Hello, everybody. Dennis and Julie are now temporarily Sean and Julie. Hi, everyone. I'm Julie Hartman. Sean McConnell here.

Sean and Julie. It's great to be with you. We're so sorry that we missed a few episodes.

As many of you know by now, there have been terrible, terrible wildfires ravaging Southern

California. And unfortunately, those wildfires particularly affected the two

people who you are looking at right now, especially the one right in front of me. Sean,

And like you, my parents' house survived.
