Hey, everybody, welcome to don't make me come Back There. We're a funny podcast about family.

My name is Dustin Nickerson. I'm a stand-in comedian, the host of the aforementioned podcast, alongside me in our state-of-the-art recording studio, about Public Square Coffee in downtown La Mesa, California.

All right, is my lovely wife, my co-host,

my CFO, local art teacher,

my best friend, Melissa Ruth Nickerson.

Good to see you, Melissa.

Hi.

We've got a heck of an episode ahead of us, everybody.

Should I start the clock? I forgot. It's all right I mean can so do you want me to what do you want to start it or no sure I got an idea on the time don't

worry about it I I got it so Mel's just in yellow I got this word we're here to go Andy's here

good to see you Andy hi uh we got a heck of an episode

guys we are going to do a little weekend recap

but mostly we're going to do Melissa's weekend recap

because uh if Mel if I look like a little tired

it's because I woke up in Oakland today

uh like five-ish I flew in

we came straight here Mel has had just

the weekend of weekends. I mean, since we recorded during our episode seven days ago, my week

started. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. And it's not over. And Mel was just telling us how much she loves when someone says, look on the bright side. Mel loves a silver lining.

No. No, I don't.

So if Mel seems a little strung out, a little at her wits end, you know, it's the, after you hear the context of this episode, it will make a lot of sense.

So anyways, before we get into that, everyone, wherever you're listening, please, you know, like, subscribe.
