It means a lot to us.

It was a very busy week, and I want to start by thanking everyone who sent me a message on social media,

wishing me a happy birthday.

That meant a lot. It was really, really great. If I have the, if I, if I can, I just want to go on a little jaunt for a second on the birthday.

I went to go, there's something called Luckyseats.com in New York where we, you can win lottery tickets for cheap Broadway tickets. So I did.

I won them.

And I went to see Sunset Boulevard with Nicole Scherinser, I think is her last name.

She's from the Pussycat Dolls in America's Got Talent. I'm sure you may have seen her picture or her song somewhere.

Anyway, so she's starring in Sunset Boulevard. She's getting all this praise. We go to see it. I've seen the original with Glenn Close, you know, a while ago. And everyone's saying this is like the show to

see. I go to see it. It was a flaming pile of garbage. It was horrible. In my opinion,

it was one of the top five worst things I've ever seen. The show is from a Billy Waller movie

from the 50s. It's not a musical. The original movie, it was made to a musical by Andrew Lloyd

Weber, starring Glenn Close on Broadway. Patty Lupone started it in London. It's about an aging silent

film actress in the 1950s and 40s, rather, who wants to make a comeback. And she's kind of going

insane because she's believing that she's kind of going insane

because she's believing that she's as famous as she used to be.

And it worked for Glenn Close because Glenn Close kind of looks a little crazy once in a while,

like the 101 Dalmatians Glenn Close.
