All right, this is the first podcast and I don't know how long without a guest was I have

no it has to have been before covid 20 right like which it's like bc it's so like annoying that

that's how we like process shit anymore like all before covid after covid but yeah probably two

three years now since we've been because that's how we always used to do it for like the OG fans

yeah it was just us too yeah I mean we would have guests when they would be coming through Chicago

if we wanted to talk to somebody we would set it up but sometimes you don't and we would just

shoot the shit about a lot of different things but big news we announced that operty entertainment

group with the granola party quieter minority steak and whiskey riff super exciting but super super

time consuming but the culmination of so much work I think maybe some people know or don't

that we put in eight plus years I mean we're not exaggerating when we say

16 17 hours a day seven days a week 365 days a year eight plus years no vacations ever getting

married bot to go down the aisle and you're checking worse stuff like and people want to yeah it's

funny people want to live but that's kind of a separates the phonies and then the people that

actually put in the work and the people that don't quit they don't do one podcast episode and

just say I'm done you know we kind of stick with it you stick with it you build an audience to

that point anybody who's ever visited the site or continues to visit the site the social media

followers the you listen to a podcast if you buy a t-shirt you buy a hat whatever like huge huge

appreciation for all of you that goes without saying the support over the years obviously not

possible it's not possible to have the numbers we have whether social following or traffic or whatever

without the people kind of coming to kind of see what you know what what's going to happen today the

playlists have been a big thing for us too so just been a whirlwind and it just fit and I don't know

how west you would describe it but I feel like or I know we had a ton of people kind of come to us
