Thanks Owen, and I'm attempting to record this episode today, so we'll see what happens. I'm not that familiar with Zoom record.
Yeah. So we're recording this in video and audio as we've been doing a lot lately, which is really cool. But we asked, we are working remote. This is my first day back in the office in about two months. We're not actually like we're permitted to work in the office, but as you know, but I think like we're in here just for a day and it's been so long since I've been in here.
