How's it going and welcome to episode 214 of On the Wire?

A proud member of the Pitcher List Podcast Network.

I am Adam Howe.

Joined as always by Kevin Hasting.

And thank you all for listening or watching.

We have a great show lined up for you.

As always, before we get into all of that, Kevin, I'm just happy to be here.

I'm happy to have electricity once again.

For those tuning in live, you might see that we are recording us a very late Saturday evening on the East Coast, post 10.30 p.m.

Back to our old days, Kevin,

when we were doing that on a regular basis. So nice to be back in that company. But yeah,

I had a nice, nice storm come through last night and about an hour and a half before we were supposed to record lost all my power.

And I knew I knew my hot spot on my phone was not going to hold up over an entire episode.

So just happy to be here, man.

How are you doing?

Yeah, I'm happy you're here as well.

Glad you made it through it.

I'm a little jealous, actually. I love thunderstorms and I don't get're here as well. Glad, glad you made it through it. I'm a little jealous, actually.

I love thunderstorms, and I don't get those anymore.

Well, I get a lot of rain, but I've heard thunder.

I can count the times on one hand that I've heard thunder in the 10 years I've been in Hawaii.

So a little jealous of the storms.
