    IMPORTANT NOTICE: Spotify's podcast hosting feature malfunctioned and did not process or upload this episode, even though it was originally scheduled to premiere at 9:15 on March 2, 2026.

I'm so sorry for the delay, I was really excited for everyone to hear this episode on time. I’d rather cornrow every grain of sand on every coast the Atlantic touches before I want to hear about your situationship, even if you only talk for 2 minutes.
