Hey, Howard.

It's been a while since we've been on the pod together.

It has been.

I think the last episode was when he squashed the beef. Has it been that long? I really think it has. Good thing we squashed it. We would have been angry at each other for me. No, no, no, no, no. We're not angry. You're looking tan. I literally, literally just finished a run before this podcast.

I thought, well, first and foremost, we're cutting this on a Monday.
