We're up. Welcome to America, Russell. Thank you for making me welcome in your space and your country.

My pleasure. How you been brother? It's been an unusual time. I've not been here for three years.

I just went to Los Angeles. I have a house there visited it. It was like a sort of a time

capsule, you know like notes for stand-up shows I was doing there and the graffiti has changed in the city of

LA and the feeling of that city is altered and you can tell that some sort of window some portal

has been passed through and of course I'm aware of because it's a global event I'm aware of what that has been but it's yeah it's strange to be back here.

Yeah it's interesting when you go away from something and then you come back and

there's like a tangible feeling of change. Yeah, it's, I mean I guess because I talk about American

culture a lot, I come with a degree of anticipation, but it was a

torrential rainstorm in Los Angeles. I'm aware that like you've moved out of

there that a lot of significant people in the

space that I work in have moved out of there and there was a feeling of

uncannyness and eariness some of the familiar sights for homelessness have been cleansed as if by Travis Bickel's

rain, you know, it's sort of like just... Really? They moved homeless people?

For example, Gower Street. The Gower Street the Gower Street

there would always be sort of like a little tented community there that seems to have

been moved along and maybe a perfect metaphor for that problem you know know, moving them rather than really, you feel like

those homeless people are still somewhere rather than that problem has found a resolution.

No one really has a tangible resolution.
