week's host to recap some of the latest news and preview what's coming up next. I'm Lily Blumpkin, a writer at the show, and I'm joined today by your host this week, Jordan Klepper. Yeah. Welcome. Thank you, Lily. It's really, I should say welcome to myself, because this is the first time I've been on the podcast. How does it feel so forth? Yeah, you're pre-casting. Yeah, my precast. There's a delicate balance with every precast.
