So, Brett, this is breaking news. I don't usually have breaking news episodes, but, and I'm not a guy, you know, out and about.

0:49.0

But, uh, I happen to be at the Oscars for any of you guys there, happen to be. Definitely not. Okay, then I got the exclusive breaking news. It would suck if I had it. Then you guys

1:02.2

was raw that happened to be there too. Yeah, I saw that too. I'd be like, man, I wanted to break in news. And you're like, well, it's not breaking news. We all saw until days ago. Yeah, but I was boots on the ground. So I got some perspective there.

1:20.2

I'd like to give my perspective, Brett and guest, if you don't mind, will improvise on that. Okay. So we used to do this form called the check-in.
