Okay, see what's going on?

Oh my gosh.

So the other day, I'm walking down Market Street and for context, this is like, you know,

maybe like one of the main thorough affairs in San Francisco.

And over the past year, this is a little bit obnoxious, but I would say four or five times

someone has recognized me from the podcast and stopped me and want to take a picture.

It always makes my day, hard work listeners are the best. It had happened to me just the previous week. Well, then this weekend, I'm coming home from the gym. And you know how you are when you're coming home from the gym. Your face is flush. Yeah, you're sweaty. You're sweaty. Your hair's all over the place. And this very sweet young woman comes up to me and asks for a picture.

And of course, I'm thinking, I kind of look, you know, gross right now, but anything for a hard fork listener, right? And she's there with a guy who I assume is, you know, her boyfriend or her husband. And so, you know, I put on a show and I'm introducing, you know, hey, and you know, what's your name and all that? She hands me her phone and they go and they stand up against the street with their backs turn, you know,

so they can get kind of San Francisco in the background.

And that's when I realize these people have no idea who I am.

They are just tourists and they want a picture of themselves in San Francisco.
