Hello, Andrew Day.

Hey, Bob.

How are you?

What have you been doing today?

Well, I've been talking to you about the earthling.

Oh, that's right.

That's right.

I remember you. And I went on a nice walk in the woods. There were no bears today. I used to tell you whenever I would see a bear, I don't do that anymore. It just happens too commonly now. Really? Now I'll just tell you when I don't see a bear in the woods, which are the occasions when I can actually take my dog for a look there.

Hmm. Our neighborhood has been overtaken by foxes. This happened during the pandemic. And I don't know if it's related. Like there were fewer pedestrians around, so they just figured now is our chance. But they're, and they're incredibly audacious. Like, I was walking down the sidewalk. And there's this, this fox walking on the sidewalk directly at me. And I'm thinking, well, surely he will yield the right away, right? And like, he just walks directly past me, looks up to me, like, what the fuck are you doing here? No respect.

No respect. And, you know, when I was a boy, Fox has treated us with great respect. That's one of the many things changed in this country. Right. So, yeah, we were, today, we've been working

to get out the non-zero newsletter. and this is the non-zero podcast.

And it's kind of a long newsletter.

I guess there's a lot of stuff going on.

And this is the, this is Earthling Unplugged, where we talk about the contents of the newsletter.

And we are going to talk about those.

I did want to, before we get to those, which include things like the possibly imminent Iranian retaliation against Israel.

And include, you know, Mark Andresen and a lot of things, techno optimism.

I actually wanted to talk about something that's not in a newsletter, which is O.J. Simpson.

Mm-hmm.

Because, you know, I was, he did die.

Mm-hmm.
