It's Thursday.

That means this is Nerdish.

I'm your host,

David Ford, joined as usual by my good buddy Mo DeKiel and my, uh, are we good buddies, Seth? Yeah,

we're good buddies. You call me in for that trap. Don't fall for that trap. You call me and

complain about stuff. And my other good buddy, Seth, part now. I said it yes one time, Seth, and I haven't been able to really get away from it.

You can't escape.

You can't escape now.

Just that's the, that's the blank space shade he just threw at me.

My.

We're good buddies.

We're good buddies.

I think we're friends.

I don't know.

Mo and I have just this recorded track record of like multiple years of talking together.

And, you know, everyone, you came in and we're just immediately hating.

And so people might have just thought, oh, yeah, no, he doesn't mess with Dave.
