What's up everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem. I am Dave Smith. Thank you guys very much for joining. I am rolling solo for this episode. I was supposed to have a guest on. They had to reschedule. Rob's off Galavanting in the world being Rob Bernstein.

So it's just me.

But I got some things that we could talk about today.

So hopefully we'll have a fun episode.

If you want to come catch me and Robbie the Fire Bernstein on the road, we will be out in about a week at hyenas in Fort Worth and Dallas.

Very much looking forward to those shows.

These were, that, it was one of the most fun weekends of last year was doing those clubs out there. So hope to see a lot of you guys out there in Dallas and Fort Worth. And then next up is Casper, Wyoming, Oklahoma City,

Tulsa, Detroit, Kansas City, Poughkeepsie,

Philadelphia, and Bozeman, Montana,

which I'm very much looking forward to go to Montana for the first time.
