But yeah, it's a tough thing. It's a tough thing to go from teaching and learning and being embroiled in that to producing. Yeah, there's there's a certain amount of like, hunting pressure that's on you and you've worked, in a corporation or some type of pressure environment, like, it forces you to hone your skills. It does. And it forces you to think a certain way.

You think about how to design this like how to build it from the get go. So it's actually kind of working. Right, right. Yeah. And just from a pure academic mindset, you usually don't, you know, you're not necessarily going to hone that on that ability. Yeah. Because you've never had to. Yeah. You've got you've got a playground in essence and an intellectual, you know, area where you can experiment and play, but you just don't have, like you said, that is, constraints create art.

Okay. Yeah. As an academic, you have way less constraints. Great point. Morning. Yeah. And also, there's a bit of a dunning Kruger going on there, right? So, like, and you conceptually understand, right. Like, you conceptually understand what you're doing. Yeah. But you don't really have the practical application skills. That's it. You know, so that I can see where you'd have this natural overestimation of your abilities.

Well, yeah. Well, it's an inherent I mean, really, that's that's it. It's, you know, and then when you confront the moment of doing, you realize you don't know. Yeah. Or you're you're you're so convinced that you do know that you, just blame other factors for why you're not successful. There we go. And stay kind of blind to the reality.

Maybe, maybe add a habit or two to, you know, to your, repertoire so you can, not think about it as much. Yeah, I think a lot of people in that mode that just fail consistently because they have overestimated their capabilities. I think what happens is that they, habitually find other reasons why things aren't working.

Yeah. And never, never see the common denominator of themselves. Right. You know, like, if if you have, like, the same type of, person to enter a relationship with consistently over and over and always ends in heartache and failure. Right. You know, and you could never have figured out that you're not picking the right people. You're habitually choosing, you know, a toxic person, for your personality type.

Right? But that's what you're used to so that you keep going through it. I mean, I feel this deeply, and I. Well, sometimes, you know, people in that situation never. They, they, they're suffering, not understanding their suffering. Well, yeah. And and, it comes down to you, you're so close to it, it's hard to necessarily have the objectivity.

Yeah. And then you have these, like, micro wins or micro successes in the process which reinforce that, you know, you're doing your perception that you're doing the right thing. Yeah. And that when you do that, it really inevitably fails. It's easy to point to other externalities. Now, though, I have to point out something, you know, that has to be that's difficult for a lot of people, too.

You're talking about academics crossing over into being practitioners. A lot of times practitioners can't, or individual contributors that are great at their job can't transition to academia. Totally, totally done that. They're great. They're great at their job, but they don't know how to articulate what they do. Yeah. Yeah, they can't articulate it. They can't, they can't teach it.

Speaking about it's one thing, but teaching it is definitely another. And you've honed over the years with various jobs. I mean, it's not just you taking the time to learn to teach various subjects and aspects of them, which, you know, that's an outlay of your own resources and energy there. I mean, that's cool. I think probably my best niche place would be like in a teaching, some type of teaching position.

Yeah, it'd be great. But, I wouldn't I've actually kind of looked into doing, like corporate training jobs, because I've done that for so long. Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Didn't you do that one point? Yeah, I did it for, like, four years. Yeah. And, remember I told you that's like. That's like what?

What tainted my vision? My whole point of view of humanity. Right? This. Well, so, you know, I was I was working out all the time. Back then. Yeah, I was, like, in really good shape. I was playing ice hockey, like, I think on average, like, three nights a week. You were telling me that, you know, a lot of people would take the opportunity to get on you.

Oh, yeah. You'd be like, in this some some corporation would have a training thing, and they they'd send a bunch of people away for this training program. Right. And then we had a hotel for a few nights. Yeah, it'd be at a hotel for. Yeah, a few nights or a week, and then, you know, like these, new middle aged or near middle aged ladies would, like, give you their hotel room key type situation and say you come home with or you'd have, like a folio of them.

You you're like, I've got like six of them today. Hell yeah. And it just kind of like downgrades your view of humanity because you're just like, give me a break. Do you think I'm that easy? Got that? Well, you know, it wasn't it wasn't about that. It was just it was just all these people are terrible human beings.

No, not really, but yes. Kind of. It was like that, that kind of hybrid. Yeah. I mean, I can understand, you know, everyone's human. Yeah. And looking for some excitement or whatever, but I was never there to, like, summer texted me in the middle of the night. I was sleeping my ass off, but, she texted me. She had a dream.

I cheated, and. Yeah, now you're in trouble. Even though you do anything wrong. Exactly. And. But it's the same idea. You know, you're thinking. You're talking about hell, I guess, you know, in her brain somewhere. She she was like. Yeah. Sean's got to be looking for excitement, for stimulation, for something, you know? And or you can't. You can't ever hold anybody accountable for a dream.

You can't, you can't. And, my response to her was basically, look, I live in a pigsty unfolding, and I don't have a car. Don't worry about it.

Wow. So, just don't tell her about all the podcast groupies, right? We've got tons of that. I forgot about those. Whew. Oh, that makes me feel better. It's hard sometimes to beat all those podcast groupies back the sticks. Oh, yeah. Yeah. I mean, we've got four of them following us right now at a respectable distance. Yeah, it's funny.

So just to get it on the recording, the reason my voice is horse is that actually, I taught a class on Monday, and I'm not used to talking for two, two, three hours straight. That's awesome. So I had a little bit of a strain on my voice. That's really cool, though. So you enjoyed it? They enjoyed it.

Yeah. It was, you know, I would like to think I'm somewhat of a subject matter expert. Yeah. Mean. So, smelling it up, I think I was, I think I was able to convey, like, the practical application, what's important to know what's kind of honing in on if you want to be successful. And then combine that with anecdotal experiences about how you can make some positive change in the world of knowing how to use this kind of technology.

And that's what that's really where it's where it's at. And that's who. Then when you try things like when you tie technical skills and abilities to. To emotional impact that you're going to inspire people. Yeah. Without overselling it. Is that that actually something I want to talk about today is people that oversell emotion. Yeah. It's like I guess it's personal, but it's again annoying for me lately.

Okay. Like, NPR is doing their fun drive again on the radio. But the, the, the executive director or whatever comes on and is like, this is this is good for your heart and your spirit. It's like there's a spiritual invigoration from this type of, you know, and the love. And I'm just what the what does. Dude, I'm giving you $20 a month or whatever.

Yeah. It's like, come on. Yeah. It's not like my child. Yeah. What the hell is this? You see people walking around in public with, like, public radio nerd shirts and stuff like that. Which is, like, way overselling. The emotional significance of something has gotten annoying for me lately.

So I have to warm up the other hand. Oh, cool. Yeah. So, but I don't know. It seems like every once in a while you get on a particular thread, you know? Yeah. And, like, notice something? It's just in your craw. It's just pissing you off. Yeah, I totally get it. Yeah. It's more like a,

I don't know, a moderate level annoyance, okay, than, like, actually being pissed, but it's. I wish I could have moderate level because it quickly escalates with me. It'll start as a moderate level of annoyance for, like, a day, and then it'll just blossom into this terrible, terrible thing. I know there's like a marketing, you know, you get some people that are deep in marketing and that's like the job that's in life.

Yeah. Like, learn how to oversell everything. Like the Trump phenomenon. Oh, yeah. It's great. It's bigly. Everything's awesome. Yeah, I vaguely that's you know what I mean? I use the best words right? Yeah. I like to also use the best words, but it's not possible. I use, I use, like, really specific words sometimes, like indictment or. Right.

Yeah. Or. This was not a raid. Yeah. I have to be honest with you. I am kind of looking forward to seeing that as I get indicted or, I don't know, like, somehow I have an emotional connection to it. Oh, I do, I definitely do. There is this schadenfreude. I will take some deep pleasure in obvious pain.

Yeah. Trump. Which is bad, right? I mean, that's what they say. They say it's like you shouldn't have a sense of joy from someone else's. Yeah. You shouldn't. But it's Trump. Should we? I don't know, I, I guess there's like, over all that time, I guess. And you hear all this information about the shady shit this guy is doing?

Yeah. And getting to other people. Yeah. So there's, like, this reduced empathy for him? Yeah. But, you know me, that's like something I try to avoid. I understand. I, I admire that. I do. I wish that I bothered to cultivate it, but I do not. Yeah. Well, I don't either have weaknesses. Yeah. And, I have to admit, if seeing him go to jail would really give me a sense of, like, wow.

At least I don't know, some kind of justice left in the room. Yeah. You know, it just really feels like. And, you know, I know this is getting heavily political, and, you know, there's a lot of emotion tied into it for a lot of people. But he just seems like the very definition of a charlatan, a fraud. Yeah.

And there's something about, like, rich people get away with everything. Yeah. And we talked about that, that people hate. It's, it's infuriating to us little people. Yeah. When, like, you know, your whole life gets flipped upside down if you, you know, have a drink and get caught driving or something. Yeah. Or, you know, whatever you make, you make a conscious mistake.

But but it's a it's actually a crime and a big deal. Like you did something wrong by accident. Right. But you, the consequences come home to roost, and you have to deal with them. Yeah. And and then for something like even not, it doesn't affect anybody else in society that you you to do like, let's say that you, committed some type of fraud inadvertently.

You mean you do it? Let's say tax fraud. Yeah. Right. You thought you put the right numbers there. Yeah. You know, you get nabbed for that and, you know, six months in jail or something, right? It's like, oh, shit. Yeah. You know, and this guy is like, don't miss out on a cosmic level and just slow walks over the in court and get away with everything.

Yeah, yeah. That's it. And it's, somehow. Somehow. Right. And you got to wonder how he's become Teflon Don. You know. Well, everyone else around him always takes off. That's it. But you think at some point people will just stop being around him? It's, It's that, like, social problem we have in America is this obsession with celebrity and with wealth.

And he's got both. Yeah, well, he's got the he's got the, image of wealth. That's it. That's it. I was going to say he's managed to perpetuate the illusion of extreme wealth. Yeah. And, but there's no doubt that he's got the cult of personality celebrity he does gets going on, even though he's a crazy looking dude.

I mean, it's like. I know we were saying at last podcast Sam was on, but, you know, the guy's, Cheeto colored, short fingered, fair wearing, ultra vulgar shit. Gavin, some of the names that are out there. It's so funny. I think I told you about the Mandarin Mussolini. Oh, that shit is brilliant. I mean, my God, that throws, you know, Jesus.

There. Which is my favorite. That is so. And then, there's someone like, diaper shitting dumb ass or something. That's awesome. He's. There's another one out there like that. That's friggin hilarious. You can find them in the hashtags, you know? Right. All these various names in this little lady. That will forever get. Yes. So?

So they have this, like, joke. There's the elf on the shelf, and then there's this. Right? Right, right, right. And there's this one. One tweet or whatever meme or something I saw. It was Donald Trump sitting, like in the pose of, like, The Thinker. Oh. Sitting on top of a cheese grater. Like one of those foresighted, you know, like graters.

Yeah. Box. Great box. Yeah. That's it. Yeah. You know, you know, there was like, trader on a greater, trader at a greater import. Take it away. Yeah. He was taking off all the the ones that you'd expect. You know, so I was trying to think of something funny to add. Yeah. So I think I, I think I added, what did I say?

What did I say? Oh, geez. It's actually funny. And I'll just carry on. I'll think of what it wasn't exactly. I should have had it already in my mind. Yeah, man. But, yeah, I mean, he's just. He is. What's so great about making fun of him is his reaction to it. He reacts like a fourth grader, you know?

Oh, I change fake success to orange zest.

Fake success stories that, That's what I said. That's pretty great. Stupid. I love it. That totally goes really well with the cheese grater. The, What is it? The micro coin idea? Yeah, there's a is this, a micro? Oh, my God, there's so many weird vanity things. Yeah, I never really thought it was popular to put your feet, like, in a fish tank and let the fish eat your dead skin.

Oh, wow. That's fun. And then you just stop that because, like, I get some crazy infections and, you know, I'm like, you should have known that going in. Yeah. It's like they're fish. Oh, they don't hang out in the same environment. They do, but on purpose. Yeah. And it's probably not a good idea to let another organism feed on you, right?

It's like, unless you're a female and just had a baby. Other than that, there probably shouldn't be other organisms feeding on your. Yeah, right. I mean, your progeny is one thing, but you were, I mean, come on. Just because they do it to other like. Just because small fish do it to cartilaginous animals like sharks. Right, right, right.

Yeah. That's like a that's like a, symbiotic, you know, relationship though. Yeah. That's an established symbiotic relationship in their environment. It's not something you should be participating in. Exactly. Exactly. Yeah. You don't you don't have, like, sucker fish attached to you. Yeah. Or whatever. Like, whatever. Like, gill parasites. Yeah. All right. Yeah. So you might not need to put your feet in a tank and make carnivorous fish eat your feet or cuticles or calluses.

That's just gross. But it was a thing for a while. Yeah. You know, there's, like, all kinds of bizarre beauty. Like the, the one that freaks me out the most that's been really popular for the last few years is the the cry of freezing stuff. Oh, like, freeze away some fat. Yeah. Pockets and shit. Right. It's like you're getting in, like,

And then the cold sculpting. Yeah. Cold sculpting. And they put you in, like, a like a sauna, but it's basically liquid nitrogen, and it's like, fuck that. No. I'm good. Odd. Yeah. It's like, this is about as cold as I want to get what we're doing today. Yeah. What kind of strange diseases are going to emerge from freezing different parts of your body or.

You know, I can't imagine it's good. Something's going to come off like. Yeah. Deep, deep vein thrombosis in your abdomen. Yeah. You're going to get DVT in your abdomen. In your fucking abdomen or something like that. Yeah. Deep, deep. Deep tissue necrosis or right. So your left foot or something like that, even though you did the cold sculpting on your abdomen.

You know, the body is a strange thing. It is. Yeah. And, there's this other one I saw was like, this fucking looks like a Jensen mask. Oh, shit. And like women, it's a hard plastic thing. And women put it on their face on it. Have all this? Well, I guess anybody could, but it was targeted at women.

Yeah, but it would. It would line up with all these different, like, infrared and UV lights. Oh. So, like, I don't know, make it prettier. Yeah. Right. I thought that was hilarious. And then like, there's, there's like, YouTube videos and stuff of all these bizarre gadgets, you know, that people have used in the past. But they had the Hawaii chair.

That's funny. You saw that? Yeah. It's like. Like you're sitting there at, like, a an executive ad man or something. Yeah. And your chair's going around the circle. Yeah, I can see it. Probably working in some of the small places that, my dad had worked out when I was a kid where, you know, the the. It's like the admin staff doesn't have anything to do, and they spend the day sending stupid things to each other, you know?

Yeah. If someone is sitting there on a rotating chair all day and, I think that would probably like, I don't know, make people think a few things. Yeah. Like, like like, What the fuck is that person doing in their life? Why do you think. Why? We need to sit all day on a on a basically, like a offset rotating chair?

Yes. That's and that's it. And it's like what? I just can't believe that that I mean, maybe it's going to strengthen some sort of stabilization muscle. Maybe, maybe. So like, you broke up a bunch of stomach muscles underneath your back. Right. And so often what's already happened to what happens to people you know, because they started exercise. Yeah.

Well, the. The trunk that they're is often not directly against muscle. And so it's hard to get rid of it. Sure. Doing what we're doing is one of the best ways to get rid of it. Walking. Walking or running? Yeah, absolutely. Wasn't that why we started this? I think so. Yeah. But I'm. I'm sorry. We're actually in the fifth year.

I, I keep messing that one up. We got to make sure that we're more honest with people. Yeah. My voice is is actually just fine right now. It's just a filter. Oh, yeah. Yep. And, I mean, I have to applaud all the work and effort you went into to create that, but realistically, yeah, I was like 25, different effects in Adobe Audition.

It's like it takes five minutes to process every two minutes of audio.

And I have, like, one of the best computers you can get these days. Yeah. Oh you do, at least on the commercial side, right. If we're talking, you know, I guess maybe JPL or somebody like that who's got, like, you know, one of the fastest, multi-node supercomputers that, you know. Sure. Yeah. It's nothing compared to that.

But for like, a consumer, I, I'm like, whatever that site is, that rate your computer. I have the UFO status still. Oh, shit. That's just saying that's with an eight month old PC, though. Hell yeah. That's cool. Oh, and by the way, I am now even more of an advocate against, for, getting yourself a decent computer, because the fucking time I've saved.

Right. Been incredible of of waiting. Waited on the computer so much less. And, you know, you know, in the past, because you get in these habits where you do wait until certain things happen and you're on a hair trigger. Okay. This happened to both of them. And you end up having to change your workflows. I mean, I can just say, like when I worked at, Lowe's in the paint store or in the paint department, like I had this thing where I'd be doing other stuff and there was a CRT monitor that, you know, we had so I could see when the light would change from up pretty far.

I'm not away. So I'd be doing a couple of other things. I'd be standing right there soon as the light would change out. Go and click. Yeah. You know. Yeah. It's like I press the power on button and like, 10s later, I'm working. Yep. And that was definitely not the case before. It would help. No, but, you know, I and I knew mentally how long different actions would take the computer.

I totally have to recalibrate things like if they got a faster PC, like actually put that into your, planning for your workflow. Yeah. Like the lag of your computer? Yeah. Yeah. The the tools. And supposed to be the bottleneck. No, but, now the graphics cards have come down, like, so much. Yeah. They're actually at MSP or below, right?

Yeah. A lot of cases below now. Right. So the, whatever you call the, big the chip crunch is over the L. Yeah. Ready to put a fab in? I think Phoenix, Arizona. So we're going to have a fan stateside. What's that going to do for us? Supposedly, give us greater resiliency whenever there is some sort of feigned or actual, supply crunch.

Okay. That's interesting. Supposedly. Yeah. I don't know if it's gonna work, but it sounds like it could. Well, is that tipping your hat to the idea that we're going to have perpetual cycles of this shit? You know, like. Like. So is that just saying, look, we're going to have pandemic after pandemic, either pandemic after pandemic or social crunch after social crunch or whatever it may be like predicting this explosion of IoT items.

And yeah, I mean, components of a lot of things. I mean, geopolitically, the world is a powder keg right now. Yeah. I mean, the whole pipeline thing that in the whatever Northern Sea, whatever. Yeah. Or that, gas line that to whatever Nord Stream or whatever. Yeah. Like somebody blew that shit up. Yep. So, you know, that could happen to all the all the internet lines that are strong across the ocean.

Totally. Could I mean. Now that it would put us in the dark ages now. It would when the country of Georgia a few years ago lost their internet. It was a disaster. It was a disaster. But did you ever hear about who they blamed it on? I, I tried to blame it on an old lady digging in her garden.

Oh, lady. Yeah, that old lady digging in her garden. Like the whole internet runs through all these garden. That's what I'm saying. Oh, yeah. And not only that, if she cut one cable, she sure as hell didn't cut the, like, main fiber bundle her main fiber bottle for the whole country. Oh. And these would be redundant as well.

Yes. There's going to be a there's got to be fewer in the poorer countries. A high level of redundancy there. I think the more providers I bet anything that like a state actor with some resources that had a fucking plan could really harm the internet 100%, like physically and virtually. Yeah, it's really even state said there's only a few major tier one providers.

You know. Yeah. You're right. Very vulnerable because there's, there's a, there's like, vulnerability points. Right? Yeah. There's points that are mission critical. Yeah. It's interesting though. Like to some degree, I guess I have to fantasize about this idea that, there's potentially some good things that could come out of it. Like, for one, if when once it's rebuilt, it would be hardened.

Right. Right. Two is that people could use a break. Yeah. People could probably use a break for a while from, I don't know, the new digital world. It might produce a bit of a renaissance. I would have to agree. You know, hopefully that break. Will give us a chance to, look at our world again and recalibrate ourselves, figure out the things that we enjoy doing before we're stuck in our screens.

Yeah. I mean, some people were kind of rejuvenated from the pandemic. Just understand. If you can set aside all the horrible death, right, and suffering that our fellow man had to go through. But yeah, all these different hobbies, all these different things people learned.

Yeah. It's funny, the whole, kind of funny, this idea of quote unquote, the economy. Yeah. Yeah. And how it's like a thing that has agency, right? Yeah. You know what? At the end of the day, there's no organic reality. Food, clothing, shelter, water. Sure. Medicine. You know, and then once you get past that. What is it? Right.

It's it's I think it's unless you're a deep economist, it says this amorphous thing. It's just so ill defined and hard to grasp. So to call your way out of the pandemic, right? Economically, the government went ahead and printed tremendous, like, incredible sums of money. Yeah. Right. Yeah. And then that serves two purposes unified. You devalue the dollar that way through inflation, and then your debts are easier to pay because you're, you know, since every dollar is worth less, you're not paying in total in actual value.

You're paying back in dollar. Gotcha. So, like, if there's $100 in the economy and all of a sudden I just print 900 more dollars for myself, I can pay off my $50 loan with the money I just made, which is now worth way less. Yeah, so I paid back in less value than I borrowed. Yes. And even with the interest to the government, that's great for the individual.

Their earning power has decreased for the individual stocks. Did you just tax their wage? Yep. Like you made every dollar they make. That's a fixed that much harder to earn. Or the value that they once earned is not there. So you have to work harder right. To get said value. Yeah. You crippled their purchasing power. Yes. You know, so it's it's an invisible tax on the common person.

Yep. The stock market goes up through the roof because it's hedges against inflation. Right. Right. So if all your wealth or majority, your wealth is in stocks and bonds and you're happy inflation is irrelevant to you. It's like, well, inflation tax the poor people I don't care. Inflation been fears of inflation and interest rate increases have been hitting the market hard.

Yeah. Because that's like doing the opposite thing. It's it's slowing down. Inflation is reducing the. Yeah. It's reducing the speed of inflation grows or even deflating. Yeah. And if with deflation, deflation is like the best thing for the working person. And that's what's Silver Dollar goes for all of my friends at the bank. You've been worried about deflation.

I'm like, it's good for us guys. Yeah. Because because everyone thinks that they're like some kind of roller. High roller. And you're not. When you're just working for a wage that proportionally is nothing. I want to tell you, even if you're making 3 or $4000 a year, you ain't shit. I'm totally not sure. And you can invest every, every bit of it, but you can living as legally as possible for as long as you can.

You're still in that swing with the big fish. No, no, you you might be able to comfortably retire for certain definitions of lifestyle, and you might be able to set your children's or your children's children up to be in the 1% right. That's the thing. That's what your goal would have to be creating generational wealth that's protected, playing the long game.

And then then like one generation away, that entitled scumbag, you know, gets into drugs and blows every last fucking bit, but you'll be dead. Yeah. So it's cool. Your life had meaning. Yeah. Your sacrifice. I'll tell you that idea of, like, this really tight knit, functional community where people are health and healthy, well, mentally and physically would be the holy grail of it would be nice of human success.

There would be no people putting putting the measurement of success on quality of their daily existence and making sure that. Making sure that things you're as fair and equitable as they can be, not only are as everyone healthy, but they've been given not just the definition of opportunity, but in actuality. Okay. Yeah. Just just this display of a of a of a model that's functional for humanity, not functional for enterprise.

Right. And that's really where we're at unfortunately. Because, hey, how else could we be any different? Enterprise controls the whole show. So of course, the model is going to slowly move to greater than 100%. And this idea of like, functional humanism, you know, as a, as a governance, not socialism or some type of political or economic ideology, socialism is just so overloaded.

It's not a terrible thing, but it's never like the term now we can't use it. Yeah. Though of all the times that socialism has tried to been implemented or other kind of communism or some form of government, it's been the corruption that's that's made it. Yeah. Intelligible. Just like democracy. Right. Ultimately, what it comes down to is it's people being people.

It's greed. Yeah. It's greed. And, people with their interests are more important than others. Yep. It's like, the self self selfish gene, the self-centered model. Oh, yeah. Know that was a good book. Yeah. And, that that kind of inevitability. So, like, under a democratic system, you get, you transform that into a representative republic, and then that becomes ocracy.

That's what you see here. You see communism or some form of socialism like in Russia that's becomes an oligarchy. Right. So each one of these like kind of purist philosophical constructs has, has its corrupt, has its evolved Pokemon form. That's right. Perfect. Perfect. Note to leave it on. That takes the cake. Awesome. I'll be here at six tomorrow.

Okay, man. Cool. I'll see you. Yeah. Good day. You two probably freeze. Are you not, Then I'm hot. Oh, you're the man. No, not the man. I just I love what you have. You have a good, cardiovascular metabolism. Heat up quick. Maybe so. I must be in. I mean, I guess that makes sense. Decent blood flow.

The. I mean, maybe some kind of health crisis. You're like. You're, like, actually circling the drain right now. I wouldn't doubt it. Or it's like, really good, really good. Metabolic, cardiovascular. It's like anything. And you just don't know yet. Maybe. I mean, you know, maybe it's all that pepper that I like to eat helps my cardiovascular. I'll bet on the latter, I think.

Yeah, there we go. But it could totally be the former. I didn't want to put it on the recording because, Oh. So recording somehow.
