You ready to start this podcast?

I am ready to start this podcast.

Are you ready to tell me what the new segment is?

I am ready.

We have to do banter first, and then we got to do the new segment.

Let's call it banter in the show so that people know we're being disingenuous when we're doing it. Welcome to The Crunch, the only podcast where one co-host consistently lets down the other co-host.

Yeah, that's right.

Feel bad for me.

And I'm Patrick.

You didn't steal my joke.

I thought you were going to steal it.

Well, I thought about stealing your joke, but then I thought of just about how disappointing I am.

No, no, no, no, no. You can do the joke. It was funny. No, it's, by the end of this episode, I'm sure I'll think of a good introductory joke. You got to just put a little, put a little, like, notepad, okay, next to your podcasting machine.

And you can have a little a little

title at the top that says Ethan's jokes and like the E can be backwards but not the rest not the

other E and I was a kid I had one of these and it I had like one joke in it and then I never filled it up.

It was just in a blank page. Yeah. But I feel like this always happens where I'm like, yeah, I'm going to take notes and I'm going to remember the funny things that I think of throughout the week, which is what I'm sure successful funny people do. That's what Seinfeld did. Yeah. So more or less. I know. I just I I, I, I, I, I, I, I'm, this is my pledge to Patrick and to the audience.

Okay.

From now, I, Ethan.

I, Ethan, promise to be funny.

Do my best, to do my duty, to God in my country.

Help other people to be a loyal podcaster.
