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 568 recorded on Monday, February the 21st, 2022. Welcome to the program, everyone.

Welcome back and to everyone and to you, Jason. I'm excited to be here because Walking

Dead is back, and we got a big new episode to talk about.

I feel like, yeah, and thank you, Chris. Welcome back to you as well. I was happy to

watch this episode this afternoon when I ended up watching it. It felt like running into

the embrace of an old trusted friend. It did. It was really nice. That's nice. I don't

know what it is, but it feels like it's been off for longer than usual, and it hasn't

really. I don't think this hiatus was any longer than a normal hiatus, but I guess a

lot has happened since, you know, episode eight, and now we're at an episode nine. And

time has no meaning, Chris. So we're, you know, we're still pretty much dislodged from

time. We just got used to it over the last couple of two years, two fucking years of

this shit. I just kind of got used to it now, but we're still dislodged from time.

I guess that is it. It just feels like a long time. And, you know, it could also be that

we didn't really record quite as much you and I anyways during this hiatus. Part of

that was because I was recording every week about the book of Boba Fett over on podcast

ica, which was fun. But it meant we took a little, you know, more time off than usual.

So I think what I'm, I'm just missing you more than anything than, and, but we're back

and we're going full steam ahead now. You're the old trusted friend. I think of when

I say I run into the embrace of very nice, very nice. Well, welcome to everyone back

to the podcast. And if you weren't listening over the break, I, I hope you're back, delighted
