Well, I didn't know it was going to get this far, but apparently we have reached episode 100 of the

Victor Prep Vocal Podcast.

This is Sam F and yes in honor of this auspicious occasion. I'm going to release a special

bonus podcast with a poem on it and it's such a long poem that

it had to be a separate podcast it's going to be a basically almost a 10 minute

poem so that's going to be published about the same time as this podcast. So all those who

are interested in listening to that can do. Those who just want to know the words can do so, that's fine too.

So before we get started, I just want to review the words from yesterday,

so episode 99. So we had Quarryless, Zellet, Mendicant, and Cosette. So, Quarryless means complaining in a petulant or whining manner being peevish or

techie or irritable. Zealot, a zealot is a person who is fanatical, they're an extremist, they're uncompromising in their pursuit of some religious goal or ideal or political ideal.

Mandicant, that is a person given to begging, or it can be a noun as well as an adjective and it just

means a beggar.

And our final word from last time was, Cosset.

And to Cosset someone means to care for

and protect them in a very pampering way

to be overindulgent to coddle someone.

All right, so those were our words from yesterday.

And I'm going to start today with a very short quote because I don't want to do something long because I've got this other podcast bonus episode with a long poem

But I want to start off today's podcast with a little quote from my first love which is

Gerrit Tolkin and yeah I fell in love with his books when I was 8 or 9, I think, and they've always been with me ever since.

Every country I've lived in and place I've been, I always have my copy of the Hobbit and Lord of the Rings and the similarly and and I will always keep reading them and rereading them so here's a short quote from talking.

It's a dangerous business, Frodo,
