Hi everybody.

It's another episode of NMR, your favorite, not murder-related podcast.

I'm John Thrasher, and this is Darren Karp.

I'm Darren Karp. That's right, reporting to 6 o'clock evening news. That's nice. By the way, what is on your sweatshirt? Oh, you miss it? You miss it so much. You got to wear it on your shirt. It's a New York City shirt for those listening at home. Oh, no, she's dancing.

You didn't even comment.

Like, it took me like a good minute to like really, like to comment on my dancing, which

looked like I want to, I would describe it this as like, like, thriller meets actual dead human

attempting to become alive again. Like me- That might be true. Right? Okay. Yeah. Okay. So we're getting somewhere. Really quickly. Did you just happen to hear magic? He might not be close enough to the microphone. No, I want to hear him. He's, I don't know what his deal is. Every time I walk in the door, it's time to eat, no matter what time of day it is, no matter how recently he's eaten.

I mean, he's just, that's accurate. That's, yep. Okay. Did you hear that? No, it didn't come through. He's just at my feet, like, meowing and I'm like, leave me alone. Could you imagine? By the way, speaking of being late, I want to just let everybody know that minutes before we hit,

I mean, listen, was I peeing and putting on my socks?

Listen, there's no late on the show because we both are just doing it for the love of the game. You know what I mean? That's true. Well, speaking of the love of the game. Oh, yes.

That was a good. on the show because we both are just doing it for the love of the game. You know what I mean?

For the love of that's true. Well, speaking of the love of the game. Oh, yes. That was a good segue, right? Thank you. There were actually a few things. A couple updates on my, John, I have been waiting on bated breath. I'm taking over the section. Yes. Waiting on bathed breath to find out about this course you back. So I just want everyone to know that it's going to be a lot.

Like, we're going to get to it. It's the grand finale. Normally, if John's like, oh, I got a story for you guys. Afterwards, I'll make him tell me. And then he'll retell it again. I have not asked a. No. Whipple? A pecorino. I haven't asked for a log line. I haven't asked for a
