You're going to be here. Hello and

welcome to episode 843 of the Sleeper and the Bust.

It is Thursday August 20th.

I'm your host Paul Spoor and I'm joined by Justin Mason.

Justin, good morning, sir. Good morning, how you doing?

I'm doing pretty well. All things considered, got to watch Casey Mies pitched yesterday that was a lot of fun and you know

Pitching was a lot of pitching was great yesterday. There was a lot good pitching we're going to get into a bunch of it so yeah I'm doing all right how about yourself?

I'm doing okay it's pretty smoky here got fires on like every side of us which is a bit crazy you know almost

like the new normal but we're luckily far enough away from every one of them this time so that's at least good.

Yeah that is good. You had to evacuate last time, yeah?

Oh no, last year we didn't have to evacuate 2017 we did but I mean yeah the last few times we've had fires

They've been you know up we had one that got within a mile of our house, but this time, you know, the

closest one's about 30 miles away, but it is literally looking like it is snowing in August in Northern California right now

there's so much ash dropping. Well hopefully everybody who's listening who is

near that stay safe and yeah I know Jen's been keeping a close eye on it with her

parents in California and thankfully they're out of the danger zone right now too but you just you don't know and so it's always it's always

scary and hopefully everything goes all right yeah these like you said new normal you

know it just seems it's almost like it's it's there's fire season now you know not to mention I

lit my house on fire or at least my brother-in-law did what happened there you sent

us the picture what the literal heck happened there? I don't know I was having a

cigarette you know on the side of my house and you know there's been fires

everywhere and so it's been smoky and ash been falling but all of a sudden it looked really really smoky in my backyard
