Hi, my name is Steve Kuggen.

And I feel I wouldn't say ambivalent about being a co-owner of Ransfren.

That wouldn't quite capture it.

I say that I'm a quietly optimistic.

Farl is more here than now, back to school, ring the bell, brand new shoes, walking loose, climb the fence, books and pans.

I can tell that we are going to be friends.

Hey there and welcome to Conan O'Brien Needs A Friend.

This is an interesting situation we are in.

Today's podcast, the interview, was recorded several weeks ago, before everybody went into self-quarantine, social distancing, lockdown, whatever you want to call it.

But today's introduction, which you're listening to right now, is being taped in my home.

I am on a Zoom hookup linkup with my regular gang, Sonna Mossessian, my trustee assistant.

Hello Sonna.

Hi.

Are you in Armenia?

Where are you Sonna?

I'm not in Armenia.

I'm in Los Angeles, California, where I live.

I was only asking because a lot of people in times of crisis returned to their homeland and I thought maybe you had gone with your family back to your native Armenia.

No, my family never lived in Armenia, so we would never return there, also that you had a terrible time to fly.

I thought you would probably take the ship that you took over here.

You thought I came here on a ship?
