler, wink wink wink. I hope you enjoy this. I just adore this man and I need more of him in my life and you need more of him in your life and that's why you're going to listen to this episode.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful and safe summer and I will talk to you next week. Look at us! Oh, ain't no thing? That felt like a real ain't no thing gesture. I'm glad that you

loosened up, you feel like now we're fine. Let's start that again.

I just I just hit recording okay go we're good I had a clicking going

on. Oh oh like you gave yourself a metronome?

Yeah, when Garage Van opens up, it does that automatically.

I always just, all I keep doing is like opening an old file and then saving it as something new and

erasing so I don't have to start from scratch.

Otherwise I'm sure I would have that metronome baked in.

Possibly without realizing it, although I guess a metronome is a pretty obvious thing

to have beating in your ears. It assumes that I don't have good time.

I'm trying to think if I've ever felt like I benefited from a metronome.

I'm sure there was a time in my checkered musical past when that would have been helpful but I think that even like as a kid taking piano

there was something insistent and like slightly crazy making about a metronome.

So I can't say I've missed it.

I don't like to be told what to do.

You know what I mean?
