You know, lots of change, you know, pulled the rip court on New York and made them look. Yeah, you were living the nomad life for a minute.

I did a little nomad life.

You know, that was extenuated

a little bit on social media, right, just to kind of maximize the trip, you know, and there was so much to show there. But I've been in, you know, L.A. now since end of January, beginning of February, and it's tough. After 15 years in New York, it was just time to pull the rip court. It was time to get out of there, you know, the pandemic and everything else that's happened. Just it was time to get out of there, it makes a move. Absolutely, you got out of there the perfect time, to be honest. Like you got out of there right when it was like the city was basically dead throughout the pandemic and it's just now kind of starting to come back so you
