ready to be doing that today. Before we get on to our first topic, you finished up some tour

dates in Toronto, DC, New York, Dallas, and Austin this past week, and we're done now, or are we?

Yeah, I think we are. I'll know, we recorded two days. We recorded New York and Austin, and yeah, it'll just, you know, we'll see what that recording looks like and see what we intend to do with it. But yeah, it feels like we're done with this talk. Well, done with this talk, but I don't know about touring in general. I feel like you had more fun than you. I mean, for life, no, I don't think I'm done for life, but touring this talk, I mean, this talk, we've been touring for, what was it, 10 months, 11 months, something like that. Yeah. And it's evolved month by month and then maybe by, you know, 10% or so. And, yeah, I think I'm, I'm done repeating myself on this particular set of topics. But the good news is we might do something else in the future and we'll let everybody know when we have that figured out. We won't be sure about that. Yeah, no need to list all the celebrities and public figures that came out to see you, but I did think it was adorable watching you fan girl over one in particular, the comic Jordan Jensen. Yeah, oh my gosh. That was great. Yeah, that was hilarious.

And she has a Netflix special, but the thing that really got me into her was just seeing her

crowdwork clips on YouTube. I mean, she's just so good in that zone.

So yeah, she came out to the Beacon in New York. And yeah, I mean, I was, you know, I don't tend to get starstruck, but, you know, I fan-girled on her to a degree that just, I think, probably astonished her. Her mom was there, too, so it was kind of adorable. It was great. I had that Neil Brennan came out to the show as well, because I think everyone should listen to the podcast episode he did with you. Yeah, he's a very funny man, too. You should see his specials on Netflix. Yeah, he just seemed to turn the right dials and get great stuff out of you in ways that others haven't, including me. So, you know, if anyone wants to really hear more from you, that's a

great episode to do it. And just a reminder of the community, our new community, your new community
