This is the Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to the AMC TV show The Walking Dead. Hello everyone my name is Chris and my name is Jason and this is the talking dead number 400 recorded

Tuesday October 23rd 2018 400 is a pretty big number. We've it's taken us nine years to get here. But here we are number 400.

That's exciting. It's a milestone, Chris.

It is. And I don't know why it's just another number really when you think about it, but something

about starting the show at number 400 and I feel a little butterflies in the

stomach for some reason I'm a little bit nervous I don't want to screw it up because

it's number 400 you can't screw it up Chris I can't no not any worse than we screwed up any other

podcast episode in the past oh well in that in that in that regard it's just another

number it's another opportunity to have things be perfectly imperfect.

Well that makes me feel better, but as I started talking when the music was winding down there,

I'm like, ooh, I'm a little bit nervous.

I don't know if I can do this like I always do but apparently I can.

You can do this.

Okay, good.

I believe in you.

Good, thanks man.

That's wonderful.

So number 400, we are here to talk about season 9 episode 3. But before we do that let's just take a really quick review

of the season 9 ratings one of the nice things about recording on Tuesday nights

is usually the ratings for the episode are available which they aren't by

Monday night. Right. So really quick season 9 episode 1 had 6.08 million

season or episode 2 had 4.95, which was very, very low. But season 3 went up a tiny bit with 5.04.
