0:00.0	Greetings, fungal associates. Welcome to Completely Arbitrary, the podcast about trees and
0:15.0	other related topics. I am Alex Croson, and I'm alongside my co-host as always, Casey Jibbada
0:23.0	Well, how are you doing? Hi, Casey. Alex, I'm glad that you're still here. You know what
0:32.4	I'll say to you, Casey? Yes. I'm glad to be with you, Casey Clap, here at the end of all things.
0:38.0	This is where I've always wanted to be with you, Alex. You know what I'm referencing? I believe when
0:45.3	the mountain was about to explode after the ring of power was thrown in. Yeah. And then both
0:53.0	a rather, I'm sorry, mostly just Frodo thought that he was going to die, and he assumed that Sam
0:59.1	was also going to have that attitude. Yeah. But then what did Sam do? Picked his ass up, took him
1:05.6	outside. This is looking home. Talk to him in bed. I think that's when they're laying on the

1:18.4	It's over. I think you sent me a meme of that one time. Yes, when I was done editing a particularly

1:46.4	does feel it feels like this is going to be us walking into Mordor. Yeah. I'm weary. We've never
1:53.3	recorded this much in a row. I truly feel like a hero like Frodo. Okay. I hope that then I'm the
1:59.4	hero like Sam, which as I've made very clear before, is the actual hero of Lord of the Rings,
2:07.5	the series. I basically disagree. I know, but that's all right. Not everyone's not everyone can
2:13.0	be right all the time. We all have our theories. We all have our cones and each is Sam. Wow.
2:20.3	Can you tell I'm faking it? All right. Alex, when did I get here today? You got to my house at about
2:29.9	10 o'clock. Yeah. And it is now 5.55. Yes. It's about 6 p.m. Yeah. So it's been a long day. We've
2:38.2	now officially been 12 hours. No. About eight hours. Yes. Eight hours, which is for us the longest
