Welcome to Stuff You Should Know, a production of iHeartRadio.

00:00 - 00:00 Josh

Hey, and welcome to the podcast. I'm Josh, and there's Chuck, and Jerry's not here, but Chuck is, and Chuck's new nickname is Poopy McGee. Actually, Pukie McGee. Not both?

00:00 - 00:00 Chuck

No. Well, that's good. Here's the story, everybody. I went to Mexico City again and got sick again, thankfully at the end, and... I couldn't record yesterday, but we were in danger of missing a publish date for the first time. Yes. In 17 years?

00:00 - 00:00 Josh

Grave danger, I would say. Like, it's Wednesday at 3, and we need an episode for tomorrow at 5 a.m.

00:00 - 00:00 Chuck

Right. And we've never cut it this close. So first of all, my friend, thank you for your flexibility.
