How are they doing?

Family is doing well, Conan.

You know, we are.

Kids used to go to the same school, and now all the kids go to this.

My kid, I miss him.

He went off to a private school $45,000 a year from our kitchen online.

I know everyone's no matter.

So does that bother you that you're paying that much?

Can't see private school.

And he's in the kitchen on Zoom.

Yes, it does.

I'm trying to get my money's worth.

I'm sitting next to him and taking some classes, but I'm out of frame.

So the teacher doesn't see me like I took some digital photography yesterday or, uh, yeah, yes, it was.

It was a good class.

And then Tuesday's algebra, which I might skip but I'm looking forward to Thursday is the guidance counselor meeting.

I'm gonna go to Oh, you're going to go to the guidance counselor meeting?

Yeah, because it's a lot cheaper than a therapist.

You know, you're not supposed to talk to your child's guidance counselor about your personal problems.

I guess not.

But here's what I'm thinking.

Koning, tell me if you're on board with this.

Wouldn't it be cheaper?

Just keep your kid home.

Forget the online stuff and just have them listen to Ted talks and watch jeopardy for like, a year.

It would be cheaper for sure.

Yeah, and maybe just a good education, you know, Probably not quite as good, but close.

I think you've got a good idea there.

I really dio I have a lot of good ideas.

Well, let's not get crazy.

You know, I will say this.

I visited you, as I said, and I hate to repeat this, but just before your surgery, I think I'm the only real friend that came over to visit you.

And I noticed that you and your wife very good about masks.

Social distancing.

You didn't.

We ate outside.

Um, it was It was very nicely done on.

I was proud of you.

Thank you.

Well, you know, you have to be responsible in these covert times.

The difficulty with the mask is I don't get recognized as much anymore.

And I like I don't know about you, Conan, but I think you like attention.

You like to get recognized.

I think we all like like it when we walk down the street and, you know, attractive women just go crazy for us.

Yeah.

So what I've done was I've created a mask that looks exactly like this part of May on, yet still not recognized, Really.

Still not getting recognized.

But here's the great thing about the mask.

You could let your nose hairs just grow forever.

You don't brush your teeth, right?

You don't need braces.

Yep.

You can actually use the nose hair to tie the mask on to secure the mask.

This is all good advice, Like you said, in a lot of good advice and theories, You know, I think between cove it and your your shoulder surgery, you've had a lot of time to think, um, not about good or productive things, but you're You're generating a lot.

That's what I'll say.

Well, it's not a lot of time to think it's a lot of time to take painkillers.

So this is all coming from the pain killers?

Uh, well, just save me a pillar to, if you know what I mean.

What do you mean?

Not only do I know what you mean, but I hear what you're saying.

Yeah, and I said it very explicitly, so I don't know why I said, if you know what I mean.

I basically just told you to save me to pills.

But you are.

You're not a pill taker.

I know that.

I'm not.

I'm not a pill taker.

Grew up in a very strict Catholic family.

My father, my father, is a doctor.

There was no, you know, we didn't take medicines for anything.

We didn't take aspirin.

We never took any antibiotics.

Um, most of my brothers and sisters passed away in early childhood.

I was one of the only survivors, but I still put gently accidentally passed away.

Yeah.

Yeah, was not intentional.

They just, you know, we didn't have modern.

We didn't have modern medicine.

You know, my father as a as a doctor didn't believe in modern medicine.

No.

What about Western medicine Now he likes northern medicine.

Northern Medicine is the most underrated medicine in the world.

It's fixing.

I think everything with ice like that.

Look at that.

It's all ice.

Yeah.

There you go.

I've been living in a nice block, Conan, for, like, the last five years, my body has never been without an ice pack on something.

Uh, it's an attractive look for you to have those ice packs on you.
