Hello and welcome back to Close Reeds here in the Circe Institute Podcast Network.

I'm David Kern and as always on Close Reeds, I'm joined by Angelina Stamford and Tim McIntosh.

Angelina and Tim, welcome back to the show. How's it going?

It's been so long, David, I've missed you. It's been three minutes

since we last tried to record and it didn't work. Third times a charm, but I feel, this is, okay,

this is just like the episode in the office where Pam won't let, won't let Michael talk on the

first time. You know, she always gives me two tries before she transit because the first two

always bad. I kept thinking of that during our first, just awful, awkward, talking about the weather

intro. So this one's going to be good. This one's going to be so good. Boom, boom. I'm ready. I'm going to

count on it. Tim, how are you? I'm great, David. David, how are you? I feel like you do

such a good job of asking us how we're doing. And sometimes I neglect to turn the question around.

You know, Tim had three times to practice that line. And it just, I'm not feeling it. You don't

believe it? Not feeling it. Hi, David. I'm fine feeling it. You don't believe it? Not feeling it.

Hi, David.

I'm fine.

Can we workshop that line?

Because I'm just not feeling it.

There's a lot of different ways one could offer that line out for an audience.

The whole like, good day, good day, sir?

Is it a good day?

Are you wishing me good day?

Tim, to answer your question, I'm doing well.
