Welcome to shaken and disturb the first of 2024, people.

I hope everyone had an amazing new year.

John, welcome back to the show.

Oh, I'm so excited to be back in the saddle.

I have my microphone in front of me this time.

If you listen to NMR from Thursday, I was so out of practice recording with Darren for a couple of weeks that my microphone wasn't in front of me.

Well, you got a new job, you got a new apartment. That's right. I did. For Ed Amar to find out why John is in Pittsburgh. But that is where he currently lives, is in Pittsburgh with a great Andy Warhol Museum. That's right. I can't wait to go. I have not gone. Have you gone to it? I have. Oh, when did you go? Um, probably like four or five years ago. I was, uh, going to Ohio and, uh, it's not that far from Pittsburgh. So, yeah, we went there because it was kind of like something to do. Um, and it was really cool. I live near it, actually. Oh, that's great. Isn't that weird? Yeah.

And there's like a hot dog store or something there that I remember.

Oh, okay. I have to check that out.

I'll have to look it up. I don't remember what it's called. Yeah, yeah. Guys, again, we thank you for a great 2023 and we are so excited for 2024. For we know that Chipsy Rose is free.

She has documented her first selfie of freedom, essentially.

You could hear it all about it on our recent NMR episode. We kind of dive into the implications a little bit of what that means, just like a general conversation. But we obviously want to hear from you. Let us know if you guys think this is a good thing, a bad thing. If Nick Go to John, who's got sentenced with life without the possibility of parole is a fair thing. Because, you know, I think there is an

intellectual argument to kind of make on both sides of the aisle here with that. I'd actually

be curious to talk to a bunch of lawyers about it. Yeah, that's a good point. But yeah,

great conversation. And before we get into this

week's case, I just want to say, John, thank you for always giving me the platform. But my game

show with our friend Darren is coming up January 18th in West Hollywood. A link of it is in our show

notes. Please buy a ticket if you are in the area and want to see it. It's about 75 minutes.

You can earn cash. Super fun. Just a really nice hour or so of your time.

Wonderful. Yeah, I can't wait for you guys to do that again. When was your last one? It's

been a few years, hasn't it? Oh, God. Yeah. I want to say our last one was 2022.

Two. Okay. Gotcha. Yeah. Well, that's exciting. I wish I could be there, but unfortunately, I'll be in Pittsburgh. But if you do more of them or you go on tour with it, come to Pittsburgh. You could do one right at the Andy Warhol Museum or something. Yeah, that would be fun like that. That'd be cool. I'm not Beyonce, but yeah, we're getting there.
