Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Yes. Yeah.
Oh, and can I say something? For some reason, every American city I've lived in, I've been there at a crucial, catastrophic event. So I was in New York during COVID. I was in Austin, Texas when the first snowstorm happened that collapsed a grid. So we had no power and had this one-year-old child and it was freezing cold. And no help came, right? People even died in that.
And, you know, there was people that used their fireplaces. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then I also was in L.A. during the fires.
No, no, I'm the problem. It's me. But, like, L.A. during the fires, and it's like you're using this app, actually, which is telling you where all the fires are and how contained they are, et cetera, et cetera. And that's when you kind of realize that you're like... Oh, this is teetering on the edge, especially in Texas. Yes.
When it was like, oh, this is a grid that's not connected to any other grid. This is a state with no income tax, only has property taxes. So it's not like there's like voluminous income to like help people.
Yeah. And you're like, I think that's already what happened in North Carolina. This stuff is already happening. We're having these events that are showing you if America gets into like a real disaster. That's right. It's going to fall apart very quickly. And like the L.A. fires was the moment I was like, oh, there wasn't enough water.
But this guy could get a private fire service to protect his malls.
Yeah.
I want to be rich.
And I guarantee he's going to be mayor. I think he's going to run again for mayor. And people are like, oh, he needs to be our mayor. Because look, he kept his malls. He solved the problem.

Some people find it invigorating, like going on the road, talking about their work. Okay, all right.
No!
We have people here that are like, I love it.
Because sometimes there's like this, you have to embrace humility. You have to like coach yourself. Couch everything you say in. Yes. It's this, but I'm grateful.
But sometimes you'll be like, traveling sucks. I hate hotels. I don't like the food.
Yes, a literary giant.
You just have to say one name.
Like if you make a joke about traffic, people are like, well, you can get a helicopter, which I often say.
Have you told anyone that?
