Michael, thank you so much for chatting with me today.

Thank you, Scott.

Thank you for inviting me.

Where does one even begin with someone like you?

I will say this.

I've long said, people said, well, who's your two dream dinner guests, you know, if you

could pick anyone in the world, you know, the people have that thought experiment.

I say, Michael Jordan, neighbor, him, Maslow.

And you're actually someone who's existence intertwined with both of their existence.

It's unfathomable to me.

It's almost like a dream, a dream come true that someone could actually do that.

And you're no slouch yourself.
