Hi, Andy Richter here. The three questions with Andy Richter, that's what you're listening

to. And I am talking to an old friend of mine. He is a, you know, a bon vivant, a culture

culture, a, a, a, a, a, a, a, commentary and with golden pipes. Um, and, uh, currently,

I mean, currently you're doing like six or seven different things. It seems like, but a very

busy man, Dave Holmes. Hi. Hi. How are you? I'm good. I'm good. He even, you sound like

me in a general trying to tell the person I'm meeting with what I do. It's, well, I mean,

I'm, but it is. It's kind of, and that's kind of one of the things I want to talk to you

is that you do have kind of that unique career that's kind of writer, kind of actor, kind

of, you know, opinion, giver about pop culture things and about, you know, in, in both sort

of, you know, from the sublime to the ridiculous, you know, I mean, how do you, how, how do

you describe yourself? What do you say? When, some of you said, what do you do for a living?

What do you say? That's the thing is that it's like, it's really hard to say. I mean,

right now I say writer. Yeah. For the last many years, I've said writer, but because

that's kind of the closest thing to it. Um, because you're a, you're an editor at large

meeting at, at Esquire magazine. So yeah, which means you, you can work for Esquire and

you don't have to live in New York. Is that what the, that's exactly right. Yeah. I don't

have to sit in meetings if I don't want to. Yeah. But I do want to because the, the people

I work with are great and, and smart and they, you know, keep me clued in. So like, I like

it. I, I've locked down has been fantastic because now everything takes place on Zoom

and where I used to be the one disembodied voice on a speaker phone, not knowing who was

speaking, not when it was my time to like pipe in. Now it's awkward for everybody. And,

and so it's like, it's, it's been kind of nice. I feel more integrated into the team. Yeah.
