Oh, welcome back.

Are you kidding me?

Happy birthday to Eric and his dad.

Wow, Albin, you know something, the fact that you thought about baking something and then actually did not follow through and bake it means so much to me.

I just want to say about my heart. I baked this Pillsbury toaster strudel. I did. Yeah,

I did. You toast it yourself at least? Did you like the candles with your own little hands?

I did. That's so sweet of you. Okay, ladies and gentlemen, if you're just tuning in, today is my

birthday. And most importantly, it's my father's birthday. Today is Nick Metaxus's 95th birthday. As I said in the previous hour, we were with him and my mom

over the weekend. I helped him in the garden. You know, my dad has been, I mean, he's officially like

a master gardener in Connecticut. He took the course. So he's like a master gardener. He's been

gardening like crazy since we got the house 50 years ago, literally.

And but now it's tough for him to get around. He does, but it's tough. And so yesterday I helped him

plant 16, uh, egg plant plants. Wow. Yeah. I use the hoe and I realize when I'm using the hoe and like doing this stuff,

like I only know how to do it because I've watched him do it over the years.

So, but I did that with him yesterday.

That's a good thing you worked on your pecks because I'm sure you're shirtless when you do this

whole. Let me tell you something, my friend, my goal for the year,

now that I'm getting up there in years, long in the tooth, okay?
