Hello and thank you so much for joining us once again.

It is the Knightley Pleasures podcast.

I am your host and the author of The Peace You're going to hear today.

The Grey Knight. You can call me Daddy. You can call me Jackie. You can call me what you want, just keep on coming back. Hi, that was a real breath.

Whoa, shit. I didn't have another one. Oh, fuck. Coming to you live from the top of my own ego.

How y'all doing? The answer is not great.

If I've heard you right, the answer is, nah.

But I said we were going to go through hell together, and I was going to be the party barge, right?

Everybody else is on the same river sticks.

They've got the same flaming, they've got the same flaming skeletons all around them. Uh-huh. But, like, whereas I used to say, like, well, I mean, you have to

pipe in the ambient sound. Like, you got to play a little Carmina Burina. You got to, like, you know,

we're in hell. Listen to me, be in hell. But now, like, all right, we're in hell. Listen to me be in hell. But now, like,

all right, we're in hell, but like, I gotta tell you, my shift is ended. So, like, I'm going to just

be like, all right, well, you, I'm going to drop your kids off every day, I guess, and come back for

you. I'm sorry that I'm doing to you what my parents did to me, which is not parenting.

But good luck. There's a lot of guys out there who offered to be your dad. You knew what you were

getting. I mean, with a high level approximation, you're like, oh my God, this asshole. But he does occasionally do poetry,

and I think he can actually say the words

mostly right sometimes.

I will put up with it for now.

In all sincerity, I could make today about me,

and there was, in fact, a whiplash moment where I did, and I thought, you egotistical bastard. But then I've been reading a lot of what women. Not women I know. I've not discussed this with a single woman. I've said, this might be the worst thing I've ever done. Watch out. Cowboy 2025. I've not checked with even Allie about this one. But I've been reading a lot of just stuff about women.
