Mr. Sherry's job is to pretty much thwart whatever I try to bring to the table. I'm not here to thwart. I'm here to make sure everything makes sense to the audience, which is what

we want, right? We want it to all make sense. I don't think it's bad. You're like the goalie on

a hockey team. Except you block your own team. So it's a little different. Well, that's one way

to think of that. Yeah, but I appreciate your filtered. There, I like that. I'm a filter.

She filters. We're all happy for that. I'm a filter. He filters.

Very good.

We're all happy for that.

Maybe you can relate to this.

Maybe you can't, but maybe you will.

We're having to get rid of a bunch of stuff, partially because our last kid, we had two kids and we're going to be empty nesters in weeks.

And my wife and I are really having a hard time with us. It was yesterday. It was the whiteboard. We have to take our whiteboard down. She's like, well, I guess we could sell it. Well, we've used that whiteboard for family info. Yes, when I come over there, I see what's going on in a Hanson household. Yeah, it's all scheduled in different colors for different people and we're like well we won't really need that anymore but the problem is it's not just the whiteboard's everything yeah everything you're running well guess we should get rid of that it's i can't stand this well you're starting a new adventure yeah you know it's. It's what we keep telling ourselves, Sue. We keep saying that. Thank you for saying. It'll kick in there. I know. I know, but I tell you, it's hard. And I say this, too, not just for you if you're like, well, someday you'll be married and your kids will leave if you have kids or whatever. Not that. But even as let's say you're 1617 listening to this just realize it's not just you it's all the trappings of your entire life

yeah like you're like hey i'm going to college or i'm going moving away awesome um but it's all this stuff

that reminds us of you not just now but all the way it is so tense right now on our program because we've got an entire alien planet at stake

based on whether or not Alessandra can answer a question.

You ready for this?

Sure.

Just pray for them because I may or may not get this right.

Okay.

We'll start intercession.

I think they're crying now that they heard you say that.

I'll get a little divine intervention going on here.

Yeah.
