Welcome to Questions from the Closet. I'm Charlie Byrd.

And I'm Ben Shalatti. And we are so excited to be here.

This is like amazing. Before this, we're talking about people going to show up for this.

Like, we've never done anything in Arizona, and like, I'm just like floored at how many people are here.

Which I guess brings us into our similarity and difference.

Ben and I are not totally diverse. And we share many opinions and life experiences.

We're both in Arizona right now.

But I love Arizona so much more than Charlie does. And never could.

Yes, thanks to your applause.

And Charlie said, we've never done anything in Arizona before, which is true.

But I have done a lot of things in Arizona.

And the LGBTQ space, and I'm grateful to be back here again.

And I actually spoke at the all conference here on this stage, like five years ago maybe.

And so this space literally is is familiar to me, and I'm so grateful to be here again.

It's also interesting that Ben said five years ago, because today I got a time hop on my phone.

And Ben and I met five years ago today.

So this is this is our five year anniversary happy anniversary, boo.

Anyway, we are so excited to be here.

We love doing these live events, meeting people, and answering some questions in real time.

So you can just so you know that we don't edit everything we say.

Like we can speak off the cuff.

But we're excited and we're thrilled to have green as our host.
