When I go to download the episode, on my way to upload it to the 'machine', I'm told by Google, that the file is too large, for Google, to scan for viruses - but I do it anyway. It's been ages since I've had a virus. Viruses are virulent, don't get me wrong, but I just don't know if computer viruses are a thing anymore. Sure, phishing, smishing (SMS phishing), Pig butchering, Carding, Catfishing, Click fraud, Clickjacking, Cramming, Cryptocurrency scams, Cybercrime, and CyberThrills are everywhere ... and those are the ones that mainly start with the letter C, but it's been a long time since I've seen a computer virus. Computer virus starts with a C too lol. I really hope I don't get a virus now that I'm talking about not being "in tune" with the computer virus news of late. You, the reader, probably don't even know who I, the author, am, and I intend to keep it that way, you. Anyway, one hell of an episode here. Dinosaur bones are yours to have, the Orkneys are doling out bananas, Kit Kats are missing, Mark is running for office again, and sharks are on all sorts of drugs, including caffeine. Terrible, I know. Fascinating stuff happening around the world, and we are here to report on it, for you, the listener.

(Me on the phone) ... "Yep, sounds good, okay, sounds good, alright bye!" Hey there listener, sorry, I was on the phone. Important call! Anyway, new ep right here. We hit all the topics you, the listener, love. Family trees, stumps, airbnbs, arrests, warrants, flashing lights, ticking clocks, the sounds of train horns blasting through your window at night as you sleep. Wait, sorry, the train horn sounds were for another podcast! Train Horn Monthly. You know it? You listen to it? Not to toot my own horn, but I also do the descriptions for Train Horn Monthly, the Podcast. Also, it's a weekly podcast. I'm always like, what the heck you guys, your podcast is called Train Horn Monthly but it's coming out every week? Talk about misleading! A train horn is a sonic beacon, it CANNOT mislead. If the train horn were to mislead, we'd be in deep doo-doo every single day. A single pull of the string that's attached to some pneumatic canister of air, sent through a horn, and out of a horned bell, and into your ears, that's how the train horn works. Nothing misleading about that. Well, this podcast episode is similar to that, except it's less about train horns and more about hard hitting global news. Enjoy!

There is an old saying about podcasts. I can't remember what it is, but I'm sure you already know it! Your grandpa probably said it to you at least once a month. If I think of it, I will tell you. If I can't well, then we're both sh...it out of luck. What the hell's that one mean? That's a pretty old saying. Damn! Even "there's an old saying" is pretty much an old saying by now. When did it hit the "old saying" quotient? Like when did the "there's an old saying" become an old saying? What's older? The shit out of luck one or there's an old saying? I'm completely unsure if anyone reads these. The show is good, what more do you need to know? I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just curious. I guess I never read these, but it depends on the podcast. Some podcasts, if it's like serious stuff, I think I'll read the 'show notes', but otherwise, I probably don't. I always see the text, but I'm never reading it I guess. Anyway, there's an old saying about podcasts. I'm sure your grandpa has said it before ...
