Hello and welcome to The Great Beyond and is this good companion pod where we follow up on last week's episode, answer listener questions, and catch up with each other.

The person I'm catching up with is, of course, Jason Doyle. J.D., how are you?

I'm great. How are you?

I'm very good. After this show, I'm going to be getting on an airplane flying across the country to the great city of Atlanta, and I'm going to see you in the flesh.

Wow.

I'm going to be in the classic factory where you are right now for the first time ever.

I mean, I actually can't believe that, because I think I've been back to Atlanta when you still had...

Yeah, well, you were in the classic factor, but I just haven't been inside of it.

I haven't entered the sanctum.

No, you were supposed to come, I think, at one point, but something got...

Yeah, I was in Atlanta for work, I think, at that time.

You couldn't get away.

But this time, I will enter it, and we will be recording a live, is this good?

I mean, it'll be live in the sense that we'll be all live in the same room.

Right.

But not live in the sense that it'll be streaming live.

It'll be live to tape. It'll be live to tape, as they say. So one thing that started as a joke that now seems to be coming to fruition is that it sounds like we're actually going to play a game of pickleball against each other. It's happening, man. It is happening. My phone has been blowing up from rachel going what time is he is he available

we're trying to like schedule stuff who's playing blah blah blah blah it's gonna be big it's gonna be

big so that means that me you and rachel are playing so you asked me is is jill my girlfriend

gonna play i haven't asked jill i just immediately said no when you asked me, is, is Jill my girlfriend going to play? I haven't asked Jill. I just

immediately said no when you texted me. Jill's going to be listening to this. Maybe she'll be angry.

But if she gets angry at me, I will say to her, you've never picked up a racket of any kind.
