Thank you for joining. How are you doing?

I'm doing okay. But the real question, how are you doing? How, how has everything been in the aftermath of what I presume has been kind of a whirlwind last 48

or 72 hours here?

You know what? That's a really great question, Brian. And I think a fair answer, would

you be surprised if I said, I don't know?

No, I mean, look, it's, I think anything other than that would have been, you know, would

have been difficult, difficult to believe.

I mean, talk about highs and lows from what happened just a few days ago to obviously, you

know, there was a very viral clip of you at the Grammys.

And so I'm curious, like, what was the reception like for you in a room

with all of those people? You know, look, notwithstanding the fact that there are folks in the

entertainment industry, but, you know, these are people who fight to push back against the excesses

and abuses of this administration on a daily basis. And you are literally on the front lines. Yeah. And you heard that. I mean, look, they were not shy about their criticism of this administration at the Grammys, right? Right. And some major artists. And usually as of late, we've seen people trying to, you know, move away from politics in this, but they were very open to speaking about it.

And usually when I cover these things, like the Grammys or something like that, you know, I'm not looking to talk to them about politics or foreign policy or anything like that. you know, it's, it's, you know, things that have to relate to the industry. Like last year at the Grammys, we talked about the fires, and they were raising money for people with the fires.

And of course, there were other things that sometimes they bring up.

But this year, people were very focused on ice.

We're wearing the ice out buttons and just not really shying away from it.
