So great, when we knew that we were going to be in San Francisco together, I was thinking how interesting it would be to record cortex in person, especially when you put it on the calendar.

And I was like, oh, look at this. We're going to be in San Francisco. It's going to be a new experience, like recording in the same room. We've never done there before. So here we are. We're in San Francisco, both in the same hotel recording the show but can you tell people

where you are right now? I am in my hotel room talking to you in your hotel room.

Yeah this is the way podcasts were meant to be Mike. It never occurred to me that we'd be

recording in person. This is how I always envisioned this moment.

We're like in the same building and we're talking on Skype. It's just so inefficient.

No, but this is perfectly efficient.

You shouldn't do a podcast while looking at your podcast and co-host.

I feel very strongly about this.

You should only ever hear them, because You should only ever hear them because the audience

only ever hears them. And also it's super weird to record podcast in person. I would be

so uncomfortable if I was looking in your little mic eyeballs right now and trying to record a show.

I don't think I could do it.

I feel like you need to be starting this show by going like live from San Francisco.

It's Mike and Gray.

It's the Mike and Gray Variety Hour.

Yeah, even though we are in the same hotel room, it does still feel different somehow.

I don't know how, but it does feel...

I mean, maybe it's different because I had to see you five minutes ago to grab your iPad to tether to do the show in the first place.

And so it was a little weird seeing you in person doing the show.

But yeah, so it does feel different.

A hundred percent of everything is different.
