Welcome back to the Compound Podcast. This is episode 166-5-165.

All right, the Compound Podcast, presented by Karsei Rum. My favorite Rum, your favorite Rum. Tom hates our slogan.

When I say Karsei, you say Rum. Karsei. Rum. Yeah. Oh, Tom still said it. He's into it. He's into it.

I just thought we could workshop maybe a better one. We had some comments on the YouTube with a couple different suggestions.

People are saying maybe you just say the first part and then you just know to say Rum after it, rather than saying it again.

That's the same slogan, Tom. But it's just half of it. So you just know to say Rum instead of having to say Parsei again.

That's what everyone does already though. No one says Parsei. I want people to say Parsei.

Did anybody come up with a new slogan, Tom? No, it's mostly comments about trying to improve the current one, I guess.

I think we're doing great. Me too. There's a lot to talk about. I guess we start with London.

Got to start with London. But the thing is, well, you get it. Yeah, we should we wait for Zach. No, he's going to have a million questions.

He's going to have a million questions for you about it. Okay, well, all right. For the listeners, Zach is coming back from his game.

He will join us shortly. But they had a little bit of a later bus to code has gotten early bus tomorrow. So we're getting it. We're getting it rolling.

Let's start talking about today. The cubby's played today. Smoke index. We had wildfires from Canada. No, the rest of the country is experiencing this.

Experiencing this. Chicago had the worst air quality in the world today. And we just played a we just played a way ago.

What was your what was your air quality number? Tom be ready to laugh in his face. There's no way it was as bad as New York.

No, but it was 250. I think New York was what was New York? Three what for New York? New York got up to like 415 very briefly. It was mostly in the 300s. But there was a point where it spiked up to like 415.

And I guess that is you guys had in 300. So 250 was nothing. It I we played. I didn't say it was nothing. I'm saying. Yeah, it's not a big deal. It's not a big deal. Don't worry about my lungs.

We had a game canceled because of it. That we didn't. So we we went and played. The whole city was was just one big cloud today. And we played the game.

You could you could taste it. Yeah, you could smell it. You could taste it. And by the time the game was over, I showered and came out. I felt like I smoked a cigar for three hours.

No. So when it when we were in Pennsylvania when they were all along the west coast or the east coast. Sorry.

And I went out and like did sprints. Oops, weird brag. Just getting better. I was doing sprints. And I did like six. And I like couldn't catch my breath. I'm like, all right.

I'm not like a world class sprinter, but I'm in better shape than this. I didn't know that that was why. But when it first happened, I was like, what's going on here? Like I'm in better shapes than this.
