TOM (Laughter) Well, you’re ruining the surprise for any new listeners that we have. KELVIN Oh, you think people will be surprised that we have coffee? TOM Yeah. None of our regular listeners. Both of them. (Laughter) KELVIN Yeah, you know we talk about it sometimes, right? I mean, I think at this point some people are like, “Stop! Don't fast forward.” Because some people think, you know, what somebody, said “Well, yeah, you guys were in this tangent about coffee,” and somebody else said, “Oh yeah, I skip past the coffee ‘til I realized it actually had something to do with the show.” TOM I've heard both, anecdotally. So, for those who hate the banter, sorry, I'm going to banter for just a bit. But some people like the coffee bit, and we don't do it too long. KELVIN I hope not.
