So I feel like just the very small cog that I am in this process, I just look at what's going on and I go, what is my reaction to that? Do I feel that's hypocritical? Do I feel like that's a Good idea. Good thing. You know, and then I just try to word that as humorously as I can. And sometimes the news is sad and we still got to do a show that night.

And so we try to find our little angle that maybe we can add a little levity to it and help other people digest it, too. And so one of the biggest compliments we can get is.

But, you know, I do feel like, you know, if we can make people feel seen, you know, like, you know, we always feel like if people watch our show and they go, yes, exactly like that.
