Greetings to you, my dearest souls trapped in the net of time space.

It is I, D. Trucels.

And I welcome you to the Duncan Trussell Family Hour podcast.

Being broadcast from the top of the Empire State Building in New York City.

Right behind me is the beautiful New York City skyline.

Of course, you can't see it because I'm using a holographic technology to produce bricks.

But my God, if you could see what I see, incredible New York City with its incredible skyscrapers and parks and art museums all around.

It's so beautiful.

Pigeons flying through the air and everyone is happy.

Before we get going with this podcast, I do want to play something that I'm sure you've already

seen, but I want to tell you a little bit about it because on the William Montgomery episode, I didn't really get to introduce what's going on here.

Friends, I have made a breakthrough as an artist, and I'm doing, I would say, well, a lot of like very famous art critics are

kind of comparing me, some kind of combination of Basquiat and Picasso is what they're saying,

and kind of outsider artist, yet all of the technical skills that make up a truly

great artist that I've astounded Pierre Nevel who I'm sure you're you are familiar with

who that is he wrote like great art what it means for the world. And I got a beautiful telegram from him.

It's so funny getting a telegram because he only communicates with telegrams.

But he said that he only wishes that I had released what you're about to see before he finished his book.

And he was suicidal in the telegram.

And that's really fucked up because you know obviously when someone is expressing um

expressing that you know they might want to make that terrible decision like you have to act fast

but how do you do that with a telegram it was really fucking hard but i did get to him and he's fine
