Welcome back to the new Thinkery. We have an important announcement to make after how many years on the road guys? Four years. Four years of how many episodes?
Five? Didn't we start in 2020? Oh yeah, I guess it's five years. Yeah.
Five years and just short five years. 250 episodes plus or so. We are going to take a hiatus. We actually haven't been able to three of us to meet up in years.
And we're going to do that. And we're going to meet in the woods and we're going to take hallucinogenics, or a Squatamol and Indian side-made friends with. What are you doing? Yes, we're taking a summer break.
So we've got summer vacation plans. So you're going to do drugs. I'm going to go to Turkey to get some experimental hair plug surgeries where have you seen this? This is super cheap.
Yeah, but will it be on your hair? Mostly below. Is hair plugs going to be used anywhere? It can't be used anywhere.
Yeah. Greg, what are you going to do? Your hair looks fantastic, by the way. Thanks.
Well, we're having a kid this summer so that'll occupy me. I'm also just pursuing further graduate work. Well, at Alabama Agricultural, I'm doing an experimental, highly engaged program in animal husbandry. Experiancial learning?
Experiancial learning. Unless the theoretical stuff and more just hands-on-the-bow mind, right? Yeah. That's excellent.
You know, it's incredible how much time is learning. You know, it's always learning. You know, if you're with your love wisdom, yeah, I'd like to visit you and take a class. I'm just hoping to write a companion piece to Zenefin Street as an dog and horses.
I thought Greg on cows. Yeah. Yeah. It's kind of funny.
I look at the screen. It's been five years. Five years. Like Dave is not fat anymore.
It's fit and doing stuff. Yeah. Greg is white with age. I mean, his hair has gone completely white.
You look like grandfather. I've gone even bolder. And I feel like we need it. So you and I are more bald.
You're more old looking. You look older. David looks better. David looks better.
We gotta define something else for you. I think it's the hot dog diet. Yeah. Yeah.
It's it. Minor improvements in the hot dog. What's up, what are in the hot dog? Do we have any idea what kind of episodes we're going to be doing?
We get back. Maybe we should have to tease some stuff for folks. Do I like to say we're good. September 3rd, we're tentatively planning will be our first episode back.
Mark your calendars, put it down. Tell your wife to scram. Send your kids off to school. You know, open up a pack of marble reds, get your black tar heroin, slice open a vein and just go off to La La Land with the new thing.
September 3rd. You heard that Martha Nussbaum? Yeah. Well, we're going to do some back to school stuff.
I actually Martha Nussbaum's going to be on the show. That's going to be the second week back. That's our live show. That's right.
Live show. And Cornell West. It's for the West. Yeah.
And actually, JV Vance actually. This is what brings you to Hillary LG. That'll be great. It'll be great.
And we may, if we can do some one off recordings, we'll drop some between now and then sporadically. Don't call it. I'm going to fight to the nail out to do that. But we just hope you guys come back and listen to us.
You know, we'll be a sad little hiatus. You can listen to a bunch of reruns. I mean, there's there's 250 episodes out there. And I know you don't listen to them all except for Jack and Jake.
I think you're our producer, Jake Yanis. Yeah. You want to really desert the vacation. Yeah.
I'm sure. I mean, anything work wise, you don't know this summer? That's interesting. What are you reading?
Like, what should folks reading, writing anything cool? No? Dude. You know what, man?
I hate to admit it, but I've never, been able to finish the Canterbury Tales in full. I guess that's what Finch means. I think it is. I've come like close.
I have, there's some books that you have a few fall starts with. There's one of them. So I just just like, I'm going to do this. And then I was recently reading, I have to take the kids to swimming lessons every day.
And so, it's hard with all these distractions out of stupid pool, all these kids, and you're going to talk to some parents, whatever. So I just, buddy of mine, let me book on the Rolling Stones concert at Altamont. Nice. And so maybe that's where the hallucinogenic stuff is coming on.
Kind of book dumb people read? Oh, yeah. They call themselves Rock aficionados, but yes. That's good.
Alex, anything fun? I'll be traveling. Okay. The turkey.
Connecticut. See my circus. Yeah. I'll be going as the bald bearded lady.
I'm going to Barcelona. I'm just taking Finnegan. I think it's Barcelona. I know.
I'm going to Connecticut, see my parents. Okay. I'm just doing some writing. I'm doing some writing.
I'm doing some writing. I'm doing some writing. I'm doing some reading. What about you?
What about you? What are you reading? You're doing Provost Staphman. I am doing Provost Staph, which is why I don't really get a summer break, which is weird for the first time in my dull life.
And your child life too. My child life. I'm writing an article for our buddy James Gaston, Paul DeDuke on the Recovery of Natural Science in Zenefan. And I'm trying to get this book proposal out on the Syropeidea by the end of the summer.
And maybe do some writing of that, but the number one writing project for that book is to get the proposal. I've already got three or four chapters. And I'll say that the new thinkory will help me sell two or three, which is way more than most academic books. What was I going to say?
When is your child? Do you have a baby? Do the baby? Do the baby?
Do July 12th? But Hannah and my wife is having contractions regularly. And so any time? Yeah.
So we're now in the first week of June. But the doctors say, you know, if I get home tonight, they might be a baby. You know? Oh, man, I remember our sofateat coming home from the office.
We were living in DC and you know, those days you get home, you just like you can't even take out your socks, but you're still in the suit and you just pop down and I'm like, anyone here, anything for anyone. And I see this, like, or Claire's water breaks. I was like, no, no, you just eat on the floor. That's cool.
I do it too. I try to dissuade her. She was like, no, man, this is like, I know what this is. And that's sucked.
Because then you're up for a few days. I have afternoon, even as like that to another approach. And I just, yeah, and that's always when the child, you know, not something for I just keep driving, man. You just keep driving.
Papa wants to pack a cigarettes and never look back. Yeah, right. Going out for cigarettes. Oh, yeah.
My first daughter was supposed to be her due date was Valentine's Day. And I want to hear her to be born on Valentine's Day. It's so bad that I took my wife that her bunch of spicy food took for a hike. She's like nine months pregnant, waddling in the hills.
Maybe one of the reasons we're no longer married, but Alex, that's a horrible thing. If you're listening and you're interested in maybe being Alex's his second wife, just tweet at us. Send pics. Send pics.
I got to have pics first. We'll say just from what's his name. Juiad, do we don't need any more pics, buddy? Don't listen to him.
Alex loves him. I love him. I love him. He's awesome.
We like our fans. We really appreciate you guys listening. We'll come back. We're actually considering some ways to make this show even better.
Get rid of Greg. He'll, Greg McBrier. That's right. Actually, Greg McBrier, one of the listeners at the homeboy Ethan, is on his way to actually listen.
I just watched all that on Twitter. He hacked me to those. Yeah, we instructed our listeners. I'm just still standing.
I'll say it down to Greg's here. You got to go eat Greg McBrier. You got to string him up, roasting, put his head on a pipe, and eat Greg McBrier. Jam on your inner, little note down on.
Jam on your inner David human. That's right. Do it soon because he's old and gaming. I'm very gaming.
Very gaming. All right. Everybody take care. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
See you later guys. Yes.
