Hello?

Hi, John.

Hi, Merlin.

How's it going?

Well, there's a little bit of an issue here because, although you can hear me speaking into the microphone, I'm hearing you through the computer audio.

Oh, but I just changed it in the menu.

So now it's good.

Is that a way that you prefer it? To do it in a menu? Mm-hmm. I mean, to be able to hear it like that? Oh, I like to hear you in my headphones and not just like across the room. Because if you say the word computer. Computer. Oh, it sets life for a lady. Yeah, the lady's going to ask us, or she's going to tell us how much rainfall.

Did you choose that for Star Trek reasons?

Amazon Basin.

Calling her computer?

No, the little boy across the street, Jared, is familiar with the Amazon Dingus.

And so he used to come into the house and say,

Alexa, play Old Town Road.

And I would say, Jared, don't control our Alexa.

Stop saying it.

You're not allowed.

You're not authorized.

And he would go, oh, okay, sorry.

And then he would go into, you know, because there's one of these dunguses in like four different places in the house.

So he'd go somewhere else. He just run from dungus to dungus is in like four different places in the house. So he'd go somewhere else.

He'd just run from Dungus to Dungus.
