Oh, boy, welcome back. Wait.

Now, a classic setup.

You tricked me, sir.

I did trick you. I'm a trickster.

Right before we rolled, Paul F. Tumpkins, who is one of the hosts of Star Trek the Pod

directive, which you're listening to, told me, Tony Newsom, who's one of the other hosts of Star Trek the Pod Directive,

which you're not listening to, he said, why don't you kick it off? And then I tried to kick it off.

And he did a classic switcheroo, and he also kicked it off. It's my favorite prank of all time. I'm, I'm, I'm just like a, a prankster.

It's my absolute favorite to be doing,

to be co-hosting a podcast,

tell my co-host to start.

And then I start talking when they start talking.

It's my favorite prank in the world.

Do you have other pranks?

Because that seems like,

it just doesn't seem like your best.

You know, a bucket of water over the door jam? That's a, that's a classic.

That's dangerous is what that is. Nobody thinks about how heavy the bucket is in those cartoons.

Yeah, you are, you are counting on the fact that the bucket is going to turn over perfectly.

And of course, the water comes down.

Then the bucket comes down perfectly over the person's head.

But more often than not, what's happening is a very heavy object is just crashing down
