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.

And, of course, the person I'm catching up with is Jason Doyle. Hi, JD.

Hello.

Good to see you. This is the second episode of The Great Beyond. Did our first one last week. It was supposed to be a minisode.

It went about an hour. How confident are you feeling that this second episode will actually be

mini? Not confident at all. And I don't know why you want it to be mini. Like, what's the point

of that? Um, so that I could say mini sods, because I already said

they were going to be minisodes. I had, I had the nerve, Tray Kirby, our own Tray Kirby was in the

comment saying, this isn't a minisode. Uh, and the way I'm interpreting that is that, as you

know, when we used to work together, a frequent note of mine would be, why is this so long?

Yeah.

You know, let's tighten this up a bit.

Let's keep it light, but keep it tight.

We can be tight and be light.

A lot of people think that if you want to be light, you got to meander.

But I think it could be light and tight.

Yeah.

Anyways, he was making fun of me.

So that was an indignity.

Well, I can't go through that again.

But that is the inside joke around here.

It's not even an inside joke.
