big 1050.com and joining us as he does every single Tuesday around this time.

Our partner, our friend from north of the border, he comes down from Canada, not every day, but he came down from Canada to grace us with his

presence, just so he can sort of impart some wisdom upon us.

Yeah, 26 years ago.

Came down from the mountains.

He runs away from home and lives up in the mountains and borers out a tree and lives in the tree. Lives in the tree. This sounds like where the wild things are. Learns to make algae pancakes as if there's such a thing. Wow. I've not. Made his own syrup. Yeah. Is this one of those like middle school books that you read or? No, it's elementary school. Okay. Okay. It's elementary school. What are they teaching kids? What are they teaching kids that you can just leave home and, and you can just scoop out a tree and make pancakes at a moss? What did you? I don't think they feared many kids trying that in the city of Flint.

I don't think that was a thing on the worry list.

Wear shorts a lot.

I used to wear shorts all the time as a kid. I don't know. I think, honestly, I just didn't like how pants felt. That hasn't changed as an adult, though, for you, I don't think.

If I hear Jamie Morris, so a lot of times when I leave work, I mean, of course you're going to... Do you have a dress code here? Because, wait, what is this?

Yes, pants. You have to wear clothes. If I hear Jamie Morris, so a lot of times when I leave

work, I throw on TK. You didn't know Jamie does this show, used to do a show without pants sometimes? He used to do a show without pants, man. Just in his, in his gatchies, in his, and his tidy whitties.

We have rules in this studio, however.
