If the writing staff is allowed to cite previous show notes as precedent and therefore indisputable, bedrock fact … and we believe we are … then we feel comfortable once again bringing you relevant words from the Guardian Angel of this podcast, the Patron Saint of Parrotheads and Knight of the Realm Sir James Buffett - “Changes in latitudes, changes in attitudes/nothing remains quite the same.” So wise, so succinct, so true … but Sir James doesn’t give us much guidance as to what sort of attitudinal change we might expect.

Thank the gods our boys Sid and Keith are here with this week’s Overlap Podcast to help guide us along that sainted path, like two vaguely disheveled John the Baptists - it’s all about the Attitude of Gratitude. Our boys will give us anecdotal answers, radical reflections, factual feelings, perspicacious perspectives and life-changing lessons to start 2024 off in the best possible way.

So, forget your troubles, c’mon, get happy and tune in to this week’s Overlap Podcast … and try not to realize that we went a hard Judy Garland turn there with that last reference. We know it doesn’t quite fit with the rest of the conceit here, but Sid and Keith keep us locked in this basement each week until we finish writing and we’ve been here without food and water for 2.5 days so delirium and dysentery have already hit us. Send help, for the love of all that is holy… wait, they’ll see this… it’s been nice knowing you, listeners… (Starts playing “Nearer My God to Thee” on the cello)
