This is an I-Heart podcast.

Guaranteed Human.

I went to South by Southwest.

I did two panels for the red weather, which was super fun.

Got to bring some of my cast out and answer questions about how we made that.

And it was just a blast.

Like South by is super fun. And it was the oscars were there so we

had like a big oscar party at our house that we were renting and got to see all these filmmakers

and friends and it was great um but so this one this one this is just the the classic uh experience

um that i know you guys have had, where your sense of confidence is completely

at odds with the way the world perceives you.

God, yes.

So, you know, I just don't, you know, I pride myself on being somebody who doesn't care

about the way they look or what people think of me.

I want to be the most confident person in the world. You know, I like, I try and, you know, I don't judge people by how they look or how they dress. I, you know, I hope people don't do the same for me. So anyway, but then there are these things and times we have to be a celebrity and I'm so bad at it. So while I was there,

I heart has the I heart podcast awards and they asked me to present. And I was like, yes, this is

fun. This is good for me to be talking about the red weather, which is something I'm so proud of.

And I spent a year and a half working on and like I want I wanted to get as much attention as possible.

And also I love podcasts. So I get to meet other podcasters and give out an award.

So I should never agree to do award shows. I'm so bad at them. They make me so nervous.

It's a live event. It's dealing with, you know, whatever. So huge mistake. I got through it. I'm glad I did it. Whatever. But before I go, I'm sitting there, you know, where I'm having brunch with friends. We're all, you know, we had all been up late the night before. And then it was like, oh, we're having brunch. And I'm like, oh, God, I got to go home and change because I got to go to the award show. I'm going to have to do like this red carpet.

And like, you know, my friends around the table are like, why you got to change? You look great, writer. And I look down. I'm wearing like what I'm wearing. And I'm like, well, I don't know. Like I don't even put my contacts in. I got my glass. And, like, you know, my one friend, Abby, who's like young and cool and lives in New York. And like, you know, I think she's got good taste. And she's like, you know, writer, you're a good looking guy. You're like, you're getting into like an aging cowboy look, which is really cool. And I was like, oh my God, that is like the greatest compliment I've heard in years.
