I am Dave Smith. He is Robbie the Fire, Bernstein. I hope everybody's doing good out there.

How you doing, Rob? Coming to me from a hotel somewhere?

Yeah, I'm currently out in Charleston at the Fine Holiday and Express.

Let me say thus far, this town is overrated everyone

hikes charleston i will you do feel like a creep walking around here they got like a
