Dennis Scully· Host0:00

[upbeat music] This is Business of Home. I'm Dennis Scully, and welcome to the Thursday show. Later on, I'll be speaking with BOH Editor-in-Chief Caitlin Peterson to recap High Point Market, but first, we're gonna catch up on the news, including bankruptcy for Renn Kitchens, a Charles Cohen update, and the most valuable design auction in US history. To do all that, I'm joined by Business of Home's Executive Editor Fred Niklaus. Hi, Fred.

Fred Nicolaus· Host0:34

Ciao, Dennis. How's it going?

Dennis Scully· Host0:36

Ciao, Fred. [laughs] How long has it been?

Fred Nicolaus· Host0:38

Oh, too long, Dennis. Too long.

Dennis Scully· Host0:40

Too long.

Dennis Scully· Host1:03

Oh, sure. Sure. Should we compare the Milanese cuisine- [laughs] ... to the, uh, to the High Point Fair? I see where this is going, Fred.

Fred Nicolaus· Host1:11

Well, they have a pretty good Biscuitville in Milan.

Dennis Scully· Host1:13

Mm.

Fred Nicolaus· Host1:13

So I, I think we both ate well.

Dennis Scully· Host1:16

Yes.

Fred Nicolaus· Host1:16
