Hey there, buddy.

How are you?

Good.

How are you?

You been making any drug references with my name?

A little crack.

That was last week.

At the L.A. Convention Center, thank God you were the buffer between me and it says it feels like a year ago it feels like a different lifetime i'm telling you nothing against

l.A i said it earlier this week the difference between pittsburgh and l.A. is like the difference between

two planets it's a rocket ship not a plane flight between those two different worlds.

And with each passing hour, it feels like it wasn't just something that happened a long time ago.

It was like some sort of a dream state that I was injected into. And by Monday, I may not even be completely sure it actually happened, Shereen. But welcome back. We know what's happening now. It's two hours of PFT live on a Friday morning. Thank you for getting up a little early because it's 6 o'clock your time. I've mastered the time zones after a week in the Pacific zone. But thank you for doing this. And great to see you. And let's have some fun today.

Yeah, let's do.

At least we're not on the West Coast, Mike.

Four o'clock would be a little bit early this.

It's still early for me, but four would be worse.

Well, you know, I actually tried to stay on East Coast time most of the week.

And it was a good idea until my weekly visit with the folks at w fn z in charlotte at 6.15 a.m. Eastern came around and my phone rang at 3.15 a.m. Pacific.

That was when I that was when the guy that had to do that was cursing the guy who decided a week earlier.

What the hell?

What the hell?

Just get up and do it and go back to sleep.
