Hi, my name is Nick Kroll, and I feel incredibly proud of being Colonel Bryan's friend.

Wow, that was really nice that you said that.

You know, a lot of people have sort of done kind of a joky thing.

Yeah, that was a joke.

Hey there, and welcome to Colonel Bryan Needs a Friend podcast, which usually I

go to great lengths to try and make these sort of evergreen timeless, meaning it doesn't

matter when you hear them.

We don't talk about current events often.

That's sort of the world I've tried to create in this podcast, but we're living obviously

in very, very strange times.

And so there is no escaping the reality we've all been thrown into during this pandemic.

So I am instead of being in a studio with my gang, we're all in our separate locations.

I've been shooting shows, television shows, and we've also set it up so I can do the

podcast from here as well.

So I'm joined by Sonna Mavcessin, who's coming to us from her home in a place called

Altadena, California.

Is that right, Sonna?

Yes, you always act like it's like this exotic place, but it's very far away.

It's very far away from you.

And it's not that far.

Very far away.

Different currency.
