Not me, my friend. I subscribe, rate, and review. Oh, thank you very much. When I first met you that what you know the the first met you I was just I was thinking about it today this morning as we were getting prepared to talk and I thought like I met you through somebody maybe like through one of the UCB people.

At a party or something and it was and it was you know, I don't know probably it's got to be at least 10 12 13 years ago and I but because I met you and I think you had weed and I was like, Hey, can you get me weed because it was at the like that period of my adulthood where.

You know there's there's like a gap year what at least are used to be like there was like there was your room.

You know everybody had weed and then you get married and you have kids and you're in to have a job and you're like, I have no idea where to get weed anymore.

And then before I was living. Yeah. And so like for you, I think in my phone, you may have been Ike parentheses weed for real. I think so, but I don't.

But because I was like because I wasn't sure I would remember Ike, but then of course it's time went on I got to know you.

I mean, this is just like the first time of meeting you and I remember where it was specifically you do because I yeah, we were at Amy Polars Beach House playing poker with Seth Myers, Josh Myers, DAC Shepard will.

And I had weed and and you were like, where did you get this? I was like, I don't know. I'm Eric.
