and oh, oh, oh, Oh, Dave, how are you? I miss you. As we speak, I know I haven't talked to you in a long time because we're recording this early and you are about to travel.

Remind everybody where you're off to.

Well, we are going to Ireland for a couple weeks.

We're going to stay in a little fishing community in County Cork.

We're going to, you know, we we got like kayaks to go around the various islands.

We're just gonna, oh God, we're just, we're gonna live a peaceful and pastoral existence in beautiful sweaters and possibly not return.

On the way, a few days in London for the final ducky.

Oh my God, that's right.

Yes, and also the new Stephen Barris for play.

And then maybe have a voyage.

If we managed to secure some tickets.

It's a lot going on. And yes, we are going over our

nation's birthday because we're not coming to your birthday party this year.

America, you've been very bad. You need to earn our trust back. You need to earn our trust back. I'm not saying you can't do it, but you, but you, it's going to be a process. We're going to need to learn to trust you again. Yeah. We're not taking you to showbiz this year. Sorry, it's not happening.

You have not earned it. And it might be a while before we want to celebrate your birthday again.

It might be. Well, yeah, we recorded a bunch of episodes in advance, so we haven't acknowledged the latest chapter of the end of the world, and it is obviously old news by the time people are hearing this, but it feels like it still must be acknowledged.

I was kind of waiting for you to write something for Esquire about it that as usual

articulated everything I didn't even know how to say.

But that hasn't come out yet. No, it has not.
