Hello. Hello, Merlin. Good morning, Dan. How are you? I'm fine. How are you? Oh, you know, pretty good. Yeah, everything everything cool over there.

It's the show has gotten so early. Is it seem earlier to you? I mean, it is earlier. I'm doing everything later now. Oh, we can move the show later. Do later.

No, I don't want to step on your lunch. I

My problem now is that like I now wake up at a solid like 745. Yeah. And then I have to be amplified to rock at 830. Right. That's so close. Let's you know, push it, push it later. Do it later. We'll talk. We'll talk about it. See, but also, but I also don't want to reject the idea that it might make the show better than I'm not with it.

You know, what do you use it? Let's use it. You license it. Right. You're actually should user avoid what do you say? Use in this case. I think, yes, I think you use now. Are you recording my side by any chance as well today? Yeah.

Call recorder is getting your side. Okay. Send that to me too, because I did a little, you know, I'm always I hate to make any changes. Change is bad. Marlon, you know this. And so I made it.

And so I made a change without wanting to. And so I like to have a backup. I like to have a backup. You're so mysterious. What what did you do? Oh, you got a new picture in Skype. It looks like you're, looks like you're trying to talk to a pen. I am talking to the pen. That's.

So, you know, let me let me sell you this pan. I penny my name is damn not pennies boat. Not pennies boat. We have a man on your boat. That's right. That's a. That's what you used to say. Well, that's, you know, but whenever my, uh, our baby made a dookie. He said, oh, I got a man on the boat.

And we wait five or six hours. I got stuff to do. I got seven or three folders. For us, it was a fight. And, uh, and one of them, I won't say who? Because, you know, they, they don't want to be embarrassed. But one of them, when you would tell them it was time to change them, they would say, no, I keep it.

Oh, I keep it. And this was only a couple of couple of weeks ago. So it's your wife. It's your wife. That's true.

Daniel, I know mommy made a dookie. So it's up way up there. What's up? Uh, the boo boo. Oh, God, Dan. Everything's everything's getting later. Um, anyway, um, you know, what's going on? Why I don't know what's going on? I'm very, very worried again about the, you know, the COVID. Very worried. Well, you have family.

I do. Um, and up until fairly recently, I've been, uh, optimistic is the wrong word. I've been doing a lot of magical thinking, you know, checking in with mom and making sure she's being good. And like everybody, you know, she's pretty restless.

And she's pretty sick of this. And most of all, she's really bored that it's all the people talk about on TV. But so far, so good. But Florida is not looking great. Let me ask you this. I don't know if I've ever, have I ever directly asked you this? How closely do you follow this topic?

I mean, you know, closely in the sense that I read about it frequently. I read about it more than once.

I was going to guess that you follow it less than most of my friends. It seems like this is not the kind of thing where you're going to obsess over it all day long.

No, not at all because I, I don't feel like there's very much. And this is a good topic, actually. I don't feel Merlin. Maybe you feel differently.

I don't feel like there's a damn thing I could do about it. And with things that I can't do anything about,

I try not to dwell on it because I wind up, I find that I will go down a spiral if I do that. And so for my own kind of mental health,

I have to, I have to disconnect to a certain degree because like I can, I can read about it and be informed about it and watch things on it.

And after all of that, I'm still in the same exact spot that I was in before, which is I can't do a damn thing about it.

I mean, I can, I can do the things that I'm told help help myself and other people. So I do all of those things.

Whether it's social distancing or wearing a mask or, you know, whatever. And I, so I do, I do all of that.
