All right.

Okay, everybody, well, welcome.

It is 6.59 p.m. on the East Coast from our cozy little cafe here in New York.

It's the 29th day of November, 2024, which, I don't know how many times this year I'm going to have to say, I can't believe it's this date.

But as I always say, it's, you know, it's November 29th,

four years from now already. Because in 2020, I said before you know, it'll be 2024. And then that,

that moment just passed right now. It's gone. It's never coming back. So here we are.

And it was a great rainy, cold Thanksgiving, but I liked it because it was a very rare Thanksgiving.

I didn't have to go anywhere.

So aside from a nagging tension headache and a little bit of stomach cramps when I woke up, it because anything I ate hadn't eaten yet stomach cramps said what the hell is this all about sitting in church with

aurora didn't know if I was going to explode at any time I thought I was going to explode

I said just please let me wait wait until I get home so I can bleed the radiator then.

And I think everything worked out for the best. It was all right.

Took a little nap in the middle of the day. I never do that. So you knew something was wrong or

almost wrong. Anyway, here we are tonight for a Black Friday engagement. We always come back

for Black Friday, especially since there's no way I can

take it off when we have a Tony Black in our lives. So now tonight, I got my mother here. What's

going on, Mom? Hi. How you feeling? Good to be back. Isn't it nice? Yeah. How do you like to

do the studio so far?

I love it.

A lot of black going on.

Yeah, I know.
