How long gone recording in progress.

That's Chris Black.

I'm coming to you from a supply closet at a photo studio in Pasadena. It is 8.45 in the morning. This is how we get it done here at How Long Gone. We do it all. Them jeans, you're just down the street, but I'm sure you've had a different morning than I have, maybe. Oh, yeah, definitely. Yeah, the acoustics in your room are odd, I will say.

I don't know.

Hopefully, that's just the Zoom talking, but I think we'll clean it up in post.

Yeah, I've had a rough since I got home from Austin.

I've had a rough go, but we're getting there.

I don't want to bring up anything too sensitive, but I just, just so the listeners know where you're at, is the water heater repaired? Are we good?

We're good. Yeah, got home Sunday night after a weekend of Tex-Mex and watching guys rip the filters off their cigarettes and you know

drinking Matthew McConaughey hazy IPAs just to get the you know enough water in the system so

you're not dehydrated and then got home Sunday sunday night caroline was nice enough to pick

me up from the airport and we went and got a little bite to eat at barsaniski uh had some delicious

tomato toast how many places how many places are there called bar something we got to stop let's get

more creative i agree agree. I agree.

Like if you're a restaurant, I'm going to assume you have a bar. I just putting that out there. But I think people want, I think the problem is people are like, okay, we don't make any money selling food, only selling alcohol because the margins are shite. We need to lead with the fact that we're a bar that also serves food. Alcohol's over too though.

And this is a whole other issue, but yeah, that does.

I see. We need to lead with the fact that we're a bar that also serves food. Alcohol's over too, though.

This is a whole other issue, but yeah, that does.

I see your point.

I don't know if that's going to help, but I see alcohol.

I see your point.

I mean, I'm not saying that's why they're doing that.
