This is Triviality.

Music Matt, Neil, and Jeff, this is Triviality. Hello and welcome to Triviality, the game where a lack of seriousness meets just the smallest amount of knowledge that you could possibly imagine.

Shrinking by the day.

Pico knowledge.

My name is Ken,

and I'm here with Jeff and Neil in the studio, and Matt in D.C. What's up?

Matt, are you passing any bills lately?

He is the bill. Five, ten? Just whatever the change is, right? Bills, Tom, Johns, I pass them all. I walk around quite a bit out here. I thought you dress up as the bill from schoolhouse rock as a cosplay and sit on the steps. Is that not accurate? That would be pretty good. I mean, I ask for money. I trick people into taking pictures with me and then demand $10. Hey, you're like our politicians. How are you doing, Ken? All right. A little sleepy after this long day, but we're going to get through it. You were churning butter today. You had a sithe. I woke up at 3.38. Turn that butter into cream or whatever. I don't know how you make stuff. You churn the butter into cream, yeah. Other way. You turn the butter into cream. You turn the cream into butter. Yeah, right. I know what life is like in an Amish farm. You would. Your power went out the other day. That's true. I did. Three minutes from happy to make your cream and butter. I did. I grew a very quick neck beard and looked to scripture and started churning butter. And that was only after two hours. Just two hours. That's all it took. Well, speaking of Amish community, we have a community here at Triviality. Maybe not the same type of community, but we're fun. We hope just as close knit. Yeah, just hope is close knit. We build houses and things like that, but we have two members of our community here today that we're excited to get to know a little bit better for the listeners at home, but both of them have been on the show before. So everyone's been a little bit used to them already. We're going to start with our host today, coming to us all the way from Sydney, Australia, Oakland Five supporter on Patreon.

Mark Sheehan, how are you, Mark?
