I don't like being told that. Oh, my gosh, you're so lucky because I think some of it might be luck or whatever, but a lot of it is, yeah, taking those chances. Like, I was on the Ellen show. I got that a lot. Oh, you're so lucky to be on the Ellen. I emailed Ellen. I filmed the video and sent it to Ellen. Like, performers tell me that all the time with the halftime shows.

over the past nine months.

They also hold a handful of Guinness World Records,

and we get into that on the episode as well.
