I'm Count Newport and this is DeepQuestions, episode 203.

I'm here in my DeepQuark HQ joined by my producer Jesse.

Jesse, it took me what, six months to stop calling you my professor?

It's muscle memory. He said it a few times. It was pretty funny.

It was actually pretty common. I'm used as muscle memory during the semester.

I'm around other professors, but now I feel like I have that in.

Speaking of the DeepQuark HQ, I've been thinking about it recently.

We've talked about this before, but now I want to get serious, maybe get some serious feedback about it,

because we're coming up to the point where we signed the new lease, et cetera, et cetera.

And as Jesse will attest, we have yet to do work on any part of this HQ except the studio.

You're a busy guy. You got a lot of stuff going on. I know, but it'd be fun.

I am a busy guy. But the studio, we put a lot, you know, we're always working on the studio.

We're always adding new technology. We always have people coming in and out,

be it sound technicians or FCC experts, shout out to Albert, Power Company.

We're always working on things. We have video people, et cetera.

The rest of the HQ is dismal.

And I think it's time that we actually make this into something better.

We've talked about this before, but we've never had a good idea.

You've been here now for a while. What are we going to do?

We got a large room, a common space room that has bookshelves that I'm about to ransack for my new library study at home.

And we have a standalone office. It right now is storage.

We have a bunch of old lights in there and piles of books.
