[upbeat music] This is the Baymont Podcast with Marty Solomon. I'm his co-host, Brent Billings. Today, we are looking at the pillar of community from the perspective of Reed Dent.
Marty Solomon· Host0:18
Oh, boy. That was a great setup.
Reed Dent· Guest0:20
That kinda caught me off guard a little bit, like from the perspective of- [laughs] You know, usually it's like from the perspective of, you know, nihilism or from the perspective- [laughs] ... of modernity, but it's like just my, the, the perspective that is exactly the size and shape of my brain.
Brent Billings· Co-host0:36

Reed Dent· Guest0:42

Brent Billings· Co-host1:05
I just wanna remind everybody this is still my series. I'm just wondering, I'm asking Reed, like, what do you think about?
Reed Dent· Guest1:10
You're asking Reed to do all these episodes for you.
Marty Solomon· Host1:12
[laughs] I did. I, when I had these pillars, I thought, "I wanna hear what the other hosts... I know what I would vamp on for 12 episodes, but maybe I should just do four and then ask them what they would see when they look at the same things." That's what we're here to do. So Reed, tell us what you, what you see, what you think about,
