Hello everybody. Welcome to Hermes Sapiens. I have got a wonderful co-host with me. I've got Dr. Randange sitting with me here today. And for those on video, we'll know that I've not only got Dr. Rantz, I've got a very, very big Andy Warhol print of Marilyn Monroe with Rant. How are you, Rand? I'm all good.

obviously. I love it. It's such a quirky building. And it's got so much history. And I wanted to
