Hello everyone and Happy New Year. Happy 2016. You are listening to the giant beast cast.

We are still officially on vacation. The eye is closed. The giant CBS eye is not looking

our way. We have snuck off to our respective homelands and safe places joining me from

his safe place. Alex Navarro. Wait, were we supposed to be on vacation this week?

How is your safe place work? Yeah, I've been just sitting at my desk doing work all

week. Did something happen? What happened? Why am I not on vacation right now?

Alex, you know, we've been here long enough to know we never communicate. You know there

are no memos. I think there's a part of me that would just just hopes that every year

somehow that will change, but it doesn't, and I never actually, I don't know, some

reason I just never let go of the dream. I got an email. I got a memo that said I need

to go through every email. I've never gotten and delete some of it. That's a memo I got.

For some reason, you're saying that, just a very, very little bowsky voice in my head.

It's like, yeah, man, I got an email. That's Austin Walker calling from his safe place

in undisclosed location somewhere in Jersey. No, I'm actually back in New York now. Oh,

you know, that's where my good equipment is and also my good bet. I've been sleeping

on a futon in Jersey for the last like five days, and it has just destroyed. I don't have

a back anymore. I used to have a back. It's still on that futon in Jersey. Nice. Now it's

just like some futon, the slats. Yes. Yes. So yeah, we're all, we're all recording from

either home or not in the office. So if the audio sounds any different to you, that is why

I'm recording from a basement. So you might hear a heater cycle on or a washing machine go.

So it is your basement, not just a basement. Yes. I mean, actual my basement right now.

And we're going to do this one. This is again, just a little bonus episode to get us
