• 4:58
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, oh yeah, yeah, he's very smart.
• 5:00
  SPEAKER_01: So well, and Steve, I think there's this trend with us when I go back and look at the 25 episodes.
• 5:05
  SPEAKER_01: We we seem to be attracted to a lot of professional medical people.
• 5:10
  SPEAKER_01: We do, you know, we do psychiatrists, doctors, and and geneticists at Dr.
• 5:15
  SPEAKER_02: Zenia Goldfarb.
• 5:17
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 5:18
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, and you know, Jeff, we're we're we're neighbors.
• 5:20
  SPEAKER_02: I mean, our backyard's kind of I can see her backyard from my bed, and and they're doing weird stuff over there again, Jeff.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know.
• 5:26
  SPEAKER_02: We should get her back on the show.
• 5:28
  SPEAKER_02: I don't know what's going on over there.
• 5:29
  SPEAKER_02: I see like flames, and then there are people dancing around, and then they all go inside and 20 minutes later they're back out and do the same thing again.
• 5:36
  SPEAKER_02: I I don't know what this is, you know.
• 5:38
  SPEAKER_01: We should ask I don't know, but I'd sure like to take a look.
• 5:41
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, and I think they're drinking and stuff.
• 5:43
  SPEAKER_02: It's just wow, it's weird.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: It's weird.
• 5:44
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and the other the other thing that I noticed was that there were a lot of love interests, you know, um, on our show, which I think is important because love is you know, it makes the world go round.
• 5:55
  SPEAKER_01: So here we have a perfect example.
• 5:57
  SPEAKER_01: The two loves of your life.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Yes.
• 5:59
  SPEAKER_01: Um, not not counting your wife, yeah.
• 6:01
  SPEAKER_01: Um is yeah, okay.
• 6:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, she didn't want to be on the show, you know.
• 6:05
  SPEAKER_02: She never she doesn't like publicity, you know.
• 6:06
  SPEAKER_01: She never likes to snooze you lose.
• 6:09
  SPEAKER_01: That's uh that's her fault.
• 6:10
  SPEAKER_02: But uh but that's exactly it.
• 6:11
  SPEAKER_02: I've got mom who was really the first, you know what I mean?
• 6:15
  SPEAKER_03: That's true, Stevie.
• 6:16
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, it's true.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's true.
• 6:17
  SPEAKER_02: I've known you your whole life, literally my whole life, and then and then Meg, my old school girlfriend.
• 6:24
  SPEAKER_02: Oh my gosh.
• 6:26
  SPEAKER_02: So many years, Meg.
• 6:27
  SPEAKER_00: So many years of standing in the line at lunch together.
• 6:30
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, yeah.
• 6:32
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it was a crowded school.
• 6:33
  SPEAKER_02: We were, you know, the baby boomer years.
• 6:35
  SPEAKER_02: There were a lot of kids in that school.
• 6:37
  SPEAKER_02: So yeah, it was it was crowded back then.
• 6:39
  SPEAKER_01: It's just well, you're very lucky.
• 6:40
  SPEAKER_01: I don't I don't have that, Steve.
• 6:42
  SPEAKER_01: I yeah, it's ironic.
• 6:43
  SPEAKER_01: I have two fathers and neither of them are here right now.
• 6:46
  SPEAKER_01: But I I you know, I I guess outside of my wife, I don't really have any loves of my life either.
• 6:52
  SPEAKER_02: Uh well, you know, Jeff, I think that I think I think a New Year's resolution for 2023 is we gotta find you one or more.
• 7:00
  SPEAKER_02: We do.
• 7:01
  SPEAKER_02: I think we gotta find you some and and bring them on the show, yeah.
• 7:05
  SPEAKER_02: And and speaking of New Year's and drinking, you know, this is a Christmas party, so let's have some of that punch.
• 7:11
  SPEAKER_02: What do you say?
• 7:12
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, sounds good.
• 7:13
  SPEAKER_02: Let's hey, bottoms up, guys.
• 7:14
  SPEAKER_02: You know, I usually don't drink during the show, but hey, you know, it's Christmas, right?
• 7:19
  SPEAKER_01: Anybody want some of my Mogan David?
• 7:20
  SPEAKER_00: I'll take some.
• 7:21
  SPEAKER_00: I'll take some.
• 7:22
  SPEAKER_00: Yeah, okay.
• 7:23
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, I don't know what that is.
• 7:25
  SPEAKER_02: You gotta cut it with a little vodka.
• 7:27
  SPEAKER_02: It's not so bad when you do that.
• 7:29
  SPEAKER_02: And oh, and mom, speaking of vodka, I put the vodka in with the gin in the punch.
• 7:34
  SPEAKER_02: So I can know you like that blend.
• 7:36
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you like that blend a lot.
• 7:37
  SPEAKER_03: No, it classes it up, Stevie.
• 7:39
  SPEAKER_03: It classes it up.
• 7:40
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you both have so much class.
• 7:42
  SPEAKER_01: We do, it's uh true, it's really impressive.
• 7:45
  SPEAKER_03: You know, Jeffrey, I was thinking, you know what this comes down to?
• 7:48
  SPEAKER_03: It was those lunch lines that that Stevie was standing in.
• 7:52
  SPEAKER_03: I bet your folks, if they packed your lunch, it derails you from a young age.
• 7:57
  SPEAKER_03: You know, you don't have to buy this lunch.
• 7:59
  SPEAKER_03: Yep, it all goes back to the lunch line.
• 8:02
  SPEAKER_02: Mom always knows best because that's that's exactly it.
• 8:05
  SPEAKER_02: You know, if I hadn't have stood in line, I never would have met Meg.
• 8:09
  SPEAKER_01: Well, and I would have, but you know, then I had that you know, that hygiene issue in grade school and that rash that I you know didn't really hear about it.
• 8:20
  SPEAKER_03: The lactose intolerance, too, I think was probably pretty embarrassing for you because nobody knew what it was back then.
• 8:26
  SPEAKER_03: Nobody knew.
• 8:27
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, they said pretty much you could hear it though.
• 8:30
  SPEAKER_02: Well, you say, Hey, my stomach hurts, and they say, Look, have some milk, right?
• 8:34
  SPEAKER_01: I mean, yeah, line line your stomach with milk.
• 8:37
  SPEAKER_02: Line your stomach with milk.
• 8:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, oh, it still hurts.
• 8:40
  SPEAKER_02: Drink more, you know?
• 8:41
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 8:43
  SPEAKER_03: Block of cheese, get a block of cheese, maybe have some cream.
• 8:47
  SPEAKER_03: How about some mac and cheese?
• 8:48
  SPEAKER_03: Mix it together.
• 8:50
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, mac and cheese, mom.
• 8:51
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, now you're talking.
• 8:53
  SPEAKER_02: That is the best.
• 8:55
  SPEAKER_03: I plug some in over, I put it over, I unplugged the Christmas tree to make sure that we could we could plug it in.
• 9:01
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, that's okay, because you know, we don't need the lights on because it's this is just an audio show, so we we don't need the lights.
• 9:07
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, no problem.
• 9:08
  SPEAKER_01: Now, do you guys have plans?
• 9:09
  SPEAKER_01: Oh well, I was oh do you do you guys have plans for Christmas, upcoming Christmas?

• 9:31
  SPEAKER_02: Meg, when do you go back?
• 9:33
  SPEAKER_00: I I'm leaving the day after Christmas, probably.
• 9:36
  SPEAKER_02: Wow, just to like pack things up and move back up here?
• 9:41
  SPEAKER_00: Uh well, I'm not so sure, but we'll have to see.
• 9:45
  SPEAKER_01: Oh this sounds like there there may be a communication issue between Steve, you and you and Meg.
• 9:53
  SPEAKER_01: Last thing I would have ever suspected.
• 9:55
  SPEAKER_02: And and you know, I I I know we if we had had more time when you were in town to really talk things through, we might have cleared this up.
• 10:04
  SPEAKER_02: But you know, it's I I know you were you were tied up, and then you know, you got exposed to COVID 14 times during your time here, so had to isolate.
• 10:13
  SPEAKER_03: No, but not not literally tied up, Stevie.
• 10:15
  SPEAKER_03: You got to be really careful when you use those places, just like just busy, busy, busy, busy on the oh yeah, yeah, no, not tied up.

  SPEAKER_04: Oh, yeah.
• 10:24
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, a lot of quarantine, a lot of quarantine, a lot of quarantining, yeah.
• 10:30
  SPEAKER_02: And and so we didn't really get a chance to talk much.
• 10:34
  SPEAKER_00: No, um because you can't even talk on the phone when you're quarantining for COVID.
• 10:38
  SPEAKER_02: You know, that's what I've heard.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: When when Dr.
• 10:40
  SPEAKER_02: Eh phones in, we should we should talk about that because I I've heard that you can get it through the phone.
• 10:46
  SPEAKER_02: Can you believe that?
• 10:47
  SPEAKER_02: You can catch it through the phone.
• 10:49
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, and I'm not a I'm not a relationship counselor, but sometimes they say, you know, as your life changes, you sort of split apart, you have less in common.
• 10:59
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe it's time for you guys to revisit where you came from and maybe go on a date to a cafeteria somewhere.
• 11:06
  SPEAKER_03: Oh that yeah, that I thought you I thought they were coming to my house that wasn't prepared to host.
• 11:12
  SPEAKER_03: I've got the plastic on the couch still.
• 11:14
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, but mom, I like that plastic because you know, in the summer when it's really hot, you kind of stick to it.
• 11:20
  SPEAKER_02: I oh, that was I I used I love that plastic.
• 11:22
  SPEAKER_03: Wow, you know, we're put it on just for you, Stevie, mostly because you make a mess.
• 11:26
  SPEAKER_03: And it doesn't smell good after you've been sitting on it.
• 11:29
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, I'm a messy eater, you know, and and the smell, just you you wipe the plastic, the smell kind of comes off too.

  SPEAKER_02: And then and then you go downtown Council Bluffs, which is kind of the urban core of Western Iowa, and it's it's it's beautiful.
• 14:09
  SPEAKER_01: I have a good thought that maybe I need to come visit too.
• 14:12
  SPEAKER_01: There was a part of that commercial, you know, where it said it was the Jew of Western Iowa.
• 14:17
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, um, you know, that appeals to me, you know, on a number of uh levels.
• 14:21
  SPEAKER_01: So Jeffy, check that out.
• 14:23
  SPEAKER_02: I think it would be no.
• 14:24
  SPEAKER_03: I think I I would take offense to there to that, Jeff.
• 14:27
  SPEAKER_03: I mean, Jeffrey, think about it.
• 14:30
  SPEAKER_03: They're declaring that they are the Jew of Western Iowa.
• 14:34
  SPEAKER_03: Have they earned that right?
• 14:36
  SPEAKER_03: Are they have they competed in any type of gladiator battle?
• 14:40
  SPEAKER_03: Is this something biblical that has occurred?
• 14:43
  SPEAKER_03: I just feel like maybe they've stolen that crown and do not necessarily deserve it.
• 14:49
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and and you know what, Jeff?
• 14:51
  SPEAKER_02: They may be the Jew of Western Iowa, but I it's I bet they changed their name from Council Bluffstein.
• 14:56
  SPEAKER_02: What do you think?
• 14:57
  SPEAKER_02: I I think so.
• 14:58
  SPEAKER_02: I think they did.
• 14:59
  SPEAKER_02: I think they did, and that's that's just not right, you know.
• 15:02
  SPEAKER_03: Do you think that statue is just is just a metal yarmica?
• 15:05
  SPEAKER_03: Maybe that's it.
• 15:06
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe it's a metal yarmica, or it could be like like the Torah, you know, the the those poles that go through the Torah, you know?
• 15:14
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, and those and those metal yarmicas, those are not cheap.
• 15:18
  SPEAKER_01: Oh no, you know, they're made of real metal, and so you gotta kind of give them some credit for trying.
• 15:24
  SPEAKER_01: I remember reading uh was it the Carol Burnett show with the gone with the wind skin where she wore the drapes?
• 15:31
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:32
  SPEAKER_01: Um, there's a museum in western Illinois that actually has those drapes, and I've always wanted to visit that, so maybe I could drive to you know western Illinois and then continue to keep the iron yarmica.
• 15:47
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, which are the drapes made of metal?
• 15:50
  SPEAKER_03: I'm I'm not following.
• 15:52
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, I'm not either.
• 15:53
  SPEAKER_03: Is it like a steel curtain?
• 15:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, it's a steel curtain rod, yeah.
• 15:57
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, yeah.
• 15:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's kind of the same.
• 16:00
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, you know though, you can those metal yarmicas.
• 16:02
  SPEAKER_02: You if you get the Chinese-made ones, they're a little less, you know.
• 16:05
  SPEAKER_02: It's uh it doesn't have to be expensive, you know.
• 16:07
  SPEAKER_00: Jeff, they might not allow you in the the Jew of Western Iowa because if you came there would be two Jews, they wouldn't get to be the Jew.
• 16:17
  SPEAKER_01: Wow, plus I'm still lactose intolerant.
• 16:21
  SPEAKER_03: So you know, two I too Jews walked into Iowa.
• 16:25
  SPEAKER_02: Walked into Iowa, right?
• 16:27
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, I know that joke.
• 16:28
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, that's hilarious.
• 16:30
  SPEAKER_01: Uh, probably not something you can say nowadays, you know.
• 16:34
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, that's so true.
• 16:35
  SPEAKER_02: Thanks, Steve.
• 16:36
  SPEAKER_02: We're gonna have to say it in the past.
• 16:38
  SPEAKER_01: Yes, you know that's the good thing, Steve.
• 16:40
  SPEAKER_01: You're able to do that.
• 16:41
  SPEAKER_02: Of course, I'm I'm from the future, so I can do this.
• 16:44
  SPEAKER_02: I'll go back in time and say it, and it'll be funny.
• 16:46
  SPEAKER_02: I'll get a lot of laughs.
• 16:47
  SPEAKER_03: It'll be.
• 16:48
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and speaking that's a good call, Stevie.
• 16:50
  SPEAKER_03: Good call.
• 16:51
  SPEAKER_02: You know, speaking of speaking of laughs, I got a note.
• 16:53
  SPEAKER_02: I don't think you remember uh Carol Bingbok, the game designer that was on the work game designer.
• 17:00
  SPEAKER_02: You know, she'd send me a note, said, you know, hey, I I don't think I can make your Christmas party.
• 17:06
  SPEAKER_02: I got exposed to COVID and I need the quarantine.
• 17:09
  SPEAKER_02: Where I've heard that before, but I digress.

  SPEAKER_01: Uh well, well, and my dad, I don't know if you know, but my dad has been ex has exposed himself before to COVID.

  SPEAKER_02: That doesn't, that's not the same thing.
• 17:23
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, it doesn't probably not the same thing.
• 17:25

• 17:33
  SPEAKER_02: She's designing a board game about this podcast.

  SPEAKER_02: He's gonna be I think his dad is gonna be that piece that you always lose, you know, you always lose one piece out of the game, and I think that's that's the one, yeah.
• 18:17
  SPEAKER_03: That's a good point, Stevie.
• 18:19
  SPEAKER_01: Those board games tend to have you know, when you throw doubles, you end up in jail.
• 18:24
  SPEAKER_01: I think that my dad probably is.
• 18:26
  SPEAKER_02: He throws a lot of doubles, yeah.
• 18:28
  SPEAKER_01: He throws a lot of doubles, a lot of doubles, yeah.
• 18:30
  SPEAKER_01: He's been a very unlucky man in his life.
• 18:32
  SPEAKER_01: Uh a lot of doubles.
• 18:34
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I thought you threw doubles to get out of jail.
• 18:37
  SPEAKER_01: Well, you know, I I may be sad about that, but yeah, it could be, but he's not here.
• 18:44
  SPEAKER_02: Well, and and you know, I don't I I think he's coming, but you know, mom, I I I gotta ask, how's the how's the pregnancy going?
• 18:51
  SPEAKER_03: You know, I don't want to talk about it.
• 18:54
  SPEAKER_03: Oh you know, Jeff, Jeffrey, I'm not sure if you're aware, but your your father is not very helpful at all.
• 19:00
  SPEAKER_01: Well, yeah.
• 19:02
  SPEAKER_01: Uh you know, I would apologize for him if he was here, but he's not, so I'm not going to because you know, he never seems he never seems to be where he's supposed to be, except maybe the night that you got pregnant.
• 19:14
  SPEAKER_01: That's probably the last time.
• 19:16
  SPEAKER_03: I don't know that he was where he was supposed to be.
• 19:19
  SPEAKER_03: Uh no, I the last when we right before we talked last.
• 19:22
  SPEAKER_03: Remember, I had he he dropped me off in the parking lot, but he couldn't come inside because we were at the the what's the game place.
• 19:29
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, the yeah, Dave Buster's with all the kids, with all the little kids.
• 19:34
  SPEAKER_03: That wasn't a bad idea.
• 19:37
  SPEAKER_01: It's really unfortunate because he'd make he's a great father, but you know, he's got that legal issue.
• 19:42
  SPEAKER_01: So he's I guess you know, he's really good with kids, you know, normally.
• 19:48
  SPEAKER_04: But uh yeah, right.
• 19:50
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe he's not great with kids, but yeah, kids, kids meet when I say kids, I mean like adults.
• 19:55
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah, you mean like people 40 and under.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_02: Right.
• 19:58
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah, okay.
• 19:59
  SPEAKER_03: Well, maybe a little older, yeah.
• 20:01
  SPEAKER_03: Yeah, yeah, yeah.
• 20:03
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I if he's not here physically, Jeff, I I'm sure he's here in spirit because you know the Christmas season really affects everyone, even even felons, even street criminals, like like your dad.
• 20:15
  SPEAKER_02: You know, even even they are affected by the Christmas spirit.
• 20:20
  SPEAKER_02: And I know that he's thinking somewhere like, gosh, I wish I was in eccentric Ladyland Studios on that Christmas show with that at that party with my new son.
• 20:31
  SPEAKER_01: My faux son.
• 20:32
  SPEAKER_02: Your faux son.

  SPEAKER_01: My faux son.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Yeah.
• 20:34
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe in faux imprison.
• 20:37
  SPEAKER_01: I think that's exactly where I think there's a song about that.
• 20:40
  SPEAKER_00: I think he's just got stuck in the checkout lane from buying your gift for Christmas.
• 20:46
  SPEAKER_00: Oh, you know.
• 20:48
  SPEAKER_01: Oh, Meg, you have such a good heart.
• 20:50
  SPEAKER_01: You're you I I really respect you for you.
• 20:53
  SPEAKER_01: You're such an optimist.
• 20:54
  SPEAKER_01: I think we both know where he is, and you know he's not a pretty picture.
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_02: You know what?
• 20:58
  SPEAKER_02: It's it's gonna be like the gift of the magi, you know, like that that oh Henry story, you know.
• 21:03
  SPEAKER_02: He's you got him, you got him uh keys to his handcuffs, but he's out of jail, and he got you a comb for your hair that you had when we started this podcast, and that you don't have now.
• 21:14
  SPEAKER_02: See, that's right.
• 21:15
  SPEAKER_02: See, and that that's how that's how this is gonna work, see, and he'll he'll be here.
• 21:19
  SPEAKER_02: Oh yeah, yeah.
• 21:20
  SPEAKER_01: Well, I can't wait.
• 21:22
  SPEAKER_01: And uh I I literally I don't think we can wait too long.
• 21:25
  SPEAKER_01: Well, they will kick us out of here at some point.
• 21:27
  SPEAKER_01: And you know what's really amazing is as much as my dad has fault, my faux dad has faults, still such a better man than my real dad.
• 21:36
  SPEAKER_01: It's really kind of kind of interesting.
• 21:38
  SPEAKER_01: I I need to see I guess some counseling about that because it's uh well well, don't go to Dr.
• 21:43
  SPEAKER_02: Down the Field, she hates me, and I'm pretty sure she hates you too.
• 21:47
  SPEAKER_02: I she she she is not gonna come tonight, I don't think.
• 21:49
  SPEAKER_02: But I invited her, you know, in the spirit of Christmas.
• 21:52
  SPEAKER_02: I invited her, and in the spirit of Christmas, she told me to go.
• 21:55
  SPEAKER_02: Well, I won't I don't think I could say it on the podcast because we do have a few children that.
• 22:00
  SPEAKER_02: To listen.
• 22:01
  SPEAKER_02: But uh she said she's so she's probably not gonna come.
• 22:04
  SPEAKER_02: But I did want to invite her though.
• 22:05
  SPEAKER_01: Maybe you know, there are our Christmas miracles, Steve, and maybe uh Dr.
• 22:09
  SPEAKER_01: Fields will eventually want to see us again.
• 22:12
  SPEAKER_02: Maybe when she's broke and she needs to desperately need uh more clients, uh or if she gets tired of hearing all the same stuff, because we would always, yeah.
• 22:22
  SPEAKER_02: The one thing I really prided myself on is I was I would tell her stuff no other patient would.
• 22:28
  SPEAKER_02: I I mean I'd make stuff up.
• 22:30
  SPEAKER_02: I just I just tell her interesting stuff and just you know, and she's wow, I've never heard that before.
• 22:35
  SPEAKER_02: I every session she say, no one's ever said that before.
• 22:38
  SPEAKER_02: It's like, whoa, hey, that's so creative.
• 22:41
  SPEAKER_02: She'll miss that.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: She'll miss that.
• 22:42
  SPEAKER_02: And you know, Meg, you'll miss that in Florida too, I'm pretty sure.
• 22:46
  SPEAKER_00: I always knew you were a good storyteller, Steve.
• 22:48
  SPEAKER_02: Yeah.
• 22:49
  SPEAKER_00: I remember from Mrs.
• 22:50
  SPEAKER_00: Crosby's class, you were always a good storyteller.
• 22:54
  SPEAKER_02: Oh, yeah, Mrs.
• 22:55
  SPEAKER_02: Crosby.
• 22:56
  SPEAKER_02: Oh man, I told a story in her class one time.
• 22:58
  SPEAKER_02: She came from behind, she hit me with one of those spelling books, you know, those thick, they were little, but they were like uh they were about as thick as a shoe or something, you know, just boom, right in the back of the head.
• 23:08
  SPEAKER_02: Man, I wonder where that would pass out.
• 23:10
  SPEAKER_01: You know, we we might want to try to get in touch with her and maybe bring her on the show.
• 23:13
  SPEAKER_01: Meg, maybe we could surprise her and the two of you can have her back on the show and uh, you know, let's figure out you know what she's been doing with her life.
• 23:23
  SPEAKER_01: I think that would be interesting.
• 23:24
  SPEAKER_03: It would Stevie Stevie, you you get these address fields, lady.
• 23:29
  SPEAKER_03: I I feel like they these people need some packages left on their front step, and I don't think it's a package they would want to open.
• 23:36
  SPEAKER_02: No, it's one that they would have to stomp out because I'd light it first, right?
• 23:40
  SPEAKER_02: Yes.

• 23:59
  SPEAKER_02: We were always ahead of our time, Stevie.
