What's up guys, this is a podcast beyond episode 196. I am not Greg Miller. I am Jim Rally. I'm joined by Ryan Climates and Moriarty.

You're so happy right now. I know I am. We're giddy. I'm really not happy actually. Greg is not here this week. No. I am though. Jim is here. Greg is going to be busy today and an event. We were going to try to record early in the morning. It still is early in the morning. Actually, it's like 930 or something. It's actually early for me too. I'd be just walking in right now, I think. So yeah, we had to get the Ripper report early today. We had to do this. That new thing early today. Listen to a little amount and daily on the way to work.

Man, it's always a tough call with the Lamontanolies, man. Now, I want to get something out of the way real quick comments. Jim, this new podcast set up. I was hoping you'd comment on that. I'm not feeling this. Now, I'm not talking about Jim hosting the show. That's great. Jim introduced the show. It's what I used to do radio in college. Jim did do radio in college. That's absolutely true. What was the university? It's a fine establishment. No worry about it. I'm not really that worried about it. So we have, we usually have these headphones.

With the little mics coming out, maybe what a pilot would wear. Or something like that. Or someone in the NSA, maybe at a computer terminal. Now, we have these microphones that are bulging out of the middle of the table here. So it's more like a radio setup. Now, this is problematic, Jim, because you can't lean back and relax. You have to be right on top of this goddamn microphone. The entire discussion for you ain't working on it.

The news flash. It actually helps you focus and stay energized. I don't know. To me, I feel like I like to sit back and ponder. I like to absorb what everyone's saying. Now, I have to sit with my neck arched towards this microphone.

You can sit back and ponder and then lean forward when you want to sit down. Do I sound good to you guys? Yeah. You sound really good. In my headphones, I have a kind of echoing.

It's okay. This is what happens. It'll sound okay once in the final product. I'm hoping we can bring back the old setup.

It's too late. Too late. I'm very disappointed in the setup. Before we get into anything, I just want to make sure everybody knows I platinum demon souls a second time.

It took me about five days. Congrats. I beat the game in total 10 times. Oh my god. Yeah. Do you want to tell everyone what happened on Sunday, Jim?

I don't remember what happened on Sunday. We were supposed to go to dinner. Oh, yeah. So this was a serious issue. Colin blew me off.

I didn't want to get text at 10.30 says so what are your plans for it? Because we had discussed the week before that we were working at dinner on Sunday night. Okay.

Something that text at 10.30 says, uh, hey, you just want to know what the plans are for today. And then at 12.30 two hours later, he says, well, I got other plans up. See you later.

That's not what I haven't even got out of bed. That's not what all right. So first of all, it's 10.57. I texted you. And I said, what time do you want to meet?

Is it was it was the queer. No, no, no, it wasn't what time it was. Are we still on for? Okay. It was something of that. Something of this nature. Okay. And then and then I went. So I did this when I was going out.

To the supermarket. I went. I ate breakfast. I like went to three different stores.

I get home exactly two hours later. I just happened to pick up the phone. He hasn't texted back. So I'm like, all right, man, why I have other plans?

Because it was the day of your barbecue. What I wanted to know was if Jim wanted to, you know, maybe come through to the barbecue and then we can go to dinner afterwards.

But I never heard from you. So I just ended up getting drunk at rank. I was sleeping. It was such a good time. By the way, barbecue at my place turned out spectacular. It was the day before Independence Day.

Oh my god. My god. But we watched Independence Day. This was the first time I've seen this movie. What? No, no, I was about to say in what must be 5 to 10 years. I mean, I don't know. It's been. It's been a really long time.

But man, we rocked to that blue ray so hard. We had everybody just hysterical laughing. It's a good movie. The part of the movie were the dog.

They're in the the woman's in the tunnel and the dog leaps in the dog leaps in. I didn't realize it at first until someone told me afterwards. But at that part, you're like, oh, great. The dog made it. But then you realize, oh, many people just died in the tunnel and in the whole city.

But the dog lived. The dog made it. And I would like to point out that during the dog jumping section, everybody cheered.
