Hello, people. This is the pre-show before the show. Some of you will be here. Hello, Outdoor Space Marcela. You're very fast.

I'll start the actual show at the top of the hour. Don't make me say 500 times how many things are broken this morning. It's everything. Everything that should be working is not working. But I'll get into that at the top of the hour. For now, I can see your comments and you can chat with each other.

All right. So I'm now coming to you through the studio, the Rumble studio, which partially works but not the audio. Yes, I was all excited because my iPhone can operate as a microphone, which I would need to use to have good audio. But the moment I needed to actually use it for real, it no longer shows up as an option.

And I'd love to tell you I had notes, but I don't really have any notes because the printer didn't work. So the microphone doesn't work and my other microphone doesn't work and my printer doesn't work and Locals doesn't work if I use it without the Rumble studio. So it's that kind of a day. And I would be sitting in my normal place. He said my body doesn't work if I sit at my desk chair for four hours. I'm just crippled after that. So I had to get in a different position. So my body doesn't work. The printer doesn't work. I don't have any notes. The microphone doesn't work and the other microphone doesn't work and Locals doesn't work. But at least I have coffee.

No, I'm just kidding. I don't have a coffee warmer over here, so I don't have coffee. But at least the coffee has the simultaneous sip written here so that I'll be able to do the simultaneous sip because I'll just read the coffee cup. Oh, wait. It's the wrong coffee cup. It's the only one that the letters have come off of. So I don't have the simultaneous sip. I don't have coffee. I don't have a coffee warmer. My goddamn printer is broken. Locals is on the fritz again. Two days in a row. And two microphones don't work. Both of them should. How's your day so far?

Absolutely everything is broken this morning. Everything. So that's how I'm starting off. But will I be able to compensate? Probably. I'll do my best. I'm using digital notes. You're going to have to do the simultaneous sip from memory. And I'll pretend I'm drinking coffee. And as long as I don't sit up and crunch over, my back won't hurt. Although it does hurt right now. So there's that.

Oh, look at that. Ta-da. That one works. We have learned today that whatever you do, don't use the one broken mug. I made a mistake of running it through the dishwasher. Did any of you have that problem? You ran it through the dishwasher and then it took the letters off.

You're back in 2017 Periscope, huh? Oh, those are the days. But do you remember how bad Periscope was? Periscope was an absolute disaster. That thing never worked and still we loved it.

All right, it's time for the show. What do you think? You guys ready?

All right.
