Hey, everybody. It's Ian and Mike. We're the hosts of NPR's How to Do Everything podcast from the team at Wait, Wait, Don't Tell Me. And we're here to tell you that season two of How to Do Everything drops next week. They're letting us back on the air for some reason.

Basically, what we're saying, the guests we call for our show are almost too good. We don't deserve them. Mike and I don't deserve them, but you deserve them. Some of the people we talk to this season include Arnold Schwarzenegger.
