Hey, everybody.

Welcome to the Macquarie Podcast.

I'm Jerry Deirde Sexton.

I'm here with Nick Hausman, my good buddy.

How are you?

I'm hanging in there.

I can barely move the old back, but the heart is ticking to the right time right now,

so I'm happy about that.

And, you know, that's all I could say. So we have some really cool announcements about a couple of things that are happening in the next couple of weeks. We have an absolutely jam-packed show. I got to tell you, I'm actually really excited about what we're talking about today. Before we do, I would, I would love it if you would indulge me very, very quickly on a, on a, on a story that I think has a, a thematic

relationship with what you just said. Nick, I, I'm a runner. That's, that's my chosen

physical activity. I like to run about seven or eight miles a day for whatever reason. I think

because I like to punish myself. I'm also a 41-year-old man.

I have to tell you, I've never had trouble running before.

I took a tumble today.

I took a hell of a tumble.

And you've already seen that I've got, I've got blood on the, on the elbow.

My leg is all biffed up.

My side is all kind of messed up. My hands are all,

and you don't realize that when you scratch your hands, like how sensitive they are,

like after shave and such. Yeah. I started to go down and I got to tell you in my mind,

and I'm sure you feel similarly at some wavelength

I thought I was going to break every bone in my body. I thought it was done. You know what I mean?
