Hello. Hello. How are you? Well, I'm great. Dan. How are you doing good? Happy belated birthday to you. Oh, thank you. Happy afternoon to you. Thank you. Thank you so much for thinking of me.

Hmm. Do you have a good lunch? Yes. Last minute, last minute lunch. Still just getting everything sorted. You had a big move. Yeah, we had our lease was up.

And what a pain. Get out of there. Now, did you just, I mean, if you can say, did you just, you, did you want a different place that place wasn't working out?

No, that place was not, that was not the best. That place was the best. And it was, you know, one of the things I think is tough to do is to look back on a decision you've made and say that was a huge error, but that was a huge error that place was wrong for so many reasons.

And this is a much, much better situation. And in the process of moving, I purged so much stuff because it's something I've been doing at home.

And I continued it to the office that I have and just got, I got rid of so much stuff donated it sold it just got it out of there. And what, what a difference you feel like a thousand pounds lighter as a human being. It's kind of amazing.

Yeah, you should talk about that. You, you, you are in preparing for this episode. You have many, many topics for today. I'm very excited.

I've had, I've had time to reflect on 299 episodes and thought back. And so, yeah, I came up, I came up with some ideas, but I know we have some feedback. And there've been some very good emails coming through to that we should probably spend time responding.

I don't even go anywhere you want to go. The, yeah, it sounds like you, I noticed you were, had lots of stuff. So how do you sound or shoes? It looks like you were getting rid of some, some equipment. I think she sold them too.

Yeah, that's like there are people who will buy lady shoes. I'm pretty sure. Yeah, yeah, some of them, some of those people are women too, I think.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

The internet is a weird place. You know, everybody's welcome. Haku no Matata.

You know, yeah, yeah. So, so go anywhere you want. We could talk more about your purge. That's a, that's a very interesting topic. We, we did a little bit of purging recently. And I had to exact same feeling.

Tell me about it. What did you do?

What did we do? I mean, it's not particularly interesting, but basically in our house, we've got a, the primary closet my wife and I use is really, really big considering the size of our flat.

But it was sort of it became, there's, you know, there's those places in the house. I think maybe the most notorious place in the house is like a table near the door or a counter.

We're like, once you put one thing on it, it just becomes where you put everything. We have one of those.

Yeah, start selling. I'm just going to put my vitamins in my toaster here or nothing else. And then you put down one safe way of fire and pretty things like.

Yes, yes, it's totally covered. You go dead to everything. And I think, I mean, I, I realize I'm, I'm much more pathological than most people in a variety of ways. But we have places in our house because we have a limited amount of space.

But I mean, I think like everybody, you have these places that become a junk sink. And no matter who you are, how much you've got mostly, I think if you're a typical middle class American, you've got more stuff than you need.

And then you've got stuff you haven't made a decision about. You got stuff that you just need out of the way.

And so we have a few of those junk sinks. And I'm using that I think kind of in the same way I use the term like heat sink. It's like where the junk goes. It's where the junk ends up and it can clog the sink.
