George, good morning.

It's great to be with you guys.

Monica and I are at that age where people are having those landmark birthdays on both sides of us,

and so it seems like every weekend there's like a 40th birthday or a 50th birthday,

and people go big on there, you know, those sometimes on those landmark birthdays.

And so a couple weeks ago,

my friend turned 40, and, uh, he wanted to go to a nice dinner. And so it's a restaurant I've never heard of, never been to, which is always a little bit unsettling because you're like, what do I wear? And I'm trying to figure, you don't want to be, we were a group of 25. So we didn't want to pull up and they're like, hey, we can't let you in, you know, the tall guys

and flip-flops.

So, so I'm trying to, you know, I'm trying to do my reconnaissance by the not why I'm wearing a blazer. I know some of you are like, oh, I see where this is going. No, no, that's not just coincidence. And so we're going to this restaurant and we get there and it's nice.

Like it's like one of the nicest restaurants I've ever been in.

Like almost like uncomfortable. So we're going to this restaurant and we get there and it's nice.

Like it's like one of the nicest restaurants I've ever been in.

Like almost like uncomfortable nice like mahogany, you know, everywhere, beautiful scene,

crystal, you know, white tablecloths, all the thing.

And it's a vibe.

Like there's a there's like a stage and they're playing

kind of like this jazz music and the dudes are in tuxedos you know singing with the the old school

microphone and there's a female vocalist and like a sequins gown and it's that vibe and the only

thing you hear in there is kind of the the music and low hum of conversation. It's just like a really

swank place. All of a sudden, everything changes. I mean, in one moment, it was just like

it became a different place. They pulled the people off the stage, DJ goes up there, they start

playing this big song and this gang of huge men walk
