Yeah, we've been trying to make this happen for a while.

You know, this is the life of a trial lawyer is I have a lot of, I have an ex-wife and a lot of ex-girlfriends that will tell you that scheduling anything with me is really difficult because there's always some millionaire or billionaire that has an emergency really perceived.

And I feel like I have my first loyalty to them always.

So things always get canceled.

But our persistence at this, I hope, is rewarded by this conversation.

Well, it goes in both directions.

I really enjoy your work.

I enjoy your show.

I've enjoyed your book.

I actually enjoy some of the recipes.

And yeah, no, I really was looking forward to this and I'm looking forward to it.

So I'm glad we finally did it.

Yeah, I mean, one of the most...

Sort of beautiful and humbling things for me about what I see in my work is that, you know, early in my career, I represented, you know, like the cop and the teacher, you know, the W-2 wage earner, you know, a couple of kids, they have a house, they got some debt.

And now I represent, you know, billionaires and athletes and celebrities.

And some of the people I represent are like the highest performing, most talented people in the world.

And they're just as bad at relationships as anybody else.

Like they're brilliant, a brilliant surgeon, a brilliant mathematician, quant person, you know, a CEO or C-suite executive of a Fortune 50 company.

and they're just not good at staying connected right like staying in a happy relationship having the sort of presence that enables them to do that and it's it really isn't something we get any kind of an education in like we watch our parents maybe we watch the people around us we consume a lot of media you know we watch a lot of like

romantic comedies and depictions of what love's supposed to look like.
