Welcome back to Paz de the world. I'm trying it with a different tone today Ben.

I'm glad to be here with you. I'm Tommy Vittor. I already screwed it up. I'm Ben Rood.

You look tan. You look rested. You look ready. I'm tan and shavin and ready for the rest of the year.

You're in mild neck of the woods. Northern California. I was in Mill Valley, California.

Beautiful country there. Mountains, hikes, water. It's super nice. I have a buddy from college

who lives in, parents who live in Mill Valley and I came out to SF from DC to visit and we went

and hung out in San Francisco for a weekend and then went out to his parents' place and that's

when I was like, okay, I'm moving to California. I think there's a good per capita world of

population in the Bay Area. I'm just going to go out and on the limb and guess that.

Yeah, combined with some people that unsubscribed because we made fun of Bitcoin.

Then there's some anti-dax or fringe sort of the whole thing. There were some very elder

signs on the way up there. Central coast is pretty dark. I mean, it's like, yeah, it's a little

red out there. But it's good to see again. Hannah and I went up to Santa Barbara for a couple

days and it again reminded me that it's called a live in California where you can just drive

places. It's the best. Since we're talking about California, we're doing a little chitchat,

small talk, bringing the listener in. There is a recall election happening.

Yes, there is. My understanding is Gavin Newsom is being recalled by a bunch of

fringe lunatics who don't like him because he doesn't want people to die from COVID.

And so if you don't like dying from COVID, you might want to consider voting no on the recall.

Legal disclosure. What I just said was not authorized by a candidate or a committee controlled by a

candidate. Well done. There was a giant truck driving around with a sign that said,

make California great again and then a giant picture of Larry Elder on it. That's not helping.
