| 0:00.0 | Hey midnight. You're listening. It's me, Daniel Van Kirk. I am recording this on Tuesday. Tuesday. September 30th. I think I told you all last week that I was going to be |
| 0:23.8 | out of town and traveling back on Monday, so I wasn't sure if I'd be able to get the podcast out to you |
| 0:29.0 | last night, so I'm doing it tonight. Hope that is okay with all of you, doing my best over here. |
| 0:39.0 | Let me tell you where I'm going to be. |
| 0:40.3 | Other places I'm going to be doing my best in person. |
| 0:42.9 | That is in St. Louis at the Flyover Comedy Festival. |
| 0:46.2 | November 13th, 14th, 15th, and 16th. |

| 1:57.3 | and we get a letter about like dishes, your go-to dishes for making food for other people. |
| 2:06.0 | Our pen pal Darrell sent that in. And he teaches me about Japanese milk bread, which I'd never |
