Hello, friends. Just a little bit of housekeeping up top before we get started here.

If you've seen our posts on Facebook, then you already know what happened and why there was a

slight delay in putting a new episode out. But for those of you that didn't see that stuff,

here's the situation. A week ago, Donna Carlos and I sat down to talk about Beetlejuice.

And unfortunately, there were some technical difficulties,

and it became the latest entry on a growing list of lost episodes. So the other stroke of bad luck

here is that this is a moment in time where we don't have anything else in the queue. There was

nothing we could put out in its place. So we've been scrambling to figure out how to get

something out to you guys

ASAP. But this was not a week we were originally scheduled to record. So trying to find time where all

three of us were available, that was a little bit of a challenge. So Carlos, sadly, was not able to

join us this time. But, you know, we were weighing all our options, trying to figure out what to do.

And, you know, it became clear that it was either put something together and without him or just

have no new episodes for a month. And that just didn't sit well with anybody. So I think we all

recognize that this was the best course of action. Carlos gave us his blessing to Soldier on, and so that's

what we did. He was definitely missed, but this whole situation gave us an opportunity to do something

we'd already had in the pipeline anyways. It was just a matter of making it happen a lot sooner than

we had originally planned. So it's different and it's cool, and I think you're going to like it,

and you'll find out what it is in just a minute here. The other thing is in light of all of this stuff, we've been

talking about it and I think at this point it makes a lot of sense to just do an episode devoted

to all the stuff you guys are never going to be able to hear. Just go through every lost episode,

summarize how we felt about each of
