Good morning. I wonder how you had a 2.0? Why was that about to come? I feel like you surprised

me by hitting play or hitting record. We were really in the middle of it and then you did

it. Well, the problem is, and we've learned this three years of podcasting together. Sometimes

we're doing pre-show like, hey, do you have your little, just a little organizational

things to make sure that this did not organized, still has some sort of measure, but sometimes

the show starts and when we forget to hit record and we're just chatting. Yeah, yeah, yeah,

yeah. And it's in that moment that I go, and then I just jam on the butt. That's right.

The better thing is for you to hit record and me not, and that's not I have to go three,

two, one. I don't know that we've ever done three, two, one. Oh, a countdown. Every time

I've ever gotten a countdown on a thing, it is terrifying. Oh, for sure. There's another

one, two, what? Me? Go. If they do it, two, one. You've done a lot of public speaking. I would

rather my ideal, what's your ideal way to enter into your first words of public speaking?

We know John A. Cuff is very serious about not reintroducing yourself. Hey, I'm Annie. Thanks,

guys, for having me because he's like, it's written down on whatever ticket they purchased.

Yes. It's on every banner and someone just introduced you. And so to me, my favorite thing

is if the person introducing me is if there's a person, if there's a video while the video's

running, walk out as soon as the video's done, you're there. If a person's introducing

me, I like to join them there. And then as soon as they're finished, I start. It's

that lap, that lapping time of ladies and gentlemen, welcome Annie F. Downs. And then I

come from behind the stage and you know, from the week and there's an 18 second walk for

me. And I passed past Johnny as he's exiting and we high five or fist pumper just wave

now in the days of COVID-19 or embrace a long embrace. Yeah, yeah, yeah, in front of everybody.
