Of course.

Just since we're speaking broadly here.

I don't know if you checked this out, but there is a documentary on Martin Short on Netflix.

It is called Marty, Life is Short, and I recommend it.

for fans of comedy, for fans of Barton Short, obviously.

But it's a great glimpse into a person who seems like a truly wonderful Menchie human being who is beloved by everyone and is a good performer and a good person and all that.

And his history is interesting.

It's also at once like very, very moving about how, much like the Nova Knicks, people grew up together.

And like this like foundational Toronto production of Godspell in the 70s had like Gilda Radner and Andrea Martin and Eugene Levy and Martin Short and all these people that went on to, Victor Garber, like all of these, and Paul Schaeffer was the band leader and all these like seminal moments where people were just young people screwing around and then they all became something, Catherine O'Hara.

But the real reason I have to watch this, and I think I need you to watch this, is it is a damning indictment of how we've conducted ourselves socially as adults.

Because the backbone of this documentary is Martin Short's home movies, either in Los Angeles for he and his wife Nancy's legendary Christmas parties, or their summers in their cottage, which...

Let's be honest, it's a little more in the cottage.

Somewhere in Canada.

Where they just reliably host Tom Hanks and Rita Wilson, Kurt Russell and Goldie Hawn, Catherine O'Hara, Eugene Levy, like all these incredibly famous, funny people.

And I'm like, they were younger than we are now, just hanging, grilling burgers, jumping in lakes and laughing.

When do we get the grilling burgers, jumping in lakes and laughing part of our friendships?

Or should we have been friends with richer people?

Thank you.

I'm shook up.

I will tell you exactly.
