Hello?
Hello? So Yeah, you you guys were having a very good laugh at my expense because I am not the most computer savvy person in the world, so
you're fairly computer literate, I've decided, Rick.
I know, it's it's it's so sad, it really is. I try, I pretend, but then it just comes off really bad.
No, you know, I get it because I for years I really tried to keep up with technology and like in the last couple of years or so I've decided to just it's time to just let technology pass me by.
No, I refuse to do that. I refused you hear me, refuse.
I think it already has, Rick. Like years ago.
Oh man. You know what? I you know what? I'm sure that Theo could have came in here and fixed my problem.
Theo probably could have fixed your problem quite easily. I was hoping that Jamie was gonna come in and rescue you, but no such luck. So well for for people listening, if you don't know what we're talking about, Rick has an a lovely new set of uh headphones so that he can Sound all nice and, you know, really good on on paranormal underground radio here, but he can't quite get them to work just yet.
So And y it's it's so weird because like, okay, the last ones that I had Um I used for like the first three and a half years, almost four years of the show. And then all of a sudden one day they just decided to crap out on me. All right, fine, whatever. So it's like I've been sitting here speaking through the speakers and listening through the speakers of My computer Um which apparently hates me. So Karen buys me this new this nice new set of headphones and they're really great and everything and I decided to try and figure them out at the last minute and it just failed miserably. We could
hear him cussing and swearing, but he could not hear us.
I'm just gl I'm just glad that the listeners at home because this is a family show.
Oh yes, let me tell you folks, when Rick is frustrated he can drop some F bombs.
Yeah, you know what? I grew up in a Catholic family. That's the thing. It's like man, there nobody can swear like an Irish Catholic, let me tell ya. That's all I heard when I was growing up.
Boy, I guess not. So, Rick.
Yes.
