Hello and welcome to Factuals!

0:29.9

I'm Adam Connover. Thank you so much for joining me once again on the show.

0:34.3

So a little bit of housekeeping here. You may have heard, if you follow me on Twitter,

0:38.7

that a couple weeks ago, our podcast network, Starburn's Industries, evaporated. It went poof.

0:45.2

It disappeared like it was shot by the Death Star, okay? I got an email on a Friday saying,
