I hope our bosses don't care about this. Wait, can I ask maybe a bit of a question that comes at kind of an angle to what we were just talking about. But when you're talking about Bing and the elephant, whose name was? Ty. Ty. And how they play the scene and how they're sort of consistent. When you are in a scene with a human, are you also looking for consistency from the person in that scene?

I can really dedicate myself to it. My understanding was on Friday or something, you were in Japan for a baseball game or something. Well, I wasn't playing, but yeah, I was there. You weren't playing. You know, and now we're here in New York, and then tomorrow you're going to Austin to play with your band.

Yeah. And this is all related to the idea of sort of being— present and in the moment. So learning that you, Bill Murray, were just sort of gallivanting around, it fits in with this idea of you as a guy who's following his bliss wherever that leads. What are the ways in which being present and open in life are different or similar to being present and open as a performer? Is it all the same game?

I know a couple people who lost parents fairly early, and you lost your dad at 17. Right. And I think for them, it set them on a direction, you know, where they realized there's certain things they want from life. Do you think your dad's passing put you on a particular path?

People said you would come up behind them on the street, put your hands over their eyes, and then when they turn around, you tell them no one will ever believe you. And I realized in preparing for this interview that those stories don't seem to pop up anymore. And I wondered if you... Did you stop doing that sort of stuff? Did you change your behavior?
