I heartily endorse this event or product. Aho-hoi-hoi everybody and welcome to talk to the audience where this is

always death. I am one of your host the Steamy Awards presenter Bob Mackie and

who is here with me as always?

Bell and Sebastian Old Man fan Henry Gilbert.

So if you're new to talk to the audience on this podcast, we talk about what's happening in the

world of The Simpsons and in Our World and then respond to your questions and comments from the last round of episodes.

And if you're on the Patreon, this arrives at the end of the month, and if you're on the free feed,

this arrives at the beginning of the month.

And I have to announce, folks, it's finally happened after a very long year

this is now our final podcast recording of 2023.

It's happening I looked up that sound effect on YouTube just for this a moment in time.

It was worth it. That was great. It's been a it's been another busy busy month to get

ready for another long break is we basically

Seven weeks apart are both taking long trips to Japan and so now now it's my turn

I was just thinking about it the other day and I don't know how we still put out all of our podcasts on time because we each took two

and a half weeks off kind of for Japan for a Japan trips and then we moved

and we didn't record for six weeks so it's kind of like we didn't record for two months

is. Wow yeah when you put it that way we did and and also I mean before that six weeks off

Definitely me and you both took visits to our spouses as well and like we kind of took like weeks here and there off too so it was a lot of a lot of time off that we squeezed in there maybe that's why we felt it felt so busy when it wasn't time off this year.

Yeah, it's a lot I'm looking forward to a much more stable year next year now that we've both

planted down our roots the long-awaited moves to finally happen the listeners are tired of

hearing about it I don't blame them I'm just happy to be where I am right now.
