I'm doing very well. I'm in New York. I'm excited for South by Southwest. We're going to be heading over this weekend. Of course, this episode will be out by the time we're there, but I think it's going to be great. You know what I'm really excited for, though, is the flight back. Why is that? Flying with you. Oh, I'm sorry. I meant to tell you that there's just not enough... Not enough seats.
There's only seven seats on the plane. How many seats are on the plane?
I don't know. I haven't counted. I can't go here. There's no way I don't come across as the world's biggest douchebag talking about the number of seats.

This is, by the way, one of my first jobs at Prof G Media, was you were talking about this company, Aspiration, and it was my job to go in and do the research because you had this feeling that this company, which was selling credit cards, but also positioned itself as helping with climate change, you said, this is definitely a bullshit company. You had the team look into it.
