I'm I'm not going to be. Hey everybody.

It's NMR.

Hello.

We've been changing it up a little bit where, you know,

Darren has traditionally started the show. But you know what? I said enough is enough. And, you know, it's about to be Pride Month. Like, can I have a little bit of, you know, star time? Yeah, you don't get enough from me. You don't get enough from me. I think you're right. You know? We need to get right into something because I'm actually really annoyed about this. And I'm glad that we're doing a public NMR. No, let's air our grievances. Let's festivist this. Let's just say. Let's air it. Well, first of all, first of all, there's a lot of things that play here about this topic, which is your birthday. Now, we're airing this. It'll be, I think, a day or two after your birthday.

So happy birthday. Now, we're airing this. It'll be, I think, a day or two

after your birthday. So happy birthday. Hope it went great. Oh, wow. That's sincere. Yeah.

Or one of my best friends. Cool. Well, you know what? I sent you guarding these of the galaxy

stuff just because, but you're, yeah, cool. You only turned 35 once, right? You did send me that stuff. And then I posted about it on Instagram.

I said, leave it to Carpe Daryne to surprise you with a package full of Guardians of the Galaxy swag just because she loves you. Guardians, you know, and I listed everything out. And I said, her birthday is next week and I currently have no plans.

Watch the space. So, you know, listen. Okay. And I realized in that moment that, you know,

why don't I get my shit together this year for your birthday for the first time literally ever?

That's a great question. I've been asking that myself for every year we've known each other,

which has been since like 2014. So almost 10 years, John. I will say I just saw a Facebook post that was like

celebrating nine years with Darren Karp as your friend on Facebook. And I was like, yeah,

that tracks. It just sometimes it feels like we just met in the, in the most loving way possible. but then sometimes it feels like I've known you my whole life.

Days are long and years are short.

Yeah, it's true.

It's very true.

But anyway, no, I completely agree.

So anyway, so I thought, I'm going to find something cute for her.

Like, let me go right to the internet and find something.

Because, you know, listen, where I live, there's not really much going on shopping-wise. So it'd have to be something really. And I was like, you know, I'd gotten you some Funko stuff. And I know you're about to move. So I'm like, I don't want to get her things that are going to clutter up her new apartment or worse yet, get away. So I was like, yeah, because all of
