still have emotional scars from the worst recording fiasco in 426 episodes of the talk show.

I mean, I think it's impressive that it's only, as far as I know, it's only happened

the one time where you think it had to. Remember, I think I told you, it happened in the one-off

weird episode I tried where I just talked to myself. Oh, sure. It was like an answer reader questions episode and I had to re-record myself.

Anyway, sorry, I'm still sorry.

Oh, no, it's fine.

I think it worked out fine.

I don't know if anyone would actually have noticed if they, like, I don't know, I think

the episode itself was fine.

It was just a bit of a strange way to spend a few hours having a conversation

that you had previously again, but still trying to make it not be unusual. All right. Famous last

words, but I don't think this is going to be a long, super long episode. It's fair to say. I've

completely cleared my head turned out the way my day ended up going. So like we, I don't have any commitments after this. So it's, you can take as long as, as long as it needs to. So don't feel like you're constrained in any way.

All right. I've got down here in my podcast station, so many devices. I've got my regular phone. I've got my spare phone with the iOS 26 beta in case we talk about

anything specific. I've got my terminal just because they're a sponsor on this episode.

Got my iPad to read. Anyway, too many devices. And you got a whole lot of weights behind you

too. So if you get it to, you need to pump it up while you're going, you can just go for it.

Oh, it's been, I think, oh, a long time since you were on the show, David?

Too long.

I think so.

It's been a couple years, maybe.

I think the first one we did was in 2020 when Widget Smith exploded.
