We're back. We're back. It's a deadcast. I'm Drew. That's Roth. Roth, I have taken time out from my

leisurely sabbatical to join you here on the podcast. So I just want the expected amount of

gratitude from you. I don't even know if I could express it. You sound, I wouldn't say rested. I've grown a beard. I've gotten glasses. I have a tweet coat with leather patches on the elbows. Curvet's a look I've always advocated for you for a long time. That and a perm. And if you don't get the perm, I mean, it's like how many more weeks are in the sabbatical?

Yeah, you'd go crazier. If that was the idea of, like, the sabbatical is actually, like, you just live in a cottage for, like, a month. Like, you would, the thing that you'd write would be completely insane. It might be interesting,

but it would also be,

yeah,

that's not,

you need to be in Slack,

sharing,

uh,

sharing bad tweets and shit.
