Hello. Hi, John. Hi, Merlin. How's it going? Good. How's it going with you? Good. It's

actually going really good. Yeah. Wait a minute. What makes it really good instead of

just regular good? Can I speak candidly? No one's listening. It's just you and me. Yeah.

My god damn family's out of the house. Whoa. How did you do that? Well, they knew I had to do

this. So sometimes when I'm doing a thing, that's good timing for them to do things, especially

the kind of thing where I go, you know, like I do. So they're doing a hike at my wife's

son, my mother, they're going down Santa Cruz and they're hiking. Are you in the, but you're

not in the house. You're in the office anyway. I'm in my private studio right now, but that

has not stopped me from doing, I have a running list of the things to do when they're not in

the house. And I get to do all of those filthy dirty things that I love to do in the house.

You're having a daddy day. Oh, man, I am, I am power puttering. You know, when I was a younger

person, I would have utilized that time to, you know, commit the sin of owning in an elaborate

way. But now I use it to, well, number one, top of the list, you know, cast iron pans.

It's a hobby. Yeah, they need, they need, they need to be seasoned though. You, you, that's,

you try and explain that to people and then they still use soap on it. Well, thank you

for cleaning it. But don't, so, so I'm seasoning. Don't touch daddy's pants. Yeah, title. I,

well, I, so this is my opportunity to run the oven really high, break it down a little

bit, season them back up nice. Yeah, you know what I mean? Yeah, the whole place smells

like acrid burning. And I believe me, I hear about that. What's burning? The, what I

used to prepare your food? And I also can run the robot, the vacuum robot. I robot. Yes.

But robot, robot, I bought it updates. Does mapping runs? I do all those things. I can do it.

Hold on. Yeah. Tell me about a mapping run. Oh, well, anyway, so just close that parenthesis.
