I'm

I'm Erlan. Hi John.

Oh wow I did a little switcher,

did you see that?

Yeah, no you gotta keep it fresh. I mean, it's weird. It's weird. I don't think I've ever done that in the long time.

Well, you're letting your guard down. You're relaxed. I do feel a little bit like my guard is down.

Oh no, do you feel vulnerable?

I feel a little vulnerable.

Oh no, I'm sorry.

I'll be gentle today.

Thank you.

How is John doing?

Oh, you should do some self-care.

I'm sitting here holding a half-squeeze tube of athletic shoe and boot patch, goop.

I'm still processing that sentence. That's the kind of that's the kind of stuff that's going to put me back together.

I can't believe you can even get a sentence like that out. I scheduled a nap today. Oh, oh, okay. I put a nap on my calendar.

Okay. Oh boy, we're off to the races. You know, you know how I am about my

calendar, right? Yeah, well sure, I'm on the receiving end of it a lot of the time.

Hey, hey. No, no, no, it's very helpful.

Well, you know, you know, time is a flat circle.

Yes it is.

You got to respect time. It keeps on ticking.
