from the Jil Schwartz Memorial Library here in the wilds of Connecticut.

This is obscure season two Frankenstein.

I'm your host, your ear lover, your literary mansplainer in chief,

your Victorianologist, also your ulogist Michael Ian Black, two-time NFL champion nine years in the

NFL two rings nine years two rings and

and PhD candidate in biology.

So it is a pleasure to welcome you as always

to the Josh Schwartz Memorial Library.

should I say obscuring, thanks guys, obscuring our view when we left the driveway

so it wasn't as safe.

hill and I'm supposed to get rid of it. How do you even do that?
