Hello, everyone.

Welcome to the podcast.

My name is Jason. And this is the Talking Dead number 718 recorded on August the 14th, 2025.

It's Thursday. It's weird. Nope. No? It's weird. Well, no, I'm rejecting the date.

Oh, well, I think it's right. You just started and now it's almost over. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it's,

it's flying by.

We're still in the dog days of summer, though, so we got a bit of time to go.

Yeah, everybody's a little punchy around the house.

Are they?

Just emotionally, yeah.

I know why.

You know, I know why in your house because you're about to go on vacation.

So it's, you're on the last couple days of work.

You got to get ready. You got to get Jasper ready.

You got, you need to be organized.

You're going to see family members. So that's always a fun time. And, and you're going to be sleeping on a cot and a tent for nearly two weeks. I understand. At least I have a cot. I'm looking forward to the actual cot. I was on an air mattress last year, and I did not like that.

I don't like feeling like I'm sleeping on a cloud.

I would rather sleep on the floor than sleep on an air mattress. How come only you get the caught and the rest of the family has to sleep on the ground? Because they like the, well, they like the air mattress that they have. So they say. That's what they, well, we had a, we had a discussion about it.

I'm like, I'm not sleeping on the ground anymore.

I'm buying a cot.
