Come Moon Howl. Hey there, it's Nick. And it's Leah. Real quick thing before we get going, we are still on a break this week. But this is the last one. We're back next week. We are. We're going to be back next week with an all new episode, but we wouldn't leave you empty-handed this week. So we found the perfect episode from the archives just for you.

| 1:18.2 | I actually do have this problem. |
| 1:20.2 | Recently you actually mentioned this again. |

| 1:24.9 | I don't think it's really sunk in for me. |
| 1:25.9 | I know it hasn't. |
| 1:26.6 | I was supposed to see this. |
| 1:45.4 | Like, oh, there he goes again. Yeah, I really have a hard time believing it. This also is a great episode because we do a freaky Friday where you just basically become incredibly aggressive and I'm here for it. I really worked up in this episode. Also, this one has my favorite. We have a great bonkers in this. |
| 1:46.1 | I mean, it's bonkers. |
| 1:49.9 | And I went a little different with the bonkers. |
| 1:54.0 | And it really inspires me to want to switch up. |
| 1:56.4 | Maybe I should switch up like the sirens more. |
