So this is Vincent, if you couldn't tell. And I got a little program note for you. And that program note is, we did it again. Yeah, we got to talking about this story. And I do think it's a really cool story, but we were having so much fun talking about it. We ran really long. So I'm going to break this episode into two parts. A lot of podcasters like to do that. Though typically when they do it, you know,

they meant to do it. They planned it. We didn't do that. We just had a long, fun, rambling

conversation about this very strange story that I think you'll enjoy. But to make it a little

more digestible, I broke it into two chunks. So the other chunk is going to be coming at you

tomorrow. In the meantime, this is

part one. Enjoy.

Absolutely.
