We're back! It's distraction. I'm rude! That's rough. How you doing Roth?

I'm good. For some reason that one is like our one thousandth time that we've started

the podcast with you doing that and I jumped that time.

You know why? I'm just I'm so fired up. It's turning time. It's spring. Like there are I see

actual like leaf buds on the trees and I was I was telling our guest I was like

like because I grew up in the Midwest and because I went to college in the northeast like in New England and then spend a lot of New York,

like March is always a lie, right?

March is like, okay.

Like, it's like, oh, it's nice one day,

and it's like, oh, maybe it'll stay this way.

And then the next day, it's like,

no, it's like, you're getting a fucking blizzard,

yeah, like, you know, so, but you know, I live in a bit more temperate area.

And so when March comes here and like spring comes in March in Maryland, like you get actual spring. Like you get cherry blossoms and stuff and I'm, so I'm wondering around all the flowers yesterday and I'm like I'm like is it gonna it's gonna stay

this way I keep waiting for the other shoe to drop and I just get hit with

fucking sleet for no reason at all that does not happen yet so I'm very yeah

I've been fooled for the 40 odd straight year by that but you know it's

different now as you said it is March we're in one we're in one shining moment together and to that end before we bring on our

I guess I do want to note that when the weather's nice I think we don't I

think we can spare each other the global warming jokes from now on like I think I think that's been done where it's like it's like it's nice out and then people are like yeah, thanks to big oil and I'm like yeah I know i know the deal like it's i know we're all

gonna die well chill out let me enjoy the 70 degree day all right and fine with that

i'm just never gonna stop thanking big Oil for all the stuff that they've brought to our lives.
