== Guest Absence ==


'''Brad Dowdy:''' Very good. Very good. Do you listen back to our show? My guess would be no.

'''Myke Hurley:''' No, I don't. I don't listen back. I tend not to listen back to anything, really, unless there's a specific reason. Either somebody tells me I should, or there's something has happened in an episode that I was particularly proud of. I have listened back to episodes of this show, but I don't habitually listen back to episodes of this show.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Sure, sure. So I usually listen, I'd say I listen probably 90% of the time. Sometimes if I've run out of time, I don't listen back to it. But I listened back to last week's episode with Brian Goulet. I love that episode. That was a really fun episode. It felt like it. So I want to just thank Brian again. Yeah, yeah. You can kind of feel it at the time that, okay, this is going to be a good episode, and we've gotten a lot of good feedback on that episode. So I just wanted to say everyone thank you for the feedback, and thank you to Brian Goulet for joining us. And I enjoyed listening back to it again and caught some of the things that you don't catch when you're actually working on recording a show instead of listening to your self-recorder show. So it was good. We did a good job.

'''Myke Hurley:''' You did a good job. I saw somebody say on Twitter this week, which was quite funny.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I know what you're going to say.

'''Myke Hurley:''' When you said there was no guest, and they were like, great, Myke will be back.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I felt bad. I did feel bad.

'''Myke Hurley:''' Why?

'''Brad Dowdy:''' I don't know. So I went back and listened when I had read that before I listened to last week's episode. I was like, okay, Myke talked enough in this one. I was like, I don't feel too guilty. I don't like Myke sitting back there quiet.

'''Myke Hurley:''' That is my choice, though. So when we have guests, I don't know if people would assume this, but when we have guests, I let you run the episode. I like to just sit back and listen. It's nice because I don't ever get to do that. So that's actually when I listen to the show, is when we have guests. Because, plus, you are a lot better at interviewing the guests we have on this show than I am. Because you have a greater knowledge of the products and things like that than I do.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Yeah, but you've gotten so good at this, you just chime in perfectly and elaborate on some of those topics. So anyway, I thought it was good, but I saw that exact tweet you were talking about, and I got a laugh out of that. I forget who sent that, but it was funny. All right, so this week we have a bunch of random topics, a bunch of topics I got off Twitter and some interesting things to go through. And one was something I went through yesterday, Myke, on this new Field Notes edition. I punted this edition. And do you know what that means in the American lexicon?

'''Myke Hurley:''' Well, if I know what it means exactly, it means you took it into the garden and kicked it. Essentially. Very, very far.

'''Brad Dowdy:''' Essentially, yeah. So I started an ambition edition, and essentially I gave up on it before finishing it.
