Hello. Hi John. Hi John. Hi, Merlin. How is it going? Oh it's good. It is going good. Listen, listen, I can say something up front.

I gotta, I gotta warn you.

I gotta do something, I gotta do something I almost never do.

I just don't do, but it's something I've got to do I might have to take a call

during the recording but but I will let you hear my end of the call. Okay, okay. Is that fair? No, that's great. That's great. That's wonderful. I

I know you got stuff to do business. No, no, no, no, no, no no no no it's the junk guys are going to come for my

junk oh yeah and it's a therapeutic thing I do every once in a while and and they

they call to a confirm.

Oh yeah yeah yeah they call it a firm yeah so you built up some junk.

Yeah I have a problem well I have a lot of problems one of my problems is I do not and cannot have trash

service at my office. Why? The short version is my my landlord whom I love and get along great with he does have certain superstitions and one of them is he does not want me to have access to the garage where the trash cans live.

Which puts me in an awkward situation.

Wait, wait, wait.

Wait, wait.

Could you have access to it?

Well, I mean, I could keep the trash cans right in my office, but, you know what I mean?

I mean, he doesn't want you to, but it's not like there's a, it's not like there's a blockade or something I mean you could

conceivably I don't think it's a Steve Bannon thing I don't think he's like

dissolving bodies or anything it's I like to think it's to give me plausible

deniability.

You know what I mean?

They call it in the intel community, they call it compartmentalization.
