Hi everybody, welcome to Stratosphere Alon. I'm your host, Bill Whittle, and today is a special day, different day from the last four or five months, I would let me just fix that light hang on a second one of

our engineers one of our team of engineers came in and adjusted that and didn't put it back so he's sacked

how is everybody doing anyway so here yeah, here's what's different.

I got in here around 4 o'clock a.m.

And around 132 o'clock, I think I hammered the last word into episode nine of this Empire of Terror series.

So for the first time in five months, it's done.

And not only did I get episode eight done, I had to get episode nine done as well because

there was just too much history.

So it was just great to get that finished.

And then of course, last Friday, a week after we recorded last time, I come in at night to get this critical writing done, which I'm, you know, on the edge of the

deadline there. And I come into the studio, ready to go, and the internet is down because it

rained. And that's, you know, come on. I look like Batman. Come on. It's called a Dutch angle.

Anyway, I was, yeah, I was coming in to get this stuff done.

And the next thing I know, I am, well, first of all, I got locked out of the building.

So it was raining, it wasn't raining Florida hard, but it had been raining hard for a long time.

And there's a parking garage here with the underground parking, and I did the whole little card thing, and nothing happened.

And not only was it raining hard, it was really cold for California anyway.

Plus, the whole area was flooded.

So that was Friday night.

I came around, thank you.

Good to see you, too, Monk.

Thank you for your super chat.
