All right, folks.

Welcome back to the Dave Chang Show, part of the Ringer Podcast Network, presented by Major

Doma Media.

Thank you all at Tango, as always. We are here at our studio at the row in downtown Los Angeles.

We are very much here at our studio live.

Live in downtown Los Angeles. We're doing a lot of things live. live in downtown Los Angeles.

We're doing a lot of things live.

So what you're seeing is the background of Netflix's dinner time live and this is, strange

We had a different plan in place and I'm really happy that we worked

through that for the first episode back and yeah we've been off for some time. There was a bunch of things happening.

We've been super busy, we had surgery, really just unfortunately busy,

and the break took a little bit longer than we thought it was going to and we

wanted to do it right and to get organized right. One of the things that's

different and we'll talk about that a little bit later is you know he's pursuing a higher calling some might say a

lower calling but we're gonna whip this podcast back into shape and excited. Thank you for waiting and to the team at the Ringer in Spotify.

Yeah. I almost wish that everyone could have seen the 45 minutes before we went

live just now because the truth is like you said we weren't gonna do it we had another

podcast we were gonna release today and we were like, you know what,

this is the way we do things and we want people to see that we are, we keep, I see people on
