Hello, happy Thursday.

I am very excited to share my conversation with the always awesome and brilliant David Rothkopf.

If you want to jump to it, it begins at about 28 minutes in.

But I've got your news and your clips.

It's Thursday.

We will be hanging out.

I'll host a Zoom hangout at 8 p.m. For anybody who is a paid subscriber on Substack or Patreon, if you don't get the email, you can email me. Stand Up with Pete at gmail.com, and I will make sure that you get the link to join us tonight at 8 East. It should be a good hangout. You're not going to want to miss it. It's one of the best parts of the week. Always rejuvenating and exciting and really funny and thoughtful. It's so, so good. If you've never come, you can just join us. You can turn your camera off. You don't have to say anything, no pressure. We usually get like 50 people there in a great conversation, and you're never alone if you're a member of the stand-up community.

So join us tonight and anytime on the Discord platform, which I also do not promote and plug

enough, but there's an ongoing conversation with stand-up subscribers and friends from our community

on the Discord platform, which is just a chat platform. You should download the Discord app and you should get in there.

If you want directions, they are in every day's show notes. If you don't see them or need more help,

email me. I'll help you get in that chat. It's the easiest way to connect with people,

to fight the lonely and the scary and all of the rest. You get some laughs, you get some links, you get some friends in the Discord platform and

in the stand-up community.

Can't do it without you.
