And we're back with an all new episode of Keep It. I'm Ira the third. I'm Louis

for tell still I'm gonna keep doing it till I get it right.

And I am happy to welcome our guest host this week. Zach Stafford. Hi, it's so good to be here.

I'm so you know not in my wildest dreams that I think I'd ever be guest hosting. I never

thought I'd be good enough to be here. So this is really life affirming right now to be here with you guys.

What the fuck do you think we are? I'm just sitting right in this person's opinion counts from

the MSNBC and I'm like, are you sure you want to waste your time with us? Real thoughts?

I look with these stated. Go. I know I really love you. I've known Ira for a while at least and

they're just meeting. But no, I'm a big believer. I mean, I have this whole background of being like a

crime reporter and all these other really intense things. But I think culture is like the best way

to talk to people about the world. So I know I'll do that really well. So you know, before this like

my friend Dumbly drew to the show, Syee Jones is like my best friends. They were like, girl,

those two have an encyclopedic knowledge of every fucking thing. And I was like, oh god,

I'm so scared of that. Well, you better bring it. I'm gonna try. Yeah, this is an excuse.

Don't pull up in the Sri Lanka. I know. I'm gonna show up. I'm gonna show up and show out. But yeah,

your reputation's even in our media circles are very large. So I'm excited to be here.

Well, what's also exciting is we were just talking about before we were recording,

oh, three of us went to school in Chicago. Oh, yeah, or I'm from Chicago. I didn't go to school in

Chicago. But I admire people who do go to school again. The University of Iowa, which is,

which is a refuge for Chicago suburbanites who think the University of Illinois is too ugly.

Well, you went to high school in Illinois. That's correct. It's sort of the same thing.

Okay, school school with the rest of the breakfast club. Yes, that's right. Allie Shidi and I
