Thank you, man. Welcome to Dopey. This is a very, can be a very crazy episode of Dopey, because we're at my dad's house, and my dad's not here.

Sorry dad, but I'm happy you're not here. That's mean, isn't it? No, it's fine. My dad is in Spain, jet setting, but Gordon knows he'll be listening to the episode, and he's wasting your inheritance.

Well, Todd is here still, and Jim, when I oldest in best friend is here, welcome Jim. Thank you. I was worried we were going to wake Alan up.

He would have loved if you were here. He would have, I would have looked at him. He never goes to bed when we're recording, too. He's always coming in here for something.

Yeah, some just saying. He's like, he's walking by, but he knows everything we've been talking about.

And he loves me. I, by the way, I need to say, you know, close the door. And it, but also if Todd was here, my dad was here. My dad would be like, oh, Todd, how are you doing?

I hear you. My dad has, has convinced that that already laying is like you. He's like, I don't know about this already laying. He's got, he's just like Todd.

He's got the same problems as Todd. It's like that. Artie Lang is a multi-millionaire living in a penthouse. Todd is not.

He's close. So we're back recording dopey. Then I got nothing.

Here, Jim's here. Jim is a long time dopey listener. We were just checking our statistics and our downloads are Paul Trey from Russia.

So we have 445, at least under them are me from Jim. Jim is a, take it away. He's a Russian sculptor.

Jim is one of those kinds of people who is basically very good at everything he does. Just shut up. He's shaking his head.

Jim, I've been on a dynamic program. When we were when we were in high school, he was this pseudo math prodigy to play guitar, plays fucking Stevie Ray Vaughn, he stipples like a pro. He can do balls and stuff.

And then he decided he was going to be pre-med. But then he didn't like the MCAT. And then he realized that he could be an artist. And he started sculpting. And then all of a sudden he was sculpting heads and full figures in Russia. Now he's here.

Welcome. Thank you. Thank you. It's nice to be back. I saw I've been in Russia on and off for the last 15 years. And the last year and a half.

This podcast has been one of my only English speaking experiences on a daily basis. Are you listening to any Russian podcasts? No. Do you join in Russian or English?

Well, in the beginning I was dreaming in a very broken Russian where all the characters were desperately trying to communicate with each other.

Very limited vocabulary. But that was when the first four years I was with my wife, now girlfriend at the time she didn't speak any English to me. So I tried harder than that. Now she speaks English better than I speak Russian.

Okay, there you go. I wish I had some of those in Russia. In Soviet Russia.
