Hello. Hi John.

Hi John.

Hi, Merlin.

How's it going?

Oh, you know, Stone. It's pretty aloha. Yeah. Want talk about that? Yeah, sure, I can always talk about

aloha. You, um, a little bit early. It's kind of early. Yeah. Yeah. I slept well last night. Oh, I'm happy for you. Yeah, I don't always sleep well

I wake up in the morning. I look at my phone and it tells me how well I slept and it you know provides

confirmation or punishment that I have very little actual control over.

Let's see who's mad at me on Twitter today and how I slept.

Yeah, those are the two first things you need to know in the day.

Vilcomin.

So you, you, is it fair to say that you, in as much as you can say, you know, operational security, you went to Hawaii, is that right?

If you, if you listen carefully, the discerning listener

will perceive that I'm still in Hawaii.

Shut your whore mouth. I'm still here. Oh God it must be so early what is it like

three in the morning there? Three in the morning yeah I'm sorry man no no it's good

it's good it's good see I need to I need I need order in my life I need I need structure

and so getting up in the morning is a form of of structure as far as I understand it so it's certainly a step in the

right direction so you know the chickens of course the rooster oh they go out it

early don't they?

They do, and this, these wild jungle roosters here, they first start to crow at about 3 a.m.

Yeah, they haven't ordered life. They do. They do. That was a weird adjustment for me. We were, I think we were, I don't know, I forget how long we were were there but when we were in Hawaii a lot of adjustments
