What's up, everybody? Welcome to a brand new episode of part of the problem. I am Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire, Bernstein. My apologies for missing yesterday's show. I was a bit under the weather. Doing much better today, though. So we're right back at it. How you doing, Rob?

Doing well.

And kids will do that to you.

I've warned you, but your immune system between being on the road and having to deal with two little snot rags must be incredible. Yeah, no, I'm going to be, I'm going to live to 130. but for now it's uh it's it's yeah having little kids does do that to you but between i don't

know yes i grew up in new York City. I've rode the subway my whole life. I worked the road as a comedian and I have little kids. I've always, I've been working on a real, my plan has been to just get, this is why I was good on lockdowns, Rob, because I was always just trying to get as many germs to have a stronger immune system.

But yeah, there you go.

Go ahead.

I'm sorry.

Oh, a couple of live dates, everybody.

I got my Colorado run if you want to come ski with me or see me at Inga's Lounge for a Sunday afternoon day drinker.

And then closing out the year with the New Year's show with Sam Tripoli.

And then, of course, you got your wife's book. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's a healthy hibernation, by the way. We had a little bit of a problem with way more demand than we were anticipating. Oh, that's sick. Yeah, yeah, yeah. No, it's a good problem to have. But healthy hibernation is up available still on, on Amazon. Okay, so we let's's there's a bunch of stuff i want to talk to

this is one of those day you know sometimes we have you know these shows where there's just a lot of

stuff to get to and then of course um we you know the timing of our last episode of the week

there's always the biggest gap between that and then the first episode of the next week.

And then we missed yesterday's show.

So there was a particularly big gap.

So there's a lot of stuff to talk about.

I do want to lead with an important correction from the last show that I really must make.

What I said in our last episode, and I don't know, listen, I do not often do this, but I just got this wrong and thought I remembered reading something I didn't read. But I said a couple times in the last episode that Pollard was at the White House, and that was not right. I thought I had read that initially, and then I'd read a bunch of other articles, and then I went back and realized I just invented that in my own mind.

So sorry about that guys.

Brain fart. It happens.
