Hello everybody and welcome back to the Giant Beast Casts!

As it was in the beginning is now and never shall be podcast without end.

I'm Vinic Caravella here on the Giant Beast Casts.

Once again you can't get rid of me that easily. They rebuilt me. I'm better than ever now.

People said I was a coward but now I got more backbone than never.

It took some of the spine out and I was just all fucking backbone.

I'm gonna join my Alex Navarro.

Hello Vinic, congratulations to your spine on a successful fusion.

Thank you very much. Yes, we have done the fusion dance.

Two vertebrae have done the fusion dance. Got rid of that disc in the middle who needs it.

Now they are Volterra.

Now I have Volterra. Jeff Bakler, how are you?

What's up man? I'm so glad you're back.

Thank you.

You are doing such a good job at further complicating my understanding of human recovery.

Yeah, that's what I like to do. As soon as I get off my mic with you, I fall into a puddle of tears.

I just want to confuse you. Don't get it.

Last week you sounded like a fucking monster person.

This week you're basically perfect.

I'm just glad you're back because we're nothing without you.

It turns out that swelling of the vocal cords does a real number on you.

When that swelling goes down, it's like the person you knew and loved returns.
