Oh, hey there. It's Kristen. All by myself can do whatever I want. And what I want is to do an

intro for you because there's some things you should know. First of all, we are almost to the month

of May. And as they say, April showers bring May season two finale in two parts. It's a clunky saying, but you know, I'm not the one who made it up.

Becoming Part 1 is going to be going live next week. And yes, we do have a special guest. And yes, his name is Rishi Kesh Hereway. We are so excited to share with you our conversation with Rishi on Becoming

Part 1. And the week after that, we are going to be airing Becoming Part 2. Also, you should

probably have a heads up that there will be a show announcement in one of those episodes,

probably the first one, but you know, we like to keep you guessing.

So stay tuned for that. And last but certainly not least, we have some new merch.

If you missed it, we have a travel mug now, a coffee cup. A coffee mug, tea. You can put whatever

you want in it, honestly. But, you know, it's insulated. It can go in your little car cup holder.

And it says, smash the demon lizard patriarchy.

And actually, just today, I was wearing my Smash the Demon Lizard Patriarchy sweatshirt in a coffee shop.

And I got complimented on it.

So if you want compliments like me, you can buy yourself one of our new coffee mugs.

We also have our UFO X-Files logo on a T-shirt for the first time. We've done it in a pullover and we've done it in a tank. First time that it's in T-shirt form in the store. And our logo hat is back in denim. It was the, I think, original color choice that we did for the hat. And it's my favorite. I've wanted it back for a very long time. And it's back in the store now. No better time if you are entering spring and summer. Keep the sun out of your eyes. And also let everyone know that you love vampires and their slayers.

Bufferingcast.com. Just click on shop for all of that. Plus all of our regular merchandise just keep

fighting. Pay Buffy Summers. The Yowler Cat, if you're a fan. Now I'm going to stop talking so you can listen to a Watchers diary.

Again, becoming part one coming your way next week. And if you're a fan. And now I'm going to stop talking so you can listen to a Watcher's diary. Again, becoming part one coming your way next week.

And if you're listening to The X-Files in our Beyond Buffering feed,

we're going to be covering the list also next week on Thursday in the Beyond Buffering feed.

Oh. Hello, and welcome back to buffering the vampire slayer colon once more with spoilers.
