Hi, it's Hannah Burner and Des Bishop.

Thanks for calling the burner phone.

If you leave a message after the tone, we may have to make it into a podcast.

Hello, little dialers, it's Des again.

And yes, I'm on my own.

And I'm aware, I know I can feel your disappointment.

Trust me.

I'm just as disappointed as you.

I myself have self-esteem issues.

I don't feel like I'm enough to keep you guys happy.

But I promise you that Hannah will be back next week and I'll do my best.

Right. And of course, you guys are carrying the load because there was a great prompt that came in

from a dialer that we went for this week, which Hannah and I both chose, by the way, which was

something that's not illegal

that should be. And the responses were incredible. Honestly, they were so incredible that when

Hannah comes back next week, I think we'll still be talking about this topic. And you came through

big time. And to whoever the serial messenger was, I got the message. So this episode is going to be

doubly annoying for you because somebody kept messaging in, men should be illegal but aren't,

like at least 10 times. And that was quite a commitment to your joke, and it has been received.

So I apologize that I am illegally doing this on my own, according to your rule.

So I'm sorry, but here we are.

And I think we've established enough of a family relationship that we will get through this together.
