Hello. Hi, John. Hi, Merlin. How's it going? Good. How's it going with you? Good. It's actually going really good. Oh, 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 goddamn 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

alma mater. They're going down to 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 when they're

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 on 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 to be seasoned, though. It's a smelly process. You try and explain that to people, and then they still use soap on it. Well, thank you for cleaning it, but don't you. So I'm seasoning. Don't touch Daddy's Pans. Yeah. Title. I, I, uh, 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 metal.

And I believe me, I hear about that.

What's burning?

What I use to prepare your food?

And I also can run the robot, the vacuum robot.

Oh, I robot, yes.

By iBot, it updates, does mapping runs.

I do all those things.
