Hey guys, it's Si, and the reason you are here in my voice first today is because Chad,

well he's running a little bit late and hey, Bales, we have a schedule that he needs to keep.

And we can't go messing with his dainty little schedule, so we're going to do the intro right now,

Sans Chad.

Three important pieces of information you guys need to know.

One, if this is the first episode you're ever hearing, head on back to episode one, start there.

You can be in on all our inside jokes and this is an current event podcast. You can listen to

his older episodes as you want and it'll all make sense. Two, Uncle Ronnie X coming through

in a big way. A lot of t-shirts went out the window this week. Hey, Bales, if you are somebody who

still wants one and you're one of these heroes who's not on social media and can't find the link,

it is officially middle of somewherepodcast.com. And three, and most importantly, today we have a guest.

It is a first for us, our first ever guest episode. And what Chad and I wanted to do is we're

going to have guests on from time to time, but we didn't want just a rotating cast of comedians.

We wanted people who were our actual human friends that we've known for a long time and could

contribute stories that we are either a part of or are interesting to us. Now sometimes they will

be comedians and sometimes they won't. It just so happens that this first one is a comedian. His

name is Nate Abshire. Chad and I have both known him for years and years and years and we both

love him and we think you guys are also going to love him. So enjoy the show Chad. Oh Chad just

walked in. Is there anything you would like to add Chad? Oh, I'm Chad. So I just wanted to say

before the show, how much you mean to me and how much I respect you as a performer and a person

and a family man. I love you. I'm Chad. Wow, that was actually really nice. Why can't you do that

at the end of the show whenever I ask? It's just really hard for me to process my emotions
