Hi John.

Hi, I'm Merlin.

How's it going?

It's good.

I still have my same problem of not being able to hear myself in my headphones, but I can hear

you loud and clear.

Oh, should we try and run that down?

No, no, it's just it's just one of those American problems.

One of those American problems. Yeah, you know in Europe they don't have these problems.

Really? Oh I'm probably sure because of the the old

oldness of the land well the old ways but also you know they're early adopters of new

technologies you know what I mean like yeah yeah yeah

so I'm just you know I'm just out here in the West the Wild West just sort of suffering through, just muddling through.

Well, yeah, yeah, that's it.

I feel bad for you, man.

You can't even, I mean, our listeners get to hear what you sound like, but you don't.

You know, it's's funny the lack of

feedback in terms of being able to hear yourself amplified even though I can hear

myself fine I'm here in the room with myself. Yes.

It's just, it's a little bit, it's just makes you wonder, you know, am I doing a good job?

Is this good enough?

Am I good enough? Am I good enough? Am I good enough? I was thinking more of the inconvenience. I have a very low tolerance for inconvenience. I don't need to talk about it publicly, but. Yeah, yeah, I know. You know, am I Boris Goodenoff?
