RIAN: “It makes me so happy that the picture of you that shows up on my phone when you call is a picture of you from before you were cool.”

RONEN: Ha, nice! Which picture?

RIAN: It’s from the Mountain Goats Shoot, and you’re standing there with a camera and a yarmulke and a big goofy smile.

RONEN: Well, I still have the camera and the big goofy smile.

RIAN: True.

Yes, that was me once.

That day was one of the great days.
