Hi everybody. Welcome back to the show. If your name is John Thrasher. Who's that?

Oh. Oh. Where's magic? I need somebody that loves me.

Magic.

Wait, if you were like, if you're welcome to the show.

If your name is John Thrasher, then what?

Well, listen.

Like what happens if your name is Darren Carp?

What happens your name is Sally Smith?

What happens?

All are welcome on the show, but especially those of us who've been sick with a cold for the last week or so.

My Widdle Widdle Baby.

I even said that in the recording last week.

I was like, my Wittle Baby, he's sick right now.

My Widdle Wittle Johnny Boy.

Darren posted on Instagram stories and she said, my Wittle, what was it like, my whittle baby's sick or something. Yeah. It was like my widow baby is sick right now. But to be fair, John left me a voice note. I don't even think they said anything to do with literally anything about recording. And you were just like, it wasn't even like black lung. You were like, hey, Darren, I don't think I'm going to be able to record tomorrow i was like okay ethel from like the bronx like what the fuck are you doing i know if you can't

tell i'm really sick i was like no you can take it yeah i got ears yeah well yeah i mean thank you

and by the way thank you guys for being patient we had to yes we took a week off because I had a badass cold. It was not COVID. Thankfully, I kind of thought it was. It was kind of that type of vibe. I had the headache. I had a little bit of a fever. But it turned out just to be a cold, thankfully. I'm really happy to say. but yeah that morning so we we record on a wednesdays

i think most of you guys know that on tuesday night i was like by the way i texted darren i was like i don't

know how tomorrow's going to go i'm kind of feeling weird and then i woke up wednesday and i sounded

like you know when like an old car like backfires it's exhaust that was what my voice sounded like. He was Ethel Merman is what he was. And I was just like, yeah, we can't possibly record. No. And I was feeling horrible. Like Wednesday and Thursday last week were really tough. But I am back in action. I'm not 100%. I can still feel it a little in my sinuses. I can hear a little bit in my voice. But I will say we just

recorded an amazing episode with Tim and Lance from Crawl Space and Missing Podcasts. That'll come out

on Sunday, of course, as our full episode. And I'll say we did that, I think what? Was that an hour
