0:00.0	What's up everybody? Welcome to the Smokentire podcast. Matt Farrow here. And today's episode is, as always,
0:05.5	brought to you by Off the Record. We love Off the Record. And I love Off the Record because I'm
0:11.0	recording these ads from a road trip where I had the confidence to know off the record was in my
0:16.3	pocket waiting for me the entire time if I got pulled over. There was the heat all over the place on this
0:22.8	trip. And if you get pulled over, if you get ticketed, you need to go to off the record.com
0:27.8	slash TST and get that handled immediately. Off the record will connect you with a qualified attorney
0:33.8	in the jurisdiction where you got pulled over and they will fight that ticket on your
0:38.3	behalf all the way to the end. You get 10% off all legal services with off the record by using

1:54.7	September, September is a good month. It's, uh, it's when like the tourists go home, but it's still like properly good summer weather for a long time here.
2:06.0	And the children are in school again.
2:07.6	Right. That too.
