Oh, hi. Hi, it's Monday June 15th. I hope you all had good weekends. Yesterday,

our whole family went for a long bike ride through the pine barons, just miles and

miles of nothing but these old pine trees. It made me think about how long the

forests have been here. Mom says the trees started growing in New Jersey 12,000 years ago.

Think about how much has happened in that time.

I liked how that made me feel because even though sometimes this quarantine felt like it's

lasted 12,000 years it's just a little blip in history, hopefully in our lives too. Some listeners celebrated their

birthdays over the weekend, so happy birthday from Caroline to her sister,

happy birthday Kobe, who turned eight, and Chloe's mom who turned, whatever she turned.

And today, Happy Birthday Jesse, shout up to his brothers Jake and Josh, and to Morgan who turned 12 and Daphne, who is 13.

I'd also like to give a special shout out to a great listener named

to Kennedy in Utah.

Her dad is working really hard as a health care provider.

Kennedy, I know you haven't had the easiest time,

so I just wanted to say, thank you so much for listening

and you're not alone.

You know what else Alex and I spent the weekend doing?

Trying to get in touch with Gabriel Augustine.

Who's also apparently known as George Anders? Yeah, so when we asked him about that on Friday, he instantly hung up the phone and has not answered since then.

Sounds like he wasn't expecting us to find out.

Yeah, but find out what exactly.

That he came up with the idea for six minutes?
