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 595 recorded on Tuesday, September the 13th, 2022. Welcome to the program, everybody,

true. But yeah, it doesn't make any sense. It is pretty wild. Matt in Lyndon Walden, New
