You don't believe in any conspiracy there?

Hey, we're recording the podcast.

Shut up.

Good morning to you wherever you are because it is morning somewhere for February 14th,

2020.

My name is Bernie Burns with me sitting right over there.

Right in front of me is my lovely Valentine, Miss Ashley.

It's so good to see your stupid face.

I'm glad you're home.

Dude, it's so good to be home.

So I was away for about a week and a half, two weeks.

We don't really like to talk about, you know, when we're traveling in the moment. But there were some posts made online where people sleuthed it out that I was, I was in Houston for about a week and a half for a family thing, which was pretty stressful. And I got to say, Ashley, it was very nice to have this show to be able to, like, sit down and talk to you and have the structure of that.

It really helped take my mind off everything that was going there. So everything that was going on there, I should say. And it's good to be back. Very good to be back. So good to be back. And to welcome you back. There's a fun thing that happened. While you're talking about welcoming me back, you showed up at the airport yesterday with a dozen

roses and a baby.

Finn are, I say toddler, but he's our kid.

He's the kid.

He's a kid now.

He had to go to swimming lessons so he couldn't be there to pick me up.

But actually showed up with a dozen roses and the baby.

And I had two handfuls of

Milano cookies and Reese's pieces. I know what to bring. Look, those are important things. They're

very important things. There are Reese's pieces here in Scotland, but they don't taste quite the same.
