This is The Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to the AMC TV show The Walking Dead.

Hello everyone and welcome to the podcast. My name is Chris and my name is Jason and this is episode number 644 recorded on Wednesday October 11th, 2023.

How are you Jason?

I'm tired, but okay, still have a cough, still have a cold as lingering. It's a pain in the butt, but other than that, hunky and ord, Dory.

Well, that's not too bad. I mean, I'm glad you feel a little bit better, but I've heard of other people as I was saying earlier before we were recording that got sick and then the cough just lasted for weeks.

So I'm not surprised you're still coughing a bit. Hopefully you're not doing too poorly, not not so poorly. No.

Okay, well that is good. So it's Wednesday night. It's not Monday night. I don't know if you noticed. I did, yeah.

We are recording a couple of days late. So after all of that talk about episodes being late in the feed and the feed being slow and delayed and things like that this week.

It's not the feed's fault this week. It's my fault. It's my fault. Okay, it's your fault. I was going to say hour, but you know, I mean, that's okay. I mean, we had Thanksgiving on Monday. We couldn't record.

And I had to work. So yeah, Thanksgiving and then Monday night I sat down and said, you know, I was planning on doing a little bit of work puttering over the weekend. Yeah.

And I sat down on early Sunday evening and then realized how much work I had to do before Monday morning.

My nine or sorry Tuesday morning and my nine AM call. So I message you saying, Chris, I can't do it. When can we do it later?

And you with graciously said not tomorrow, but Wednesday. That's exactly how we talk when we're not on the air. Yeah.

Yeah. Well, when chatting with you online via text message, I just assume we're both whiny all the time. All the time. All the time. It's very, very true.

We have to really dial down the whininess when we get on here for real, right? You dial down a little bit. Yeah. A little bit, right?

Not the complaining in the morning and the bitching, but the whining. We tone down the whining. That's the most annoying part. You don't want the constant whining. Yeah.

All right. Well, sorry about that, everyone. It's Wednesday. We're here to talk about the latest episode of the Darryl Dixon show, of course. And I think there's lots to go over with this episode number five.

But first, we're going to do a little bit of listener feedback. So let's dive into that right now.

Listen to our feedback. All righty. We have one call to start us off. And that comes from Steph.

Guys, this is Steph from North Hampton, Massachusetts. I am calling kind of just to give my two cents about the new Darryl Dixon series.

I started watching it. And I am having a really hard time getting locked in and focusing on it. I know things at times seem to be moving really fast.

And there's a lot of new characters, which is to be expected. But I was kind of trying to think about why is it so hard for me to get into it so much. And I started thinking about how invested I am in the show.
