We're terrific. Where are you? Where are you on your journey?

Oh.

Oh.

Oh.

I guess if we were to imagine what Mike Post would be doing, that's what we would imagine he'd be doing. Well, yeah.

That's correct. Do I have that right? That's precisely correct. At the 11th hour, just before the dub is finished, I've already completed all my work. Everybody's real happy with what I did. And he calls me up and says, hey, I'm going to... Date stamps, scene changes, and I need a sound to mark that. And I said, great, call sound effects because I'm your composer. I don't do sounds.

I do music, you know. And, you know, he and I are dear friends. So he goes, hey, come on. I need a favor. God, why do you, you know, come on. And I said, all right, all right, all right. So I got a bunch of samples of it, jail doors slamming in it. guy hitting an anvil with a ball-beating hammer and a bunch of men in Japan stomping on a wood floor and, you know, all these weird sounds.

And, you know, it took us about five, six hours to come up with that ching-ching, dun-dun, dong-dong, ding-ding, whatever the hell you want to call it down there. And so I sent it over to the dub stage and Dick goes, man, this is perfect. I've never heard anything like this. This is exactly right. And about a year later, he sends me a note. He goes... You know, isn't it funny?

All the great music you've written and on your tombstone will be done, done or ding, ding. And you didn't even want to do it, you stupid idiot. You know, and I was right about that. So, yeah, that's how the sound came about. And, you know, I don't know if. anybody cares or anything, but I was a runner for a long time, for 30 years.

And, you know, I guess you could carry a little device on your phone. You could play back dun-dun, ching-ching, whatever you call that thing. I guess you could do that, except I think that because of law and order and the darkness of the subject matter, I mean... I don't know if that would calm... It has the opposite effect. Yeah, I'm not sure that would calm anybody. I will tell you this.
