Greetings and welcome. My name is Brand. So glad you're here. Sherry is here, too. She's the show's producer. If you're new to the show, and we know a lot of people are out of their normal routines, so if you listen to this, you know, what in the world is this with these people? We understand you're not to first ask that question. Totally. And we have heard from a lot of people, a lot. And I continue to. One yesterday. Hated you at first. But now I like you guys. And it does sting a little bit. It seems a little bit. But ultimately it's redeemed at the end by the but now I. Yes, the but now. There's some sting there. So that's real. But thank you for your patience with us. We are a little bit different. Sherry's got a big laugh. I have a very dry sense of humor. It's all kind of strange at first. But then hopefully we can be your friends, quarantine friends, even now. Daily walks are now a really big thing. Not a big shock. how's your walking thing going is it been good for you

yes it has i really am glad that i'm able to do it and it really has helped it you know i was going to

the gym all the time yeah and this is really i may like it even more well do you are you on the phone

the whole time i am not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not not. No, I know. I saw your face. Yeah, there was no question mark there. It was actually a period. So you're on the phone all the time. No. I just think that's so great. Again, it's not your natural personality. So connected and whatnot for you to go. That be quite, but apparently, catch down with a lot of people.

Me too, I'm more and more into it.

And the other thing, too, look for how many of us we needed something to happen.

Honestly, I'm not saying it's worth it or all that calculus or whatever, but the truth is a lot of us start the day with, what does CNN have for me

today? What does Fox News have? What does MSNBC have for me? And this is going to sound like such

a religious thing to say, but honestly, it's a great, like God, what do you have for me today?

What have you got? And how do I receive that if I'm never quiet this is a great question for

right now for normal people I mean I don't I don't really know ever how to get off the phone

but a guy pointed this out like how do you get off the phone now if you're not busy because

you don't have anything else to do you're like well, well, I got to go to the living room.

No, you don't.

And I've said to my introvert friends who usually try to get me off the phone. Well, let me go ahead and go, where? I've said it. Where are you going? You're not going anywhere. You're not going anywhere right here on this phone. You're not going anywhere. No, you don't go.

Yeah, I got it.

I got it.

Uh-uh.

Go up their stairs. You're not going anywhere. No, you don't go. Yeah, I got it.

I got it. I go up the stairs and then back down. A lot of people are like, hey, Brian, are you a shock? I'm like, yeah. They're like, cool. Hey, we'll listen to the show. We're going to let people know all about the show. Really? I've never heard that. And they're like, but you're rated G, right?
