Today's episode is brought to you by that one unreasonably warm day in the dead of winter that comes just at the right moment.
You know, the kind of day where you put on your favorite t shirt, you inflate your bike tires for the first time in months.
You go outside, you come alive.
You're uplifted by the sights and sounds of your city.
There's not a cloud in the sky.
You feel the warmth of the sun on your skin again.
And it doesn't matter that it's gonna snow tomorrow, because even as the sun sets, you believe, because you need to believe that spring is just around the corner.
Anyway, here are the real ads.
Hey, folks, just wanted to say before we kick things off that today's episode has a racial epithet in it that might be uncomfortable for some people to hear.
So with that, let's start the show from gimlet.
This is reply all.
I'm Emanuel Joachi.
And I'm Alex Goldmandous.
Hey, onyx, how you doing?
Not bad.
You know, I'm moving some stuff, so I just drove a u haul for many hours on the highway.
I like driving in a u haul.
I feel like I'm the king of the road.
Feels very mad Max.
To me, it is kind of nice.
