Hello?
Hello?
Hello?
Well, I'll tell you, I just didn't want to bother you, but I've been having such a terrible time.
Yeah.
You aren't feeling too bad, are you?
Right, right, right.
Well, I think it was wise for you to put off your TV and do what you feel like, you know?
Yeah.
Yeah, that's what I take it.
That's what I mean.
What I mean is time is not that important.
You can do it next week as well.
You can do what you plan to do next week then.
Right.
Correct.
Right.
Well, they come all the time.
Right.
Well, what is it?
How does it affect you otherwise?
It's just in your head and it shows up.
What?
Sure, sure.
God, that's a hell of a joke.
Yes, sir.
I know what you meant, too.
You're here yesterday or Monday, huh?
Uh-huh.
Uh-huh.
Are you at Houston now?
What do you move from Washington?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Sure.
Sure.
Well, well, oh, I'm fine.
I just couldn't feel better.
I went on the back of the tour to California.
That's kind of where I go across the country.
But this week, just finished the salt thing today.
And then we've got a couple of the rest of the week.
But all, all of it, all of it.
In Washington, I mean.
And next week, I'm going out to...
If you know the plan, we're going to have the Atlanta one next week.
It's moving up a week.
This week has been going very well, but we haven't had too many good events internationally.
How do you feel?
Yeah.
All right.
Well, you said that you checked with me.
I asked you to.
Well, the main thing is to breathe a little fresh air and just feel better.
Okay?
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
I don't know.
