Hello. Hi, John. Hi, Merlin. How's it going? Oh, so it's so good. Good morning. Yeah, good

morning. Good morning. I'm sitting here and you know, a long time listeners to show would

probably not believe what my recording setup looks like. Even people who know what it looks like

probably wouldn't believe what it looks like. Okay. I basically now have got the system down

so that I keep it under the couch for one company comes over. So my house looks neat.

Uh-huh. And then when it's time to record, I reach under the couch and I pull out my setup and I

put it on the coffee table. Well, hang on. You're a professional. So you record with your professional

equipment and then when you're done, like a big bear rip free stretch out of the couch. You just

push everything underneath it. I just push it under the couch. Do your guests know they're

sitting on your career? No, I don't think they do. I don't think they, I mean if somebody worked

to like drop something on the floor and lean down, they would see, you know, a digital audio

interface. There's not that many jobs where it wouldn't be obvious when they're sitting. If you

were a baker, they would smell it. Yeah. All right. If it would pizza oven, it'd be hard to fit

under it. Automobile mechanic. Yep. You could have a killer set of tools. You could have your tools

on there or maybe like a hydraulic lift. But in this case, you're done talking, pss, pss, you're done.

Maybe you could also get those things like filling stations used to have where you run over and

they go, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding. Where did those go? Look at the podcast studio with the

what? One of those. Oh, God. Me too. And he can never do it on your own. You jump on it.

Yeah. That's right. Well, you know, there was presence, presence detection was in its

infancy then, you know, there, there used to be a way station, you know, a truck stop way station

type of place outside of Anchorage that was closed at night and you could pull over there and

and go walk out on the scale, the truck scale. And you could see in the window.
