Welcome, welcome, welcome to armchair expert experts on expert. I'm Dan Rather and I'm joined by Mrs. Mouse. Hello there. Hello, an old friend is here today. Yes, and not only did we get to do it in person this time. Dr.

Vivek Morthy, our surgeon general, who we've had once on before, but it was over zoom. It was. We got him in person in his full regalia. Yes, in his admirals outfit. It was so cool.

He, of course, Dr. Vivek Morthy is a physician and a vice admiral in the United States Public Health Service Commission core who has served as the 19th and 21st Surgeon General of United States.

He has a beautiful book out right now called Together, the Healing Power of Human Connection in a sometimes lonely world. Additionally, he has a great podcast called House Calls. So please check out House Calls and the book together.

Now, very importantly, we have the new armchair anonymous prompts. These will also be on the website. Some people are confused where you find them, www.armchairexpertpod.com. And they are as follows. Tell us a time something crazy happened on Halloween.

We're excited. Tell us about a bad babysitting experience. What if I wrote in you could write everyone's had some about my children. Yeah, excluding Monica.

She can talk about other people's. Okay, so tell us about a bad babysitting experience. Number three, tell us about a crazy bartending story. You are the bartender in this story. Not you didn't like a bartender. No patrons.

No, although you can have been a patron, but you have to be a bartender. You can have been a patron in your life, but the story has to be you as a bartender. Exactly.

Number four, tell us a crazy piercing tattooing incident. Obviously the waxing story, which no one should listen to. We're going to repeat or we aim to repeat.

And hopefully no one will listen to that one either. So quickly, crazy thing on Halloween, crazy babysitting, crazy bartending, crazy piercing tattooing. Please go to the website and submit.

Please enjoy Dr. Vivek Morthy.

I want to start with an apology. What?

Because during our last interview and then subsequently two or three hundred times, I've called you Vivek and it's Vivek. It's Vivek actually.

That makes sense. That makes sense because he said that one more time. So Vivek, it rhymes at lake or bake. Vivek, yeah, perfect. I don't think I'd like how the pronunciation was printed from our.

Did it say E. E. K. Okay, yeah, we're going to get that wrong phonetics.

And then that's all that don't worry. More team not murthy. So as if it was spelled M O O R.

Yeah, oh my god. I like a cow moves move. Yes. Last time we spoke, it was three months into quarantine. Yes.

And you're at your sister's house in Miami. Gosh, you were set up. I revisited some stuff in preparation.

But yes, you were sitting in a room. You're a little boy who was then three entered. You want to pop off the computer?

And you had this beautiful scenery behind you this yard, which you'd later told us had been decorated or horticulture to resemble India. There was Jack fruit trees.

Yeah, lots of mango trees. Yeah, I think that interview for me is quite seared in my mind. And probably yours, Monica, because we had just started doing Zoom interviews.

And I was delighted with that one. I was very nervous about the transition.
