You don't appreciate how wonderful it is. It's not just because we're at Green Mill, though I do love coming to Green Mill. Yeah, we are at Green Mill downtown. I realize, you know, you like to go to Uptown for these things. We've probably done, I don't know. And do you notice every time we go, almost every time we come here, I try to pick a place that there's a parking lot for you? Yeah, I was going to say, so I realized John always text, you know, infamous pre-show prep, which is John texts at 8 and goes 8.30, and I go, all right, where? He goes, Green Mill, and what did I say? I said, what's the parking situation? that's the only thing i always pick a parking lot place yeah so i used to think i was like didn't like uh driving in terms of like knowing where i'm going uh-huh but i really think it a lot of it's parking is parking i don't know what my big fear is like that i'll have to parallel park and i won't be able to do it and have to drive around the block twice. It's a weird. So what you're saying is that whatever bar we go to buy, it has to have a parking lot. Yeah. Not just for the patrons, although you recognize that as a value for the patrons, but for you. Oh, yeah. It's just got to have a parking lot for whatever bar. If you want a Gleman and the Geek podcast, prestigious recording of this podcast in your bar or restaurant or a state, get yourself a big parking lot. At least big enough for a Honda fit. Yeah, exactly. 2013 Honda Fit. And a 1997 Toyota Ravre 4. Yeah, I don't care about.
