CHICAGO MARATHONERS LISTEN UP!!

[upbeat music] Yay.

Yay.

We're back.

We're back.

I know you all, I know y'all missed us on Tuesday.

Yeah.

Did you miss us? I know they missed us.

I missed us.

I missed us too.

I-

Yeah

... and I also missed being in this location, in my dungeon.

Yes.

'Cause recording at the Cape just doesn't do it for me.

I feel like you must be at a different angle or something, because I can see your electrical box behind you.

I know.

Let me... [laughs]

[laughs] Is there usually something covering that? 'Cause I'm like-

Yeah, yeah

... "This is new."

No, I usually do this.

Does that help?

No.

Oh.

You see? It's like right...

Well, I'm pointing, like you can see.

Well, they also, they also change-

I thought you had like a curtain or something over...

Oh, that's what it is.

[laughs]

[laughs]

There you go.

For our listeners, who is everyone, 'cause we never post this anywhere else-

Right

...

Laura, Laura films in her, I guess it's your basement?

Yes, it's my basement, and it used to be, I think, a canning room-

Okay

... 'cause the house was built in the early 1900s.

And so you would can things and then store them down here because it's dark and-

Yeah

... cool.

And she's got it like all decked out.

It just looks so good.

I know.

But it's all like-

It makes me jealous

... no, you know what it is? It's all just-

Smoke and mirrors

... smoke and mirrors.

Oh, yeah, yeah.

Um, yeah.

Because it's just such a small angle, you can't see the full picture.

But for me-

Yeah

...

it looks so official.

Like, I just think, like I don't know what I'm gonna do.

I, I was thinking about getting some PVC pipes and making myself a little background that I can roll in and out, you know?

[laughs]

And create my own little fake-

You should

... you know? Like a fake something.

Yeah.

And then I can just like slide it into a closet and only-

Yeah

... use it when we're recording.

I don't know, I haven't figured it out yet.

It's something I need to try and figure out, 'cause you've inspired me.

That's a fun creative project to work on this winter, you know?

Yeah.

Yeah.

Make my own little background, you know?
