Yeah.
Sorry, go ahead.
Dr.
Congressman Zott.
Thank you, sir.
Hello?
Yes, sir, Mr. President.
Well, I just called to tell you you shouldn't be working on your birthday.
But since you're out there in Indiana on your birthday, why tell all those crowds that you'll be speaking to that I called you to wish my Indiana friend from southern Indiana very best on his 25th birthday.
Is that how old?
You're old enough to be in Congress?
You're half right, Mr. President.
You're old enough to be in Congress?
I'm old enough.
Yeah, right.
This is a half century mark here.
Really?
Yes, sir.
Oh, my God.
You're the youngest looking guy I ever saw for that age.
Well, I got a nice card saying I'm happy you're 50.
I'm getting sick of the younger generation.
Live it up while you can.
All right.
Good.
