Host.

Akiva, can I just say something I've noticed?

Yeah.

Ever since you got COVID, put you on Front Street, the way your hair and face looks to me is when we were younger. Like you look the way that we looked when we lived in LA before we got us to know. That's right. So

Andy are you saying that maybe one of Akiva's symptoms is that COVID for

him is like a fountain of youth? I think it's entirely possible. There's a lot of new variants we don't know what the

side effects are. Yeah, you don't know what they do. Yeah, and that is a great way of phrasing it too because it's not

making light of any of the previous variants.

They have caused awful, awful harm to the world.

Yeah, this is more, we're moving on

while acknowledging that happened.

We're also moving on and saying

there might be a whole new chapter where it's just a time machine back 20 years.

It's like what if contagion was a happy movie you know?

Yeah that was how was originally pitched.

There's this virus, and it makes everyone look younger and do podcasts.

Now, Andy, since we're talking about how, and again, we're very cognizant of the fact that this is a non-visual medium, but can I make an observation about you, Andy?

Yes, please. You show up on screen every time we do one of these podcasts,

like you've just emerged from a cave for a year.

You look in the screen like you've never seen a computer before.
