Hello. Hi John. Hi John. Hi, Merlin. How's it going? Good. I just have some mouth noises to make here.

Top of the top of the set.

It's the season.

It's the mouth noise season.

Yeah. Do you drink a lot of water?

I do, you know, when I was when I was young i couldn't stand water me neither hated it

yeah hated it and then uh... somehow somewhere along the line i got

my sister and my sister in particular is a real water sort of pusher and and somewhere along the line I got I got a taste for it and now I probably drink a half gallon of it.

Just just every a half gallon of it. Just every time I walk past the sink I'm I chug a big glass of water. And I mean I love it. I can't get enough of it.

That's pretty much exactly my experience. I wonder if part of it, two things. One of my palette developed from just wanting a 12 pack of Coke a day. And then the other thing is that as you're going Wow, that's well you're really on a tear.

Yeah go ahead I'm listening.

Let's see I think there's other any we missed just because of mic placement what about

lip smacking no we did that cover you she'd get an SN 57 on that red leather

chair oh put up on the chair mike yeah and then do a Chris Wallach, get a room mic with a trigger,

so you get that kind of David Bowie-Lo thing.

When it's a real, when it's a real dinger.

Our chairs both make noises.

Let me see what I'm going to do mine.

Oh, I've a very, have you ever seen the photograph of my chair?

I'm not sure.

You remember. I read all the magazines.

You'd remember.
