Hi, this is Josh Marshall and this is the Josh Marshall podcast with Josh Marshall and Kate Riga.

So we lied.

We lied to you.

You know, we said, we said last week that this was going to be a pre-recorded episode.

But in fact, I mean, it's pre-recorded because I'm not like talking the second year listening to this.

But we are back recording on our normal Wednesdays.

And, you know, I'd like to put a, you know, tell you a pretty story, put a pretty face on it.

But Kate Riga, I have to throw her into the bus. She's got the dates wrong.

I'd like a audience, you know, that I told Josh he could throw me under the bus because it is my fault for getting the dates mixed up.

I'm expecting him to say, Kate, you know what? You have been children such a burden of late.

This happens to the best of us.

And like, don't even worry about it.

But no, he, I mean, I have my invitation and toss that right under the nose.

I mean, you say you throw you under the bus. I'm going to throw you under the bus.

No invitation. No pause.

Well, your, your hour, our conflagration here is your gain because you get another live episode.

And we, we are, Kate is, is still going on vacation.
