Hi, this is Rachel McElroy.

Hello, this is Griffin McElroy.

And this is wonderful.

Welcome to the wonderful spa.

We've created such a relaxing environment for you here today.

I feel like you're at half speed right now.

Yeah.

Yeah, no, you do, it's an efficiency thing because if you talk at half speed when people listen to podcasts at double speed, which is sort of the default for everyone, according to podcasts monthly, then it comes out as normal.

But it's so relaxing in here.

We have a candle lit, you guys.

A poetry corner candle, no less.

We have a legit poetry corner candle that I've been slow burning for a long, long time now.

I can't smell that more than the food that you had in here.

Yeah, so my candle usage is always pretty pragmatic, which is to say I left a plate in here

that I had lunch on yesterday yesterday and that lunch happened to include

a few pretty sweaty garlic knots. And then I came up to my office this morning and it was,

well, while I was here, I was family because it was like living inside of an olive garden.

Can I ask you something? This is, this is going to really

tap into your West Virginia expertise. Yeah. If I took a garlic knot. Yeah. Put pepperoni inside.

Sure. Is it a pepperoni roll? No. You don't usually have a lot of chopped garlic on the top of a

pepperoni roll. Okay, would it be a garlic pepperoni roll? I guess so, but

pepperoni already has so much stuff in it. Why are you shooting the can in doors? I don't know.
