Welcome to the Universal Joint Podcast. I'm Entertain to writer Jim Hill and my co-host

Dustin Fuse and I are recording this podcast on Wednesday, April 29th, which I don't

know about you, Dustin, but I'm having a very strong sense of deja vu?

Yeah, it seems like just yesterday.

Well, it was a week ago, folks, to explain, we recorded a brand new universal joint back on April 22nd and this was

entering the editing process Nancy was cutting and slashing trying to eliminate the

1200 alms that I say per show. But then this whole

trolls world tour AMC theaters battle started to break and this is where I had to put it on my big boy pants and contact Dustin and basically tell him look

We need to re-record the news portion of last week's show the irony is just in the hour before Dustin and I sat down to record this this afternoon.

You know there have been even more complications to this story which we'll get to in a moment but

It just didn't make sense to go out with the original version of that episode.

So apologize in advance, but this week's universal joint is going to be something of a

Frankenstein's monster, which given that he's a classic universal monster that that's kind of appropriate.

Exactly. But the news portion of the show is being recorded on April 29th

where the feature portion was recorded years ago on April 22nd.

I apologize on Dustin's behalf just in case there's kind of a disconnect between these two sections of the show but they were literally recorded a week apart.

So also just given that we're just endlessly hammered with COVID-19 related news, I wanted to start the show off by reminding folks, look, it's not always

going to be like this. At some point, very far down the road, things will start to get back to

normal, which is why I find myself doing a very

unmaskillan thing earlier this week Dustin I was online looking at the

Hallmark keepsakesake's Dreambook?

You were with this thing?
