This is an introduction to the podcast this week.

That was a little taster of a new musical I'm working on called The Podcast, about three guys, two of them normal, one of them based on Steve.

And it begins with a wonderful chorus, where it's IBS

assemble. And it's a superhero style thing. And we are lowered onto the stage from above. But while me and Joe, our feet touch the stage, Steve, you keep going through a trapdoor.

And you remain there.

And all your songs are called like the sidekicks lament.

And it's really, all your songs are sad.

All your songs are so sad

and they all happen in the intermission

because you've got to keep people entertained throughout

the crux of the narrative is that I

am sick of being the sidekick

and they go off to run my own evil podcast

yeah exactly

so I'll leave that

with you to write. Yeah, I'd love to, yeah. I'm a concept guy. I'm a concept guy. So I just fire these out. And I'll leave you guys to do it. I've got a new idea for a microphone. I'd like you to start working on. It's on a, it's like a, you know, if you're...

If you're walking downstairs and the broadcasting.

Yeah.

My idea is for a microphone that follows right behind you like a slinky.

Okay, an automated one or does someone need to hold it?
