I'm good. I can't complain. So you've only been in Oklahoma City for a little while, and I want your impressions of the city itself. Like, what are your thoughts on it? What did you think about it before you moved here? And, like, now, what do you think? Yeah, so what I thought of it before I moved here was, like, almost literally nothing. I don't mean that in an insulting way.
