This is the Talking Dead, a podcast dedicated to the AMC my name is Chris and my name is. And this is the Talking Dead number 682 recorded on September 9th, 2024.

Jason, I'm going to do something unusual here and start with a quick phone call from a listener.

Hi Chris and Jason this is Bianca from Manila Philippines. I wanted to wish you a happy

anniversary forget what year it is 13th, the September 9th so I hope you guys have a good weekend and have a good podcast episode.

We will hear more from Bianca later in the episode, but she wanted to wish us a happy birthday.

Longtime listener Matt in Lindenwald, New Jersey also wrote in,

Oh my God, you guys are 15 years old.

You're growing up so quickly.

It seems just like yesterday yesterday you reached double digits.

Oh my God. Okay so two things. Yes. The ninth is the day? Today is the day.

So it's and it's been 15 years? 15 we are a 15th birthday is today. You're

telling me the next year the podcast can drive. Next year the podcast can drive. Soon after that it can drink. My God man.

Holy crap. 15. Not like 13. No. But 15. Bianca said 13, which I'm surprised because if there's one person that I can always

count on to remind me about the podcast birthday, it's her, but we're actually at 15 not 13 Matt got it right 2009 to

2024. Holy shit it's crazy isn't it but thank you to you guys for pointing that out and congratulations

Jason on turning 15. Well congratulations to you time does fly doesn't it does

it ever.

Time flies like the wind.

That was right around the time that you stripped out everything in your basement

and dug down a couple inches.

So you remember where your basement was like just a big hole? Yeah, we we renovated this

basement in 2010 you know right after it was early 2010 too. So we had, what did we do? We recorded, because you used to come over here, so we recorded in this basement, then we renovated the basement. I think we may have actually recorded in the stripped out basement once or twice.
