The following podcast is a deer media production.

Hi guys, welcome back to the show. Today's episode might just be,

I'm not kidding when I say this in my top like three or five episodes of all time and I've

been doing the show for four years at this point. It is exactly what I have needed for

let's get into the episode. Hi guys. Hi. We're so happy to be here. We're really having the best

we're now pushing record. If I were to join a cult, it would be a twilight cult. Yeah. I'm in.
