Good evening, good evening, my friends. Welcome to Friday night live 16th of January, 2026. And just by the bye, I've decided to stop feeling old. I don't know why this is going to be the year I turn 60. 60 feels different from everything else. Everything else you can vaguely double and maybe you're still around. 50 to 100 maybe, but 60 to 120,

that's pushing your dice quite a bit. That's pushing your dice quite a bit. It's not going to happen,

so closer to the end than the beginning, and it's kind of been warming its way into my bones a little bit.

If you're younger, enjoy, enjoy as you get older, you'll begin to see that there's not

just an endless tunnel, not just a conveyor belt of days.

It's not round and round like a carousel.

I wrote a poem when I was in my teens about how nature's kind of an asshole, because she

always renews.

You know, winter goes to spring, to summer, to fall, she renews, she renews.

But we don't.

Shot from a cannon.

We hit the meridian.

And then we fall, baby.

Hopefully leaving a bright trail of sparkly thoughts with us as a whole or behind us, as a whole.

I poured my heart out about the late Scott Adams.

You know, obviously I texted him before he died back and forth a little,

just telling him all of the great things that he'd done.

He was, anyway, it's a private conversation.
