I'm doing pretty well. We're in kind of a weird week here. We recorded episode 196 just a couple of days ago and then since both of us are traveling next week, we were holding on to this really exciting chat where we're going to be debuting here today and so now we're just kind of getting around to the kind of the intro and outro stuff so
