2025.10.06: Take Us Back To 2025

You're gonna tell me everything right now.

No, please, no, please, no, please, no, please, no.

Hey!

We're recording the podcast!

Gut up!

Good morning to you, wherever you are, because it is MORNING SAPREA!

For October 6th, 2025, still got it.

My name is Hernie Burns.

I'm sitting right over there.

She's so impressed by the timing of my post.

It's actually Sad Ash, everybody.

Look, timing is everything.

You don't want to be too early.

You don't want to be too late.

Well, timing is an interesting topic.

We've been gone for a week.

Did you miss us?

We missed you.

We missed you so much.

We kind of didn't miss you that much.

Well, it was a bit of a significant thing.

Hopefully, you didn't miss us too much either.

But it was nice.

I'm feeling good.

I'm feeling ready to talk about all the dumbest shit happened in the world.

Has some housekeeping to do.

Do you mind if I do?

Because quite frankly.

You're impressed by this one.

I'm very impressed by this.

So the first little drop contest that we did was Pretty Woman.

Everybody got it immediately, right?

Then I thought, okay, let's just test the waters here.

We'll do one that's impossible.

I'll put it out there.

No one will get this one.

And then we'll find the middle ground between the two.

Somebody got the impossible one.

Roxopia on the Rushi Heath website somehow got this drop.

Listen to this.

Here's the drop that we played.

I think it was the Friday before we left for vacation.

Don't get it twisted.

That was the drop.

Okay.

That was the drop.

They were able to find that in an Instagram post by Kyla Cobbler Comedy on Instagram.

That's where that comes from.

Here is the actual Instagram reel where that drop is contained.

Every time I wear makeup, people are like, oh my God, Kyla, the makeup girl.

And I'm like, I know.

Oh, I can do it.

Don't get it twisted.

I can do it.

I just choose not to.

Because I like to keep people on their toes.

Is she a gremlin that lives in the attic and feeds off old cut grass?

Or is she an absolute hottie with a great sense of humor and a savage hoop?

I'm both, bitch.

Never forget, I'm both.

So, shout out to Roxopia.

I don't know how they found that in that Instagram reel, but they found it, went out and found it.

So, congratulations.

You were the winner of last week's contest.

I'll probably do another one tomorrow, probably.

Get everyone prepared, right?

Everyone has to have not everyone.

Listen, we get it.

There's some lollyaggers out there that haven't made a roosterteeth.com account yet.

So, you have 24 hours until the next one.

And look, you got to find like the right drop, too, right?

It's got to be like the right drop.

It matters.

And I get it.

It's 2025.

You're thinking, why would I want to go to a dot-com site to make an account?

Why would I do that?

Where the fuck do you think the t-shirts are, bitch?

That's all I gotta say.

You know what else I love about this lady's Instagram is like, I don't know half of what she's talking about.

What's a savage hoop?

Well, apparently.

Is she really good at like basketball?

Is it like, is it something?

Is this an obscene thing?

I don't know what that slang is.

Really, Irish slang, savage hoop, means a great ass.

But it's been a crazy week while we've been gone.

There's been a lot of things going on in the world because there's always lots of things going on in the world.

Taylor Swift released a new album.

I mean, the broke sales records with it.

Yeah, it's well, it seems like every time that she's got an album come out, she breaks the record that she had with the last album.

So the first 24 hours this new album was out, it was The Life of a Showgirl.

2.7 million copies sold in the first 24 hours.

Is that a sales record?

2.7 million copies?

It's a modern sales record.

It actually,

yeah.

What does that mean?

Yeah, that means in the last 10 years, apparently Adele's 25 album sold 3.3 million copies in its first 24 hours.

But it's still, you know, look, 2.7 million copies, nothing to sneeze at.

Does that include digital copies as well?

Yeah, that's physical and digital.

So yeah, so that you would think the records would go up and up and up.

I also

nobody has to leave their goddamn house to get this record.

Right, but I also assume that the landscape has changed a little bit.

She's probably rocking it on like Spotify, right?

Like topping all the charts for everything

with streaming.

Whereas when 25 came out, people might have bought albums more.

No, yeah.

Yeah.

No, it's true.

This is the post-Napster world that we live in, right?

Yeah, but also she's, I guess, setting records specifically for vinyl, like for selling more vinyls than anyone ever in the first 24 hours.

Ed would talk about, of the Bare Naked Ladies, would talk about the difference in a number one single, pre-Napster and post-Napster, or pre-file sharing.

And I imagine that those are very different numbers.

Incredibly different.

Incredibly different.

And yeah.

And then also it's like what people don't realize too is that, you know, one of the most lucrative things you can do in all of music is write a theme song to a very popular thing like the goddamn Big Bang Theory.

Yes.

You know?

Yeah.

And it's like, that'll get you, that'll get you paid for a very long time.

Oh my God.

Crazy.

Crazy, crazy.

Yeah.

And they even play that at shows now, the Big Bang Theory one.

They have a whole extended version of that song, which is great.

And it's like,

you want to hear the extended version because the thing is, it's a really fun song.

And so, of course, you want to hear more of the fun song.

So I bet they would also do great on vinyl, break all the record.

I have such a strange relationship with that show because every time we would go into like a Hollywood meeting and they would hear that we're like web guys and we were from the web and doing web stuff.

They would constantly say to us, Oh, you guys must love the Big Bang.

We love the Big Bang thing.

Yeah, but we don't like that goddamn show.

No, but that is like, that's the, it's like the show that like all the studio heads were convinced that nerds would watch.

It's educational.

Expansion started waiting until the earth began to cool.

The autotrophs began to drew me and with all developed dudes, we built a wall.

We built a paradigm.

So, should we play some Taylor Swift?

Should we have Ed

and the Irish comedian?

I'll battle it out for our no ad money today.

Let me see.

Taylor Swift, is this going to be on Spotify already?

Are they going to hold it back?

Let me look this up.

I'm sure it would be on Spotify.

Oh, someone corrected us about a couple different things.

Apparently,

we should talk about this.

Inger,

uh everyone is saying that they left because and we were one of them saying they left the uk because of the age verification stuff no they were being fined because they mishandled the data of minors oh which is kind of all from the same vector but i think it's an important difference and so i wanted to point that out no no no that's fair uh that's that's definitely like in the same overall category.

It's the like protect the kids, data privacy,

all that sort of stuff.

But it is a distinction.

Also, this is way lower stakes.

I said that Superman was not out on UHD physical yet.

It's not out here in the UK.

So it is out here in the U.S.

So you can go out and get your high-def Superman if you want.

So what am I looking at?

Life of a Showgirl.

Yeah, you're looking up Life of a Showgirl, and it is on Spotify.

What should I play off of Life is a Showgirl?

Life is a Showgirl or Life?

Life of a Showgirl.

Life is a Showgirl.

It looks like the Fate of Affiliate is the first one that's, I think, got a music for now.

Oh, God, I was going to read that as the fate of opinion.

I need to get my fucking

eyes checked.

Hold on one second.

Here we go.

Here is Taylor Swift's The Fate of Ophelia.

So far, 50 million plays on Spotify.

I have no idea where to begin playing the songs, I'm just right at the start.

Just, yeah, just getting there.

I heard you calling

on the megaphone.

You wanna see me all alone?

As legend has it, you are quite the pyro.

You light the match to watch it low.

You know, what's interesting about this song is: first of all, I like it, but second of all, it's weirdly, and I don't know that she'd appreciate this comparison, but it gives me kind of like Lana Del Rey vibes.

Oh, okay, that's fair.

And maybe it's the reverb, like the amount of like echo in it that makes it sound a little bit like, you know, a little haunting,

which I know is like a vocal trick, but I also love it.

What's your old-time favorite Taylor Swift song?

Let's have one.

Oh, I mean, off the top of my head, I like Shake It Off just because it's infectiously fun.

Me too.

Shake It Off.

If I had to play someone a Taylor Swift song in order to get them into Taylor Swift, I would play Shake It Off as well.

Because it's just fun.

It is fun.

It's just a nice time.

And it's a body.

It's a really fun song.

Here is Shake It Off from 1989.

Great video, too.

I'll stay out too late.

There's a guy

in the video that she has like all these dancers in.

And there's a guy that does a dance and it makes her like break and laugh.

Dude, that would be bragging rights for the rest of your life.

For the rest of your life.

For your damn life, man.

For the rest of your life.

Like, I made Taylor Swift giggle while we were shooting that video together.

you know hannah was in a video of uh taylor swift yes uh that was the um the like uh why are you being so loud one yeah what i don't remember what the name of the song is but yeah i do remember that video and uh that was really exciting when she was in it

bad blood what is that one

uh

anyway

but uh i there was one i think it's blank space what's the one that's uh Say you'll remember me.

You need to calm down.

You need to calm down.

Say you'll remember me

standing in an ice dress, staring at the sunset.

And you heard it was standing in an ice chest.

I literally, I literally thought she was saying, standing in an ice chest.

Say you'll remember me standing in an ice chest, staring at the sunset.

I thought, who's not going to remember the girl that was standing in the goddamn?

Trust me, everyone's going to remember the girl who is standing in the ice chest.

No, there's a lot of lyrics that I misunderstand.

Like, what's the

smack my bitch up lyric?

I always, I always, always heard it as as my prodigy, as yeah, as take my picture.

I always heard it as take my picture.

And now that I know that it's like instead, like really mean instead of like, I don't know, you know, cool.

I gotta say, though, Ash, it might have been take my picture where you grew up in your market because I ran into something.

Here's a Prodigy's Smack My Bitch Up.

It's got a great beginning, too.

This episode's never getting to YouTube.

Yeah, fuck YouTube.

Who cares?

I mean, this is literally fair use.

We're talking about the music playing small short clips from it.

This is totally fine, but

very topical for this week.

The computers don't allow it, Ashley.

We're not allowed it.

That's a great song.

Great song.

Weird lyric, though.

Weird to say, what's your favorite song?

Smack my bitch up.

No, but yeah, Utah, where you grew up.

I ran into something that was very strange the first time I visited Utah.

Ironically, it was to attend the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, which is also no longer in Park City, Utah.

Do you find it interesting, quick tangent, that Robert Redford died?

Aren't we on like our third tangent?

Robert Redford died literally as soon as they announced, pretty much, that Sundance was leaving Park City.

Maybe he was like, you know what?

Without Park City, what is life anymore?

The other part of that is...

Like Robert Redford, had Robert Redford died like 10 years ago, I feel like it would have been like one of the biggest stories ever.

And I feel like we didn't even mention it on this podcast.

There's just so much crazy stuff going on right now.

And also, I mean, I might have been a little bit sidetracked by bears.

It's possible.

Possible.

Oh, you want to announce the winner of the bear contest?

Yeah, well, I kind of, I'm mad about it.

So, yeah,

we have an ultimate fat bear, and it's chunk who is a, I know he's a, he's a fan favorite, uh, and he managed to work through a broken jaw this year and still get fattest bear.

But I don't know, I just have trouble voting in a child murderer.

How'd he break the jaw?

No idea.

It was broken off camera.

How do you know that a bear has a broken jaw?

Apparently they're like off kilter a little bit.

So they're like, they're like, yeah, they're like, just they're not working quite right.

So he broke a jaw somehow, but has healed up, worked through it, and got fat.

Occasionally.

Dude, Grazer wasn't even in the semifinal.

She got taken out immediately.

That was a real upset.

And her kids.

It probably was like an anti, you know, Nepo baby thing, right?

They didn't like the legacy stuff.

stuff i get it i get it we're all sick of it but uh occasionally actually i i am remiss to say things that will put ideas in other people's heads like recently i said that the way you fall asleep is by pretending to be asleep and i think about that when i fall asleep and someone told me that at some point

one time when i was in probably middle school a friend of mine's father had to go to the hospital.

I think about this all the time.

He had to go to the drive himself to the emergency room because he dislocated his jaw, got it completely off the hinge, basically, and to the side by yawning.

He yawned too big and his jaw just went off to the side.

And then he couldn't imagine this.

Like unhooked.

Couldn't close his mouth, like had no control then over his ability to close his own mouth.

And had to drive the hospital with his mouth wide open.

And that he was about a block away from the emergency room and it just popped and it went back in place.

And

single time I yawn, I think about that now.

You're doing it.

She's holding her jaw and she's like slowly opening and closing her jaw.

Here's why I'm now thinking about it is because do you ever have something that you don't notice until someone tells you about it and then you notice it all the time?

When we went to the dentist recently, the dentist was doing a checkup and like checking and things, you know, they're like, open your mouth, and she goes, oh, you've got a little click on the one side, like your jaw has a, has a click on the left side.

And I was like, it does.

And now I'm opening my mouth and going,

I can feel the click now.

I didn't notice the click.

It was an invisible click.

And now I've got just a little, uh, now when I open it.

Here's the deal.

Let me, let me talk to our audience for a second.

Those of you in our audience who run medical training facilities, like medical schools or just general like medic training, because I know that there's somebody out there who has to be doing that, like the dean of a med school, I'm sure listens to this podcast.

Tell your students who are training to be doctors and nurses and caregivers, tell them don't make offhand comments.

don't give us information don't make observations about our bodies out loud if you're not gonna do anything about it right right can you fix the click now it's in your head like you didn't know about the click and now you're living

can we fix the jaw click yeah like am i about to dislocate by yawning what's gonna happen i'm gonna be like i think about it all the time now it's ridiculous so backing that up we're backing zoop up to utah so back to utah thank you where our tangents are like the conspiracy theory with all the red strings on it everything like that

So when I went to Utah for the first time, I saw something I had never seen anywhere else and it mortified me when I saw it, which was video stores like Blockbuster, but independent video stores that sold edited versions of the movies, like clean versions of the movies.

For instance, if you wanted to go see, I don't know, like The Godfather, they would edit out the profanities and the drinking and the violence out of the movie, and then you could rent the clean version of that movie from that.

I'm assuming it's a Mormon thing.

That might be a big assumption on my part.

It absolutely is.

And I was more like, I was like, even like, how do they get away with doing this?

You know, I mean, look at us today.

We get, we'll get pinged like 15 times for playing clips of modern music.

Yeah, there was a, but they're like making money and selling or renting.

edited versions of someone else's movie.

Yeah, I'm actually, I'm not sure.

I don't know that they operate anymore.

I think they might have got sued into oblivion.

But yeah, it was a company called Clean Flicks and they would take movies, they would edit out all the objectionable objectionable parts of the movies, you know, almost like those like edited for TV, except they don't care about the plot, they just care about the sin.

And so like all the sinning would be gone and you would have no idea what's happening in the movie, but now you can watch the movie, you know, guilt-free, I guess.

And so they had.

Gen Z that could make a comeback.

It's pretty good.

It could, honestly.

I mean, really good.

Really good.

That's not a disparaging comment.

I mean, there's a market for that.

now I think.

Oh, here we go.

Yeah.

This is, according to Wikipedia, a group of major film studios sued CleanFlix in 2002, arguing their service constituted copyright infringement.

And then a 2006 court ruling closed the company.

They reopened in 2007

with a website called Movies You Can Trust, which then also shut down January 2013.

I like when somebody takes...

You take like a benevolent word like trust, and then you use it in a context that feels so fucking dark, you know?

Yeah.

Like that, I don't know why.

That feels really dark to me, even though they're doing something.

It's like cleaning up the movie.

I don't know.

It's like it's trust used in the context of censorship feels really weird.

The big one, obviously, these days is the word truth, right?

Which we're like leading, all these roads are like leading to the Sora thing from last week.

But yeah, I was amazed when I went there and saw this that you could get these like cleaned up versions of the movie.

Well, I mean, don't forget as well that Utah was the home of bubble porn.

Oh, right, right.

Which is also very like,

we've talked about bubble porn before, right?

You can go look this up.

It's not actually pornography, but it kind of is.

It's almost more violating than pornography.

So it's the practice of, and I don't see it around much, but it's the practice of basically taking, say, a photo of a girl in a bikini and then creating like these bubble images, like...

These circles like create like

it's hard to explain.

It's like a mosaic of circles of the image, but then you sort of blank out all the parts where there are clothes.

Right.

So you're not seeing any more than the image showed you to begin with, but like the absence of clothing to indicate that there's clothing there would get your imagination to fill it in.

In a weird way, it's like your own brain making the porn for you.

Yeah, it's like, it's like your brain makes the sin, basically.

And it's also like the people in the photos, they weren't taking nude photos.

They weren't agreeing to be nude.

They're clothes, just

you make them nude.

It's kind of like when you make a giant platform like YouTube and then you put all of the responsibility of the legality on the users, right?

It's like, it really is kind of the platform's problem, but it's like, no, we're going to put it on you guys since you're the one using it.

That's like bubble porn, basically.

YouTube is bubble porn is what I'm saying.

Is that they make this thing that is intended to make you look at it in a way that makes the people in it seem nude, but they're like, no, they're not nude.

That's in your head.

That's your fault.

Power.

Yeah, that's you're the user.

That's your issue.

Yeah, take that, you just falling on you.

So I gotta say, so this makes me want to talk more about the sword thing as well.

Really quickly, though, before we go, question of the day for everybody out there.

You were talking about like when you see a network version of a movie and they replace a vulgarity with something else.

That used to be a bigger deal when movies would make their way to network television.

Snakes on a plane when Samuel Jackson said, I'm tired of these motherfucking snakes.

And what's it one

of them saying in the clean version?

I don't remember.

That seems like a good thing to have for a future drop is we'll have have the clean version of that.

But I'm curious, what is everyone's favorite version of that?

Like, what's the funniest thing that's ever been said?

Because some of them are absolutely ridiculous.

And I wonder what those people are like who write those lines, who have to go through and say, Okay, look at his lips.

What's it look like?

What could we say that he's saying?

You know, yeah.

It's like the bad lip reading guy, but the job that existed in the 80s for

enough is enough.

I have had it with these monkey-fighting snakes on this Monday to Friday break.

Thanks, YouTube.

Cultural bubble point.

That's all blame YouTube.

It's all because of YouTube and Taylor Swift.

Anyway, so the Sora thing, I do want to talk about this.

So, Sora came out last week.

Maybe the announcement was just as we were going on hiatus, but

I'm watching everyone just react to this.

The Sora 2 app that is now out.

OpenAI has decided to take their text to video engine and turn it basically into a social media platform.

And it's insane

what this can produce.

I was saying earlier last week, I was saying that I spent about an hour on it to research it and look at it.

And after an hour on that app, I went to just normal, like, look at Instagram reels or something like that.

And the effect it had on me going to look at Instagram reels to where I looked every single Instagram reel to me, the real stuff looked fake.

And I was just like, what the fuck is happening?

And I think that's a lot of people's reactions.

Casey Neistat put out a video last week where he talked about, you know, making the video and using the app.

And a lot of people are saying that the reason why OpenAI decided to turn this into a social media app is they can take all the copyright and IP issues that exist with AI.

And now there's a precedent with social media platforms where it's the user's problem.

Where it's the user's problem.

Like, no they made this they made kermit the frog doing something horrible so like takedown on this user as opposed to us the platform it's also so right now the sora 2 app i think is invite only but it's an interesting social media app in that it works a lot like a tick tock or an instagram where you scroll up scroll up scroll up but it also has a really weird element to it where you can scroll sideways and see iterations on a prompt, right?

Like they're not pretending anything in this app is real.

They're celebrating that it's not, but it's really weird going through and seeing iterations and refinements on prompts, like, no, replace this character with Minecraft Steve, right?

Or no, do this, except now do SpongeBob.

Yeah, except now SpongeBob.

And you can just see like almost like the

path of the brain, the path that the thoughts take.

Like take the Black Eyed Peace song, but change the lyrics and make it clean.

So like, for instance, we were talking about iJustine because she was promoting this on Instagram, you know, and we know Justine.

And so, I felt like it was fair to talk about her profile.

Just the efficiency of producing these videos and these concepts on this thing,

it's extraordinarily daunting.

It makes me look at it and go, How do you stop this?

Like, how can you put the brakes on this goddamn thing?

This is iJustine's profile since the app came out.

These are all of her posts.

That's the still loading.

It's a lot of posts

since the app.

It was 250 videos, all different videos uh that she's created using this and it's just like one idea after another i mean just the idea that the concept that she had 250 different ideas in a week to then turn into videos is undo itself interesting like there's nothing there's nothing that gets filtered out right it must be just whatever you know let me try this now let me try this now let me try this it's really fascinating to me really fascinating to me you get the you get the feeling of was it like how paul bunyan would have felt or like that you know once people see the automation of like their thing and like their craft and you just realize that like

it's going to be impossible to keep up with that well the scary stuff in this too is that you could upload your no your own image or I think there's I didn't do it so I don't know I'm not going to research this part of it sorry everybody where you can like scan your face you just spend time with the app putting yourself into the app and then you can make yourself available to everyone else and they can make videos using you and Sam Altman has done this you know what I mean it's another thing like putting himself in his own likeness out there.

He becomes one of the characters essentially of the app, which people are also saying is a defensive move in order to head off any of these IP things.

Like I'm in it everywhere.

Like people use me for whatever.

Obviously, if I thought this was bad or dangerous, I wouldn't put myself in it.

Right.

And even the Casey Neistat video, which is very critical of it, which I think a lot of people are going to be very, very critical of this.

I'm critical of it.

I'm scared of it.

He did a whole video about it, but as a production person, I had to look at it and look at Casey Neistat's videos.

I love all of Casey Neistat's videos.

He's an amazing filmmaker.

What he did with vlogging is amazing.

I was very inspired by what he did when I made my own year-long vlog at one point.

When I looked at it,

in order to talk about Sora, he had to use Sora and had to make videos with it.

And luckily, they do watermark, at least at this point, they watermark the videos that come out of the engine.

But it was amazing for me to look at a Casey Neistat video and knowing, having an idea of how much work goes into one of those videos.

But this video was like little pieces of paper,

you know, that he had torn up and put on his desk and then a can of soup that he opened and things like that.

But then everything else for the content of his video came out of Sora.

And it was being critical of Sora, but I couldn't help but separate the production from the product, you know?

Yeah.

And it's like, yeah, it's like this video was so much easier for him to make because he had the engine to make it.

And it's just like, yeah.

But it was interesting too because he walked around his office talking to people or I think he has like a co-working space.

And other people were just like, they said the thing that always scared the hell out of me with AI stuff is people just putting themselves in videos all day long.

Like they put their own cameo avatar in and then they just sit there making videos of themselves all day long.

And for a lot of people, that's a really compelling thing.

Right.

Cause you just, you get to see yourself in all these situations.

And it's like you play make-believe.

And the thing is, like, it's, it's easy and it's fun and it's harmless, but it's all going to add up to nothing being real anymore.

Like if you look at someone's camera reel today, this is just a normal part of our culture.

And it's important because I first learned about the word because of you.

Selfie culture of taking photos of yourself.

It's amazing that like most of people's photo libraries are their own face.

There was a time where that was definitely not the case.

If you went over to someone's house in the 90s and they had their photo albums on the shelf, if you pulled that photo album down and started looking through it and it was pages and pages of their own face over and over again, you'd be like, I need to get the fuck out of this house right now.

One day.

Right.

Right.

Just and or like, I mean, think about how many books that would be for a camera roll, right?

Like that would be an entire bookshelf of albums of their own face.

You'd be like, what is wrong with this person?

But it's just, it's part of our culture now that most of the photos we take, it seems like at least for a lot of people are photos of their own face i do think that's a generational thing though like i actually don't when's i'm not sure the last time i took a selfie but there was a point in time where i would take a dozen selfies two dozen selfies and then i would get tired and stop but you know i know there's some people who like they have a daily session where like today's this is today's selfie session i'm taking photos of myself today and i'm taking a hundred at a time and we're talking about this like it's not a normal thing what i'm saying is is completely normal today absolutely completely and totally normal.

We remember a time when it was not.

And right now we're living in the time where all this shit is not normal, but there's going to be that line and you're calling it a generational thing.

It's just because generations comes at, came after that point in time.

Yes.

That inflection point.

And we're at that inflection point now.

Everything after this, people are going to be fine with this.

And it's going to be like,

I said this last week as well.

Take stock of the world around you right now because things are so rapidly changing.

and i know that it seems like the world is on fire and everything everything like that and everything's terrible and you're hearing all these horrible things and you know existence is like a constant slog every single day you may not believe this there is going to be a point in time in the next few years where you look back to this era and you wax nostalgic about this you will think man I remember the time before AI.

Like all that, the sweet, innocent past.

Yeah.

And you'll think about it.

Like, what did we lose?

Like, or you'll even say, like, I lived part of my life before AI and then the rest of my life after AI.

Look at that.

You have like millennials who grew up before internet and then had internet.

And we're there now.

We're there now.

So just take stock of the stuff around you.

Like I said, I know everything's on fire, but

you will

think very fondly of this time.

And take me back to 2025.

Imagine saying that at some point.

At least you can be relatively sure that it's a real fire.

Take me back to when everything was happy and normal.

Well, I want to say a big thank you to a couple people who make things happy and normal for us in our real corner of the internet.

And that's Kristen Fernandez and Joseph.

Thank you both so much for sponsoring this episode of our show at patreon.com/slash morning somewhere.

Thank you very much.

Welcome back, everybody.

We're shaking the dust off a little bit here.

We'll get back under 30 minutes again soon, but we'll have a little bit of a long one while we're here.

All right.

Well, talk to you tomorrow, buddy.

I don't even know why I'm sure anymore.
