Hey all, just want to give you a little heads up before you get the meat of this episode.

Barton's microphone seems to have glitched more than we realized when we were recording.

So there are some words he says that you may have a hard time understanding.

He's an opportunity to leave, so his time to record is understandably pretty limited.

And I feel like you can still capture the

spirit of what he's saying, if not the exact word every time. We'll be sure to make sure the

next episode is up to our normal standards. And to be honest, we debated whether we should run

this or not. But we thought the conversation was really good. We hope you'll enjoy it,

and you won't hold it against us. And so with that, I hope you're able to enjoy the conversation.

What's up? Welcome back to the Barton and Bud show.

Barton, Simmons, Keith, Elliot, Bud.

Thank you for letting me return to the show. I haven't listened to the episode last week with Tate because I'm scared to i'm good josh payd is he is

smooth as and i'm just glad i'm back in the seat here after a a week away with leave um

give me the reprieve from the screaming at home dude i'm glad to have you back and and

you're right paid is smooth like he he had his answers almost written down i feel like the

questions he didn't even know i was going to ask so that's he like he speak for him he he has

fully formed thoughts before he start speaking i i have no idea what that's a lot. I figured it's a go, which I don't know a little more sense, but it's a monster.

So I'm glad he got to jump on with you.

He is, man.

I was a good time.

And we're glad he could fill in.

But glad we got the OG cast back here.
