This is the Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to. And this is the Talking Dead.

Episode.

My name is Jason.

And my name is Chris.

And this is the Talking Dead. Episode number 405 recorded this fine

Thursday, November 8th, 2018.

It is indeed a fine Thursday, my friend. I don't know why. It was sort of nice out today sort of not really not really

or as my old bandmate Julia used to say it's the day of Thursday it sure is. My street has been closed because they are doing something to the fire hydrants along the street, so they've been turning the water off and not letting cars drive down the street. So it's been sort of annoying, but other than that, I guess things are going okay. We are a few days into the post- Rick Grimes era.

Well, not really, but on the show for now yes I mean it's it is yeah it's

the post Rick Grimes on the Walking Dead era so we're all going to have to get

used to that and we have lots and lots of feedback about it

and about the episode and about that in particular to get through.

So before we jump into that, let's take a look at how many people watched Rick Grimes last episode on The Walking Dead.

Do you want to take a shot Jason take a stab in the dark?

Oh, 6.4 million.

No, but that's not a crazy, crazy guess. I was thinking, to be honest, that it might be up above 6 million this week.

Sadly, it was not. It was at 5.41 which is which is just up 300,000

from the week before so it's really holding steady.

It'll get up there it'll go back you'll come back in the next episode. It's like, wow, I got rid of grit of grit. I should,

Rick, we should really check that out. I love grit Grimes.

Grit Grimes. Great Grimes. Yeah. It's better name actually.

It's not bad.
