How long gone? What up?

Chris Black. I'm back in the United States of America. I'm in New York City. It's been a couple hours. So far, so good.

Unbelievable. It's truly unbelievable. Them jeans. How are you doing today? I'm good. I'm good. Just in the middle. Balls deep right in the middle of a three-peat

pod recording week because we have some travel coming up. But what a great diverse musical week

that we're in. I'm feeling great. Thank you. I'm working out. I'm going to do some.

Just thank you to everyone who got in touch to me to let me know

they were, they were really impressed with our sort of wherewithal when our last guest, when our last

guest gave us absolutely nothing. And I said, usually when someone gives us absolutely nothing,

I don't like it, but this time for some reason I loved it.

And I think it was actually so fun.

I don't know what got into me, but Cass wasn't really given us much, but I think he had a good time too.

Is that your feeling?

I think he had a good time.

I think it's one of those situations where to him, that was like doing, you know, kill Tony level of fun but then the way that it's

projected out onto you know the audience one could easily confuse that for lack of interest or

desire to be there but i think he's just a like you know he said he's a self-proclaimed

grumpy guy just sort of across the board day-to-day basis you know in a larry david kind

of cramogen way but he also is uh sometimes a man a few words but he's a giggler you know he's

just a weird guy no it's true he gave us he gave us more than he had to

considering what i was expecting um you know based on yeah reputacion but whatever it was fun

not every uh not every battle is easy but we got the fish in the boat and that's what counts

that is what counts jason you've always got your eye on the price yeah i um
