Hello, friends and welcome to an unexpected podcast. I'm Iz. And I'm Lane.

How good was that? I was good. I had just swallowed. That was mid-sip. Okay. And we are talking

Tolkien. We're coming to you from the Shire of America, beautiful state of Ohio, and a little village

called Amanda.

Yeah, that was a little competition we were having there.

So, Lane was sipping his coffee, and I was trying to see if I could get the intro in quick

enough to where I disrupted him.

Here we go, as is what I was talking about.

And it's times like that, it's little memories like that.

Yeah.

That will leave us smiling when we're dying let's go you heard it you heard it in the intro you'll you'll you'll I think just the instrumental part you'll get the lyrics at the end yeah

Faces we had seen before and were, and we're hanging out with again, people were we were meeting for the first time.

Some faces we knew that we had never met before.

Yes, yes.
