What's up, Pear Shorthens and Retrogrades?

It's been a while since you've heard for me.

I thought I was talking at you 60 seconds ago.

Was I not talking at them?

60 seconds ago.

I guess our audio was.

Shut off.

I guess we haven't been doing this for a while, and we've lost the knack for it.

I was RVing around the whole country, almost the whole country, with the fam.

And of course, you might have noticed that we were gone for about a week or a week and a half.

We were gone for longer than that because sneaky, sneaky, we pre-recorded a bunch of those, Our Lady shows, Akita, Fatima, Lords, Guadalupe,

I recorded live here. So that bit into the amount of time that I would be gone. And I'm

really genuinely happy to be back doing rules for retrograde shows for you. There's some exciting

guests that are going to join me later in May. Matt Frad's one of them. And there are some

others that I'll announce later this week that should be really, really top notch. Also, I am going to be kicking off the promised

side podcast with Grover from Twitter, Catholic Twitter, if you know them. We're going to be doing

a kind of in the world, but not of the world Catholic podcast that'll be not so Catholic. It'll be informed by our Catholic worldview.

We're going to be talking about anything besides Catholicism.

It'll be two very Catholic dudes talking about the world in a more conversational format,

less formal than guests when I bring them on, and never about Catholicism specifically. So it'll be a more

lighthearted approach to the world from a Catholic approach informed by Catholicism. But whatever,

two dudes.
