That's me. Yeah. Hey, thanks for having me. This is crazy. We're finally doing something. You and I specifically. Yeah, I mean, I've been on Friends for Second. Yeah. And so, like, we've done content, but I've never done like a one-on-one. Not in person either at all. In-person thing with you. Yeah. It's really cool to see you in the flesh.

You as well. I mean, I see you in the flesh enough. I'm already like, I got you.
