Well, having a command.
Hello.
Yeah.
Would you check on that view, the CNM thing?
I think it's the way they know it's coming that I, that we pick a time for that, you know?
And what do they need?
They need a Wednesdays?
What day?
I think it is.
We'll find out a day and pick out one.
I wouldn't mind doing it, say, next Wednesday, for example, I guess, unless we do that congressional thing.
You said the next one, see, we can't do the congressional thing.
What are we planning next Wednesday?
Are we planning to do the congressional thing next Wednesday?
That's what I meant.
What about that one?
Yeah, I think it is, because this is not the kind of reading where you bring them down, you know, it's the kind of thing where there should be more leisure, where they can have a little talk.
Well, just set up the following week if you can.
That would be a good time.
And then also could you check out the CNN that Blair's doing and then push that one for the following week.
But if you get people dates, you know, you don't have to do nothing that way.
I know, I know, but hey.
Yeah.
We've got a perfect excuse.
I've got to have the samosas in there and I've got to see samosas too.
Except we'll be gone.
We're going to be gone in a minute.
We'll be fine.
