You know, just the idea for me also of these people are like coming into work and doing their thing and having their banter and kind of, you know, it's very like kind of, you know, like an office comedy kind of vibe. But they don't know who they are. They don't know why they're there. and they don't know what they're doing. To me, that's like the life analogy. Yeah.

Like, you know, that's where we're all here, you know? And we get settled in and we figure out how to get through and do it, but, like, we don't ultimately know what it's all about. So I thought that was what was always resonating for me.

And that's just always going to be.

Yeah. Oh, that's nice. Well, she's amazing. I mean... Yeah, you know, I think we're all going through life and trying... I feel like a kinship, seriously, Conan, because I know how hard you work and how much it means to you, but you're also trying to figure out the work-life balance, which is part of the show, too. And... That's, that's important too.
