I am Brandon Walker, joined to my immediate right by the very present.

Hello, Mr. Ben Mintz.

How are you, Brandon?

I'm average.

Thank you for asking.

Ben, to my left, from what I understand, maybe, this is just a rumor, maybe he was

planning on taking a vacation this week, and because of certain circumstances, he decided that he

wanted to have a sit down, he wanted to face some things head on. Big Ev, it's to my left. Hello,

Big Ev. Are those rumors accurate at all? They are. I was supposed to leave for vacation Saturday. I'm here. I'm here.

I don't run from things. I'm when I have a problem with somebody or something in general,

I face it head on. I'm here. I'd like to say that's commendable for a showing up to work

when it's your job to show up to work. That's fantastic. And for when somebody walks in the room that you don't agree with or you don't like, maybe, you don't run out of the room. I appreciate that. I'm here. I'm not saying that as far as anybody else goes. I'm saying that's what I appreciate about you. Thank you, Brandon. And to the far right, much, much skinnier than we last saw him. Of course course we never saw him when he worked here his

name is jeff nadoo he is back in the building the big man on campus is now the big man on
