Oh no. Oh no, you're seeing my eyes. Okay. Now I can get to work. Oh, we're back in the studio. Let me give you a crack for all the haters.

Oh my God.

Oh, my God.

I'm an animal.

Okay, well, I'm happy to be back.

We're back here.

I took a week off and apologies to those dedicated listeners, but I needed a break.

It's doing this. I's doing this. I'm so busy. And I'm in a new contract. So two weeks in,

took a break. Gotta get them in early, you know, just so you set the tone. This is what's going on. Let me set my expectations. I already negotiated my episodes down to 45 for a year,

which is seven weeks off. Now I'm down to six, but I will be using them them but not willy-nilly only if I need to

and I did set myself free a little bit when I decided I was going to skip it was going to be

impossible but I did miss you I miss you I was in New York working a lot I I was staying in the Bowery.

I can't.

I can't say enough about it.

Honestly, I would only leave.

I was rotting in there.

And I would leave once a day to rip an American spirit.

You know, they burn slow.

They burn nice and slow. So it was a good break from reality. Every time I'd be like,

oh, you want to like step outside. And then my partner in crime, whoever, I decided to rip a heater

with, could never finish it, but I could. It went down like water. But now I have to lay off because I do worry about my health.

Surprisingly, not so surprisingly.
