Hello. Hi, John.

Hi, Merlin. How's it going?

Good. How are you?

I'm good. I'm good. You know, I got new, new Skype, and it's really, really confusing.

So what's new, new Skype? it's really really confusing so what what's new new Skype new new new is it is this like uh the new new new new new sagaya new new new new new new new sky new new new new new sagas new is that in a

native american term well so then the the the the sagia a sag in Anchorage was like a, a sort of a fancy Japanese grocery store. And then the new sagaya was, um, they moved locations. And then there was the new new new city. Oh, okay, okay, okay, okay. Yeah, yeah, it is like that. I don't know. It's confusing. I, you know, I hung on to the old one as long as I could.

And then I got this new new one.

And it's terrible.

And I just keep discovering things about it that are perplexing.

I'm sorry, I don't want to use valuable airtime for this.

But I see it's included an emoji picker.

That's important.

So I can send you emoji. Oh, no. Oh, no. What was that? That wasn't a very... I think it's an Indian lady at a party taking a selfie of herself. Well, I guess that's how you do. Do that one again. How's that?

Well, show me that one again, yeah. Send it again? Well, yeah, because it just popped up and it did like a little motion. She took a little selfie of herself and then it went away so I can't see it. Oh, no. Oh, no. It's okay. Ready? Yeah, here you go. Three, two, one, emoji. Send. Oh, there it is.

Whoa.

Oh, no.

Yeah.

Well, that's terrible. It's not super good. There's a lot of things I would have changed first, but I know that's not how businesses work. What else can I do? I can send you money. Send me some money. Okay. I don't know if that's in the budget. Making 50 bucks. So it doesn't. It doesn't stay? The emoji? No. No. She just was there. She took a little round. Go to the conversation. Do you know how to go to the conversation? I kind of try. I try to avoid the conversation. No, I understand. Okay. How do I go to the conversation? Oh, okay. So over in the Skype. It's down here on the bot. Oh, why is my heart pumping? Oh, no. Are you okay? No, it's like my Skype heart. Your Skype heart's pumping. Oh, I see. Okay. On the conversation now, so here's what I have now. I have the Indian lady. She's got a, for those of you playing along at home. She has a, what's it called a bindi? No, what's it called? Is it called a bindi? Yeah. She's just a round smiley face. Yes. But she has a bindi and she has like black hair clearly parted in the middle and and earrings and that is to communicate oh and there's

some party lights behind her yeah that is to communicate that she is from india okay all right she

pulls out because party lights you know party lights and and what about selfies with a purple

Samsung camera is that is that is that historically something they do on the indian subinent, John? I guess so. Well, it's a remnant of colonialism. I'm learning. Oh, okay, like T. Yeah, right. So she pulls out the purple Samsung photo. She gives a big smile. But since you sent it to me twice, the first one is now static. Okay. But you see the second one. The second one was animated,

but she just got done with her animation. Mouse over it. Mouse over it, John. I think it'll move
