Hello. Hi, John. Hi, Merlin. How's it going? Ah, two minutes early. I don't like talking

about the show on the show, but you're two minutes early. I'm two minutes early, minutes

to early. Killin' the onboard in the womb. That's not what I'm doing.

I think the red skin's back to their homes. You know, you know who loves history is Iron

Maiden. They love history. They do. All their songs sound like troops galloping, charge

the liper gate, not a great idea. No, it turned out it didn't work out for them. John,

has that a classic pincer maneuver? It's even worse than a pincer maneuver, right? It's

more like you just, you see a pincer than you walk into it. Is that what they do? Yeah, that's

right. They rode into a... It's a cattling or the cattling, John? I think they, I think

they did the, the old west thing where they rode into a canyon and they didn't look up.

You don't want to do that. No, that's bad. If I heard correctly, it's important that the

position, when you're in some kind of a martial situation, it's best to, it's all about

position, right? It's about position, Marlon. That's absolutely right. It's a position, position,

position. I thought the army agents are always saying. Yeah. Well, that's pretty good.

It's true, because like, when my father was in Korea, the story goes, I believe this is

a true story. My father was in Korea. He was a foot soldier and had a terrible time there.

He had PTSD before it was cool, but you know, he was a, he was a real, he was a private,

he was a fighter. They told him that he became a corporal, but then he refused to paint something

when they knew, he knew they were bugging out, and so they busted him back down to private.

But he had, I don't know, I see, I haven't thought about this too much, but the story goes that

he, he wrote a letter, a somewhat coded letter to his mother, my paternal grandmother,

saying something along the lines of G, you know, it's so hard here, it sure would be great if Betsy
