Well, this is weird. Look at us live streaming at a very, very normal hour, eyes wide open

because I'm not half asleep. I'm at the beach because that's where you go when there's a

massive snowstorm coming. My first thought was massive snowstorm coming.

Let's go to the beach, everybody.

Good morning.

Welcome to the Opio podcast.

That's my friend Ron the waiter.

Ron Berman, comedy on all the socials.
