are come on in everybody it's really good to see you this morning while all the lazy podcasters

leap in or go to church or go to the gym or whatever they're doing but they're not doing this

and aren't you glad I'm here? Yeah.

So before we get going, let me tell you, you know, it's the best thing in the world.

Getting up at 4 a.m. I love getting up early.

Sitting there with a big cup of coffee, steaming cup of coffee.

And then starting to look at the news today.

I love that.

But recently, I realized that it's even better when you've got a flannel blanket on your lap

and a cat is purring and loving its time sitting on your lap while you're working

while working it's not really even work but when you've got that delicious cup of coffee but then

today i discovered something better than a cup of coffee at 4 a.m. with a cat on your lap on a flannel blanket.

Two cats. I had two cats fighting for position on my lap. Well, it became sort of a catastrophe because one of those cats got dangerously close to the large cup of coffee.

And I said to myself, well, if there's one thing I won't avoid, it would be a cat knocking

over that very large, still totally full cup of coffee on my desk

area, and all over my cables and every kind of electronic that I've ever owned. And so I said to

myself, well, I'll eliminate that possibility by lifting the cat with one hand while I hold the other cat from

maybe getting into the same nonsense and so I try to lift the cat with one hand and well there

was a struggle one of the cat's legs spazzed out in a cat-like fashion, perfectly striking the large cup of coffee off its

coffee warmer. So, yeah, a little bit of height on the coffee warmer. And somehow,

managed to drench coffee in what I would generously estimate is maybe one to two acres of my office.

Oh my God, it was a catastrophe.
