Slack.com slash DHQ. We are recording the show from Syracuse, New York. I think our last

show was in Virginia. It was Roanoke, Virginia. We were using different microphones that

we are today and they drove me nuts. I'm not sure how I feel about these microphones.

Well, haven't we used these before? We have, but if you've noticed, there's no covers

on them. I forgot the windscreen. You know what? I shouldn't even bring it up because nobody

will notice, but I notice. That's going to drive me nuts.

Jeff's an audio perfectionist. Luckily, we're in a hotel room, so there's no wind.

Right. It shouldn't be a problem. A couple of things that I have gotten to experience.

I've been to Syracuse a handful of times before. It's definitely not my first time. Three

things that I got to experience for the very first time. Number one, a frozen lake. Not

only did I see my very first frozen lake, but I got to see people ice fishing, which is

amazing to me because I hate fishing and I hate cold weather and the two of them together.

Just why would anybody do that? I remember where I took you with where that lake was. I

have been there before and that guard rail that was up didn't used to be there or it was,

but it was two guard rails with a space in between. I wanted you to walk down and stand

on the frozen lake, but the guard rail was there and it would have just been too much

of an ordeal. That's out there right there. That's an old man thing. I'm like climbing.
