Well, and your position for those at home is almost flat on your back.

That's gravity at work, Claire, you know? Yeah.

That food goes in and it goes right down.

Thank you, Isaac Newton.

Speaking of which, I'll have an apple.

Ah! You know you blame me.

You know you blame me.

You know, you can do office museums, bespoke cocktails, live shows.

How much

money does a child have for crying out loud? We are looking for owners of ponies.

People who have spent a lot of money, who are invested in taking care of those ponies with their kind of chewed away hooves.

What can they do? To prolong the life of that beloved pet.

Bring it in to the hoof spa.

Okay.

You know what we say in the PR game? It's yes and.

Let's go with your, in quotation marks, idea.

And I'm so sorry I interrupted you.

So I was out selling my unabridged works of William H. Shakespeare door-to-door when I knocked on a door and discovered that my knock was shockingly silent.

Where was that usual rat-a-tat-tat of knuckle-on-wood that I'd grown so accustomed to? Well...

My knuckles were hitting on the thatched door of the Old Globe Theater, made of waddle, daub, and thatch.

The

lost writings of William H. Shakespeare.

Shakespeare.

So what I had been peddling, Claire, as the complete words, suddenly I realized are no longer complete.

With an experience that a lot of us would consider traumatic.

Claire, before my first experience with the flightless birds, I was in a zone of comfort, a zone of peaceful familial bliss.

where flightless birds simply didn't enter into our everyday world.

We were surrounded by sparrows, by wrens, even by crows.

And I stepped right out of my comfort zone into an unfamiliar situation.

Let's keep moving on, please.

But what I brought to the conversation, Claire, was I pointed out to Gus, these ostriches are big and dumb, but they're wonderful animals that really could serve as the inspiration for multiple singing and dancing musicals.

I think, really, once we set the ostriches aside and started focusing on the emus, mostly for the fact that they were so easy to rhyme with.

Well-

So I want you to imagine a label on a fine bottle of ice wine, but printed using that same technology.

As the temperature of the wine changes to match the temperature of the room, the wording on the label changes, actually matching the tipsiness level of the drinker.

It's a whole cycle, and it has led to nothing but sales, sales, sales.

If there is a place for our, um, listeners to go to invest, donate, I will put that in the show notes.

What I would recommend is, uh, starting with a real estate investment.

We do have a real estate wing to the wine factory.

Um, don't wanna play that up and make it sound like it's just a money grab, but, uh, anybody who would like to live near the wine factory or the wine yard is welcome to call up Monty in the front office.
