All right. Here it is. It's episode 46. Wendy, I've already asked you off here. I'll ask you on the air. Is the backup running? We've got the backup going?

The backup is running. Plan B. Backup generator? Yes. I'm Bill F. That's Wendy Snyder. Welcome to the

podcast. This is episode number 46. Can I get something out of the way really quickly, Wendy, before we start?

Yeah. I want to wish a very, very happy birthday to a friend of the shows, a friend of my, you introduced

me to him years ago, and boy, I love this guy, Prince Philip enjoying a 99th birthday today.

Happy birthday, your royal hindness.

Hindness.

Yeah, that's an inside joke that only he and I get.

Okay.

But he's the reason, because it's his 99th birthday, he's the reason that I have 99 red balloons behind me right now.

I wonder if you took 99 balloons, red or otherwise.

Loofed?

Would they lift you? Would they lift you up? Oh, boy or otherwise. Loof. Would they lift you?

Would they lift you up?

Oh, boy.

I have to remember now the opening sequence to the movie Up, where the man's house is lifted by a ton of balloons.

I don't think, all right, so let's say the average human adult weighs somewhere between 130 and 180 pounds, right?

I don't think 99 balloons would be enough helium-filled, of course, to lift a person up off the air.

I don't think so.

How many balloons would it take?

This isn't a joke.

I'm serious.
