Yeah, the phones. It's someone should be speaking to you directly. Oh, yeah, they're on the other end. I can hear papers shuffling around.

You just leave me alone in this with all of these.

Hello.

I'm in the office right across the hall. So when you're through speaking to them, let me know and I'll make sure we drop our lines.

Okay.

Somebody should talk to you here in a second. Hello. Hello. Hi, it's Christopher. Hello, Christopher.

You're not really alone. Okay.

I hope you haven't been. Have you been watching that stream from University of Illinois?

Or did you get to see that? No, what is it?

Oh, well, I gave it to Jodie. Oh, yes, I did. Oh, yeah. Is that where that was? No, I was listening to part of it.

Okay. Well, I'm sorry. There were lots of ums and ahs in it because I just flowed in from Europe and I was really exhausted.

It was, it was a dreadfully long and tedious lecture, I think. Well, I didn't, I didn't listen to the whole thing.

I'd really done all my, I'd done most of my preparing and I, I had it in the background as I was arranging my notes.

So it was fine. I got a couple of new things out of it, but okay, great. No need to apologize.

Is it all set up? I got a guy here who's, who's nodding his head rather than shaking his head.

Um, where am I supposed to be relative to this microphone? Can I be anywhere or?

I would speak directly on mic if you can't just, you know, like, like, yeah, you're fine right there.

Light here. Just don't get off side of the mic. If you get off access, they'll, they'll have a hard time here.

Okay. So just stay in front of it.

All right. Okay. Well, I'm all yours.

Okay. Great. Um, I think you sound good. Mitch, do you, um, do you want us to, to say, to talk about what he had for breakfast to get, are you all right?

Um, Mary had, Mary had a little lamb. Oh, nobody could figure out how Mary had a little lamb.
