Hey, everyone. Welcome to served. We survived to get to another week of talking nonsense on this show.

Happy to be here, to be back. I had a week. I was barely here at home, L.A. to New York. Saw producer Mike,

saw J.W. for like two high fives. A little update. So we did have on some previous episodes,

0:30.4

we auctioned off the opportunity to hit an Arthur Ashe Stadium to some listeners. It all worked out.

0:35.8

A donation was made. Fun was had. We were at Arthur Ash Stadium.

0:39.8

Anytime Mike goes there, he ends up either in the first row or on the court. Slightly offensive.

1:45.0

not quite as much, but I'm kind of over there hitting. And our special guest, our friend,

1:49.4

your friend that you were so nice to host at Arthur S. Stadium is none of other than Lynn Manuel
