Ladies and gentlemen, the director of the Mercury Theater and star of these broadcasts.

Hello, Alex.

We know now that in the early years of the 20th century,

this world was being watched closely by intelligences greater than man's,

and yet as mortal as his own.

We know now that as human beings busy themselves about their various concerns,

they were scrutinized and studied.

Perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with a microscope might scrutinize the transient creatures

that swarm and multiply in a drop of water.

You asked it a ragged, you're right on my chair, it's gone. warm and multiply in a drop of water.

You asked you to arrive in my chair. It's gone.

What are you doing? What are you doing? What are you doing?

That is not painful by them. That is painful by the people of Detroit.

You might be qualified in them. I'm not qualified for this job.

Let me tell you something. you want to go right now?

Okay, you want to go right now?

So we had a carefully crafted intro, geared towards Halloween with Orson Wells, broadcast, Mercury Theater War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells.

And Mark, who seems to be as fearless as John Hausman. That's what that was. It was, but I think there was an opportunity for you to dub in a little bit of, a little bit of Orson Wells, and you were afraid. No, you know what? It's a time crunch, right? Honestly. You couldn't touch. What time did you send that to me yesterday? I will send no intro before it's time.

That's what Orson Well said.

Sometimes people run out of it. I like that you're taking your clothes off to start the show. A little striptease, huh? Nice. Yeah, right on camera. And speaking of organisms that swarm and multiplying a glass of water,

is Sean Windsor here with us from the Detroit Free Press and the Carlos and Yon podcast.

Among us. that swarm and multiplying a glass of water is Sean Windsor here with us from the Detroit Free Press and the Carlos and Yon podcast. I'm on, uh, he's going already. I'm neutral here, Mark. And we have a Michigan. Mike's got the state. Our guest, of course, is state. Kalina Nice. Kalina Nice. I always get that wrong. No, it's niece. What I was going to say? How long have you known me? my whole life. You always get that wrong. No, it's niece. I was going to say it.
