Just being stupid.

Hit it, boys!

First of all, thank you all for the very kind words.

Famously, we didn't want to do the last episode,

and forces beyond our control made us do it. But everybody said so many nice things,

and obviously I'm by far the least important part of that operation, but it was very, very nice to you, and we appreciate that.

Yeah, for sure. And not unexpected. I mean, anytime we do one of those episodes, it always,

I feel like the feedback is always pretty kind. kind. We've got some, some very nice people

that listen to this podcast, and I appreciate everybody that reached out. There are a lot,

a lot of kind words, a lot of, a lot of people reached out with, like, advice, insight,

people that have been there before. I really appreciate that. And just like anybody who

reached out and was just like, yo, that sucks. I feel really bad. And I appreciate that. And just like anybody who reached out and was just like, yo, that sucks.

It was very nice and we appreciate that. And I don't think that qualifies as like starting the

I mean, we never really want to do that when we when we do that of mind. We never really want to do that when we,

when we do that every single episode for like the first half an hour of the episode. No, we don't. We talk about something random and then we get into housekeeping. That's true. Well, no, that's not true. Like, um, we do that a lot with tomato fights. Well, it'll be like, oh, this week we recorded tomato fights and it was so much fun that we're going to talk about it for 30 minutes.

I'll give you a no, I'll be like, oh, this week we recorded tomato fights, and it was so much fun that we're

going to talk about it for 30 minutes.
