What is going on, everybody? How are we doing? This is the it and the D show episode 351. We are still in quarantine, even though we're slowly getting back into business, cheers to all the bars and restaurants that got to open up today. A guest this week of the illustrious one, mr. Fred Brown. He was on about a month ago, actually. What about a month and a half ago? Right? When everything started breaking kind of educating us on COVID and what a better time to bring them back then, uh, cause all the madness going on right now with the doubts and misinformation and all this other stuff.

 

 

Oh. And let's not forget all the bars and restaurants reopening and everybody believing it's bar crawl day. Yeah. Let's not forget.

Yeah. Hockey glass will save us all here to clear up all the madness and Dave, you know what you may fire when ready.

All right. Yeah. And Fred, since the last time, uh, we've decided we're not playing the intro, uh, during these video sessions. So we're not going to make you suffer through that again.

Okay. It was very inspiring. Welcome. And thank you for hanging out with us. This is the it, and the D show we are hanging out, uh, in our respective houses for the time being, this is episode three 51. This is Bob, the sales guy that is Dave, the geek, Randy.

And uh, yeah. So this is usually where we talk about the events and we have not put any back on the calendar just yet. Uh, but now that things are starting to open up, we will be looking at doing so. Um, I know our buddy Neil was at, uh, where we were supposed to be having our first event that got canceled Del Ray cozy lounge. Uh, so we'll be reaching out to them and seeing how things are going and maybe go back there. Uh, and then we'll work on the Anarbor events as well.
