Hello.

Hi, John. How are you?

Hi, Merlin.

It's early.

It is early. It's too early for me to sing our theme song, or your theme.

Merlin, man.

Oh, you're not your singer.

They see your every moon. I don't think that guy watching you. They see your every moon.

I don't think that guy gets the credit he deserves.

I think Oates gets more than enough credit, but I think Hall should get more credit.

You're starting off today by stipulating that Oates gets all the credit he deserves, but haul.

More, more than the credit.

You're saying oats gets too much credit.

I probably put that poorly because it's very, very early.

Now, our listeners, due to the asynchronous time-shifting nature of media today,

will probably be already be drunk, and it'll be late at night when they're listening to this. But for our purposes,

this is by far the earliest we've ever tried to do anything. It's maybe the earliest I've ever

tried to do anything. After sleeping. I have not slept. That's part of the problem. No, come on. Well, I didn't sleep. I asked my lady about this. See, I was worried about that. Now, I'm just saying, like, there may be times that you have decided to, for whatever reason, clean one of your sidearms at 3.30, but I'm just saying that's probably because you hadn't slept yet.

Right.

And unless somebody was like sawing a tree down in the next yard, you probably don't like normally wake up this early.

No, I don't. And I'm certainly not accustomed to considering oats.

I'm sorry. You know what I mean? Like oats is something that I say for after lunch.
