I think I've invited Robert to speak.

2.813 - 8.943 Adam Leventhal

And Craig and Chiark have deemed, now that I've given them, I've succumbed to their demands.

10.495 - 24.298 Bryan Cantrill

Listen, the podcast starts when Craig and GRX says it starts. I also do love this is we getting a little bit of a Tomax and Zaymont thing and that they like, you would think you might have some redundancy with the twins here, but they actually apparently think with a like mind.

24.318 - 27.539 Adam Leventhal

At least a like set of permissions in Discord.

28.66 - 51.144 Bryan Cantrill

Listen, Tomax and Zaymont shared the pain. These guys share permissions. It makes more sense. It's a little less fantastical. It's a little more pedestrian, a little more quotidian, but come on. I mean, this is just like, you know, we're just trying to be realistic over here. There you go. Robert, you're here. Yeah, good evening. Excellent. How are you?

51.164 - 60.265 Bryan Cantrill

You know, our former colleague, Alex Wilson, said, you know, it is really great to see you kicking off Robert Moustaki Appreciation Week this way.

61.446 - 64.046 Robert Mustacchi

That's funny. I got a very different sounding message from him.

66.323 - 89.37 Bryan Cantrill

No. I don't know if you quite ate the hook the way I did, but I was just like, Oh, we, is that a, is that a thing we do? Is that like an annual thing? Because we have a, our colleague CJ has a kicks off and there is an Eric Anderson appreciation day here at Oxide for one of our employees. So like, it seems like a reasonable thing that we would do to have a Robert Moustaki appreciation week.

89.45 - 112.483 Bryan Cantrill

I don't know. I'm like, have we, have we, so after like, I can't quite tell if he's joking or not. So I did ask him, like, are we, is that, is that a good thing? Have we done that? He's like, oh yeah, it's definitely a thing. Like we've got, it's documented in rm.c and there are, it's actually an extraordinary block comment complete with diagrams. And I'm like, okay, what, where, where's this?
