Hello friends and welcome to another Robcast. I am in Malibu today with Adam Skolnik.

Adam, welcome to the Robcast. Thank you so much. It's great to be here, especially right here.

We are on a cliff at, is it big do? Yes.

And then little doom is just south along the water. We're in Malibu on top of a cliff

overlooking the ocean, the Robcast is on location friends.
