Hello, hi John hi Merlin. Well, it's funny. Oh, I don't know. Yeah, there's only so many ways you can say hi John and every time you you find a new way to do it

I'm a professional. Yeah, I'm a professional. Hi John. Hi John. Hi John. Sometimes you you sound like really in it. Sometimes you're like, Hey, this is a problem with

I'm still ill. Um, much like the Smith song. I, uh, there's a problem with humor and probably one of the problems with humor, especially when you're trying to make humor, is that more is not always better unless you really know what you're doing.

I see what you're saying. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, it's a self-admission if I could say so. I got to be careful because you know, it turns into, you know, what Wackety, how could you shmackety umbrellas inside having a crazy time, family fun, comedy hour, you know. Yeah, you know, yeah, but you know, we don't do that. No, think, but I love this real in another life. Yes, imagine you and I being paired in life.

Like a like a Richmond, Virginia morning DJ team. I'm listening. Right. Right. Think about that. Like an Eastern seaboard. Uh, you know, I 95 corridor. Oh, I think I got it. I think it's Steven John in the rebel.

Steven John in the rebel in the morning. Yeah, in the morning. And you know, I'd be the rebel unless you want to be the rebel. No, no, you should be the rebel. Of course, I'll

Steven John. I would have my own version of my rebel yell would probably be on the soundboard. Oh, you mean, oh, you mean like a, like a sound effect, like a

Richmond Virginia isn't that the sea of the Confederacy. That's right. Yeah, that's right. And you'd hit the cart. And what would the rebel yell sound like?

See, that's the thing. According to the, the, the, the Ken Burns documentary. Yeah, I must say Ken Nordeen for some reason. He's the guy that did Ken Nordeen.

Ken Nordeen, I think didn't ask a fake commercials. Oh, okay. He also did this poem is about colors. Remember that? Colors. Colors. Colors. Um,

God for your life, when my shotgun scatters colors. Hey, hey, was that iced tea? I'm afraid it was iced tea.

A lot of people leave off the D, both the D's teas. So the sea more humor is not always better. Oh, I lost you.

Yeah, you're back. Oh, I never. I forgot to cut. We had a big, we had a, we had a big old broad smoky fart last week in the middle of the show.

Like a big technical error. And I, I totally forgot to cut it out. But I left thing, because I know what they say. A clit, a glitch. Yes. It was a clit.

Is that I have a lot of problems. I don't want to make a big deal out of it. But I, I'm still kind of getting over COVID.

It's, I'm so funny because like, oh, my God. I want to talk about the rubble. I like that bit we did about Richmond. That was funny. Usually there's a, if there's a glitch in the show, I usually hear about it from five or six people that

obviously listen to the show carefully enough to know that I'm the one that fixes tech problems. Oh, no, you're the one who listens more sadly. And a lot of people will write and say you

people know how to reach you. They'll say, will you tell Merlin? Yes. The following four things. What about it? Have you gotten any? Is there any chance any chance wild, wild chance that you've gotten some kind of a, I don't know, maybe one or two notices in the past, say three years from users of the Google and Android platform who say that our certificate is not correct on the website. Is there any chance anybody has ever mentioned that to you once? I have heard about our certificate. Yes. And I replied by saying I didn't get a

certificate. Oh, that's funny. You know what you did. You're saying it's on brand is a little cute. It's it's you do you. Mm-hmm. You know, but where's my, where's my white ribbon? Where's your white ribbon? That's the, that's the original rubble flag is the white. Oh, I see now I'm doing liberal humor. Do you like that? I don't go and full on Air America now. He's doing things in Congress. Oh, my goodness. Okay. So, okay. I was a fan of that kind of.

Radio when I was a child. I think we could do a good. Is there a way that we could, how does one say? Is there a way that we could pre-tape our morning show for more commodeous hour. I don't know what that hour would be between you and me because it really is no good hour for us to do anything. But it does strike me that at least when I was listening to the Q zoo in the morning on Q105, the place where they invented the morning zoo. I always did not know that. I did not know that. It's got Shannon. He essentially I, who knows today? Today, who knows? Who knows what gets recorded? You know, who lives, who dies? Who tells your morning zoo story?

Sure. But oh, God, I have so much thought. So you know, this amount of six to 10 drive time, John, six amps really early.

The amount of snotty is a band and Benjamin would have written me and said, I can't do the show. I don't have my vocal quality is not up to the standards. I can't, I'm afraid I can't do the show.
