Hi everybody, it's Jake. We are in San Francisco. My mother is here to help her mother.

I will say no more. It's a private personal matter, but we are here as a family and we're having the best time.

The reason I'm telling you about it is because when we started this episode, we planned on covering the Epstein files and the Texas floods and the Mecca Hitler, Grock,

which we do get to in this episode.

But as we started recording, my mother started talking to her mother, who was off screen

and didn't want to be on camera.

And it was just such a lovely back and forth that I decided just to let it flow.

So it's different than our usual podcasts.

We get to the good stuff at the end, but I think you'll like it.

It's a rare look into someone's life. And I know you're all big fans of my

mother and I just think it's beautiful. So I'm going to pretty much air this unedited. Like I said,

we do get into the news and the good stuff later on in the episode, but, you know, I think you'll enjoy it so anyway I just

wanted to tell you because you were gonna watch it and go when's the show gonna

start or they even do they even know they're taping and yeah we knew we were

taping and we had a good time so my bubby is talking a lot in this episode and she

is off camera so I apologize for the low audio levels

I do my best to bring you guys good quality it's not easy I have trouble every week

because my mother's shall we say vocal range is difficult to edit around but but anyway, enjoy.

I love you guys.

Thank you so much for your support.

We've been doing this for a little over a year,

and you guys have been wonderful through the ups and the downs,
