from somewhere in Santa Clarita County, this is obscure season two Frankenstein.

I am your host, your friend, your ear lover,

your literary mansplainer in chief

and Georgianologist Michael Ian Black.

I am in Santa Clarita County at a Hyatt in a bubble.

That's right, I'm in a bubble, an official showbiz bubble.

Look, I hope we have bubble sound effects to put in here

as I describe what I'm doing.

I'm shooting one of my favorite television shows Reno 911. They're coming back their I don't know how many they've done like 50 seasons this it's on Quibi now

You've never you've never seen Quibi nobody has but they're still making Reno so I'm happy

I'm gonna shoot several episodes over the

course of the next two weeks and for the next two weeks I'm going to be in a Reno

bubble and you know so far so good I here yesterday, been hanging out at the Hyatt. I'm not allowed to really leave the Hyatt.

I'm not really allowed to do anything other than be at the Hyatt when I'm not working and I'm not going to be working that much.

So it's going to be a lot of down time for me here in

Valencia but that's okay I mean I have things to do I have so much to do you guys I have chapters of Frankenstein to read and you know we got a long way to go in this book. I generally only record about once a week because I like to stay kind of current with what's

going on in the world just in case something from the world should intrude on my own

commentary of the book. For example, what I'm hearing right now through my glass sliding doors that lead out to the little balcony that I have here at the Hyatt are the sounds of children

frolicing, cavorting, and playing in the swimming pool.

I guess you can you can still have swimming pools during a pandemic.

I don't know. I mean maybe maybe they're probably related these kids.

But it puts me in mind of the two young charges in our literary journey right now,
