Hey everybody, it's Nick. And it's Leah. Real quick thing before we get going, we are on a break this |
| 0:38.0 | week. It's a holiday Monday. And from time to time, we're going to just like take a week off because |
| 0:43.0 | we want to. Such as this week. Nick, straight to the point, which we've said before, but I just |
| 0:51.7 | like to bring it up. Our options are to do seasons, |
| 0:55.0 | which we would take long breaks from you. And I couldn't, I couldn't live like that. I just couldn't do it. No. And there just be too many etiquette problems that would fester. And, you know, then they grow. It's sort of like sourdough starters. It just becomes too big. It's exactly like a sourdough starter. That is what I was thinking. But we don't want to leave you empty-handed. |
| 1:14.3 | So we found the perfect episode from the archives just for you. And this episode has an amazing Nick Histoire. Yes. Oh, no, this is a good one. Yeah. Speaking of yeasted doughs, yeah, no, this is fun. it definitely takes a lot of turns and, oh, pun intended. |

| 1:40.6 | puns? We said more puns, please. I believe is what we said. |
| 1:44.9 | And then we also have a great segment about pretending not to notice, which I will try to do with your puns. |
| 1:52.0 | But I won't let you. |
| 1:53.3 | No. |
| 1:54.1 | It's definitely easier said than done. |
| 1:55.9 | For sure. |
| 1:56.3 | I think pretending not to notice is such a fun topic because we all, we all do it on the regular. I don't see that. I'm going to ignore that happened. I'm pretending not to notice. Yeah, it's definitely a great foundational skill to have in this world. I would say especially in New York City. Yeah, I mean, certainly New York is a great place to practice. It's really a training ground for pretending not to notice. |
| 2:18.3 | So we'll be back next week with an all new episode, but for now, let's start the show. |
| 2:22.4 | Let's get in it. |
