Podcast. Podcast starts now. What is up? Everyone around the globe. We are coming at you from sunny Los Angeles, California. I have to tell you, you know, there's no way around it. I'm enjoying myself in L.A. this time around. I'm so curious to hear about that perspective. Am I not glowing? I mean, maybe not physically because I'm actually newly off acutane, so my skin has never looked worse. But I think, thank you. I think, well, there is actually professional lighting on me right now. So I am glowing from outside rather than from within. But I don't know. It's like I'm really having this second wave of Los Angeles affection. Sorry, my stomach is grumbling. So do I think mine was too. It might have been mine. Oh my God. We're synced. Oh my God. This is amazing. That's really cool. Even though you just had a breakfast breed. Well, it's grumbling for a different reason. Explain yourself. Oh, you're like ready to sort of go to step two. Step one, eat step two. Whink. Whereas I've had two iced ameranos and I am not feeling good. Okay, so you're liking Los Angeles? Yeah, I don't know. What are you liking? What's different? I think what it is is you have to, like you genuinely have to be busy and if you're not, you will want to jump off a bridge. And I've been lucky enough that this time around I've had things to do places to be friends to see,

and I'm not kind of like, you know, finding myself walking 40 minutes because I don't want to take an Uber to like,

you know, a sort of like meeting with the assistant of like a raccoon that lives on the street

so that they can be like,

we love your energy.

Well, it's actually an interesting point. Have you, like, you're not like doing a million meetings. Excuse me? No, like in a good way. Like in a good way. Like, like you're self-confident. Oh. So I'm, so you think I'm flopping. You think people are responding, maybe attending to the calendar invite and then not showing up.

I don't think you're doing meetings in like the, like the young way. But you know, Sam, when you're as booked as I am, you actually don't have time for meetings. You know, it's more about current projects and potential projects. So basically that's what I mean. Like, you're not like doing the thing where you're like, oh, I'm Ubering to Beverly Hills for a random meeting. I'm... Yes.

What I'm doing is I'm cosplay actually living here.

I'm not treating it as visiting.

I'm treating it as like, it's normal.

I know what I'm doing.

I have my places to be.

And I don't know.

I'm like, I'm seeing the light.

Well, it's bright out.

I'll tell you that much.

No, I, similarly, I've had an amazing morning start to finish.

I, of course, went to the gym, the only place on earth where I'm happy.

So you, have you actually talked about this on non-Patron?

You're in this gym that is basically a sort of networking, kind of like all... You know, he's trying to neg me. Am I allowed to talk during this part? You are technically. We tell the guests not to, but we hope they feel enough familiarity where they do anyway. Well, we're setting it's a trap that we set for you. Because if you don't talk, then it's like, so does she not have a personality?
