We're at your home studio. You and your husband, Michael. I just did your podcast. We're going to have Michael on the show too. We're in Phoenix, Arizona, right? Yep. I think this is my first time in Phoenix. Is it really? Yeah, I think so. I was supposed to come here a few years ago to visit someone and there was a snowstorm and never ended up coming.
