Well, hey, can you hear me?

I hear myself.

Joe Bartlett, can you hear me?

You're back, Mark.

That's the new slogan of the station.

Can you hear me?

Something happened in there.

That's why you heard all those commercials.

I was about to go on in the studio.

Over all the monitors, I hear.

Oh, wow.

And then we went out, and guess where I am now?

A different studio?

Well, no, there wasn't time to switch studios,

and I guess we'll have to do that at some point. I'm sitting in the control room, in the back of the control room right now. The studio's there, and then on the other side of the glass, here's the control room, where you have the engineer, the screener, the producer. That's more important that they have microphones. Well, they have microphones in here, so I'm on this microphone, annoying the hell out of everybody.

Even Izzy,

now I'm in the control room. They've got to pretend like they're listening. Izzy's a good guy. Yeah, no, no, no. But listen, let's be honest. You work on the show. What are you going to listen to the whole thing for two hours? You're watching TV. You're reading your book. You're looking at your phone. but I'm in here now.

You've got to pretend like you're listening.

Like, this is interesting to you.

It's a problem. TV, you're reading your book, you're looking at your phone. But I'm in here now. You've got to pretend like you're listening, like this is interesting.

It's a problem.

So, hopefully we'll get this fixed.
