leasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better. It's called, that's right, the simultaneous sip.

Go.

Well, I had a little scare today. I'm preparing for the show and I'm looking at all these little suggestions that war is coming in all these small ways like, "Oh, we got the military, the Navy is surrounding Venezuela." And probably there were three different news items that seemed like an invitation to war. And all of a sudden outside my window, which was pitch black because it was before sunup, I see a flash sort of almost like lightning happened and then I hear boom boom boom. I'm like, "Oh, shoot. Are we being bombed?" And I'm thinking, "Are the bombs so big that it's really happening in San Francisco, which is an hour away." But maybe I can see it because I'll tell you one thing, it couldn't be thunder and lightning because this is California and it's September 2nd and it would be a little bit unusual for there to be any rain. But sure enough there was a 17-minute rainstorm which is the only one I remember all summer. I don't remember it raining all summer which is not unusual for where I live. And it was actually kind of frightening when you put it in context of, you know, I'm a little bit worried that somebody might attack the homeland.

Anyway, the good news is finally you can buy a $100,000 coffee robot. It's a robot that makes your coffee and that's all it does. That's all it does. And they say the payback would be two to three years. It's yet again another single mission robot. I don't know if I told you my coffee robot experience from my local mall. They had a coffee robot kiosk set up so you could actually buy coffee from a robot. And the first several times I saw it, there was a human attendant in case anything went wrong. But by the time I decided to give it a try one day, there was no human attendant. And you know, I didn't want to try it when the human was there because what's the point? You know, you want to test the robot without a human. So I put in my order and then the robot very slowly goes through the steps of making what I want. But as soon as I pushed what I wanted, I realized it wasn't really what I wanted, and indeed it was so not what I wanted that I wouldn't have anything to do with it. And I'd spend some ungodly amount for a cup of coffee and had to stand there just so I could take it and pour it out. And that was my experience with a coffee robot.

So you see, if I'd been talking to a human bar
