Ba dum bum bum, bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum bum Joanne, you're always on time.
Stefan, Mabdeb, whatever that means, come on in here.
Happy Thanksgiving to all of you.
While you're coming in, I'm going to start with my first thing I'm thankful for by turning my camera around.
If you look out that window, you're going to see something that you haven't seen before, which is the air around me is breathable.
Ta-da! It's good news.
It's been over a week since we've been allowed, I mean in a healthy sense.
What is the air quality?
Let's ask my phone.
The air quality is good, at 19 right now.
Boom! So, 19.
I guess that's a measure of how many particles per whatever in the air.
So, it's 19 now.
It was over 200 a few days ago.
And over 200, you know, you don't even let the dog go outside to take a poop.
That's some dangerous stuff.
Although I did, but it was dangerous.
Yes, the rain.
The rain helped us.
So, let us drink.
To the rain. And let us have the simultaneous sip Thanksgiving version.
Join me, will you? I'll give everybody a minute.
Some of you are with your relatives.
Tell the relatives to gather around and watch what you've been watching all year, except this is the bad version because it's the holiday version.
And then your relatives will look at it and they'll say, um, I don't get why you watch this.
He's just drinking coffee and babbling.
It's going to be a mystery to them, but maybe a few of them will become hooked on the simultaneous sip.
Join me now.
Grab your cup, your mug, your glass, your vessel, your stein, your chalice.
Get it ready. Fill it with your favorite beverage.
I like coffee. And join me for the simultaneous sip.
I would like to say, to start off, I am thankful to all of you, all of my regular and irregular viewers of these periscopes.
I have to tell you that there are many days in which the time I spend doing this with all of you is some of my best minutes of the day.
It's something I enjoy the most.
I look forward to it every time I do it.
And I think this is really one of the things that's different about the whole Periscope thing is somehow I figured out how to get rid of all the bad parts.
Of presenting yourself to a big audience.
So here are all the bad parts.
The bad parts about presenting to big audiences are travel, arrangements, you know, showing up on time.
I don't even do this at the same time every day.
If I want to throw one in in the afternoon or skip a day, I just do it.
But most of the time, it's around 7 a.m.
Pacific. So I've gotten rid of all the planning.
Then I don't worry about what I'm wearing.
I literally do this in whatever clothes I have on.
So most days you see me in whatever I slept in the night before.
So when you see me in my t-shirts, it's usually I just woke up in that t-shirt.
So I've gotten rid of the travel, the clothing, the timeliness, and I also got rid of most of the preparation.
Because what I do is I talk about what's new, and I usually have an opinion as soon as I hear the news, so I don't really have to prepare.
You know, I usually take some notes before I do these, but they're just, you know, bullet points of what my topics are so I don't forget the topic.
So, I got that going for me.
Then, have you ever tried to watch any other periscopes?
