Later on, I'm gonna be talking to an engineer, a gentleman called Michael, Michael Test.

Uh, um, never met him before.

Really excited to, uh, sit down and get into the, get into the nitty-gritty with him of, of engines.

I wonder [laughs] I wonder what happened with, with engines that they became so important that they became a whole professions ...

Like engineers work on a lot of different stuff.

N- not all of them are engines, right? These are the kind of questions I'll be asking Michael Test, and he, he, he certainly won't get irritated with me when, uh, [laughs] as, as, as most of our guests inevitably do at one point or another when I, when I bring up an essential part of their comedic premise.

In any case, so thrilled to have you here.

This is gonna be a great show.

I don't wanna toot my own horn too much.

[laughs] I, I hadn't thought about that phrase before, before, uh, saying it, but toot my own horn.

Who e- who else's would I toot? I'm not a horn thief, you know? If I own a horn, it's my God-given right to toot it, right? It's my responsibility, in fact.

I would say if one owns a horn, which to be clear, I do.

I own, uh, several kinds of horn.

Let's see.

Let's, let's list them.

Uh, French, uh, trumpet, uh, trombone, uh, uh, plenty.

Matter.

Shut up, Tom.

[laughs] Matterhorn, I own a ...

I do own a matterhorn.

That's true.

Um, and you know what? I will toot any and every one of them at my goddamn leisure.

I will also rent them out if anyone wants to toot my horns on my behalf.

Um, uh, you can, you can find my horns on, um, the horn equivalent of, of Airbnb.

Airhorn and Horn? No.
