Hey, everybody. We're live from California in a hotel room. Good to be back, gentlemen.

We're here. We're looking at each other. It's a little creepy because we haven't done this in a long time.

Got a table? We've never had a table. Yeah, we're here. And, yeah, we'll see. We have a couple of hours to talk and we'll go until we drop dead. You know, all of us are still

mostly on Eastern Times. So we'll see how well this goes. Why is Casey so much louder than me?

Because Casey just enunciates more than you. I know, but you got to turn me up then.

All right. I got it. I got it. I'll turn Casey down. Especially if you're going to use a live mix. I mean, yeah. Oh, yikes. You're not going to be able to correct it.

I'm going to shove this microphone into my face here.

Don't do that.

No,

I can just do it.

I got you.

I got you.

You're up to 50 decibels.

That should be played.

I'm old and tired.

Once I start yelling, it'll probably be better. That'll happen eventually. Give it time. I'm not about locking wheel nuts on this podcast.

I'll hear about it.

I have a hard dynamic range, HDR.

I'm at HDR.

Casey has already gone through a compressor.

Everything is the same.

My whispers are low.
