Okay. So, and yeah, I'm over the moon right now. And then I'll be going to the inauguration to see all my friends. and celebrate the big Trump victory and tape an episode there.

Ah, yes, I know about this. I got off the ski lift and I saw this after I had posted like, oh, my life is amazing. And I was like, oh, my God.

Yes, I put $500 behind it to boost it to try to get my ratings up. No, I actually literally deleted it because I posted it. And I never do that.

And I am so happy to have here on All In Idol, the one, the only, my good friend, Cyan Bannister. No, our good friend. She's my good friend before you guys met her. So I'm sure she's ours, but I've been friends with her longer. So my good friend, Cyan Baxter, our good friend and our bestie. Let's just leave it at that. It doesn't have to be a competition for who Cyan likes best.

But she's a technologist, self-made individual, who then decided she would start writing small angel checks about 14 years ago. Literally the same year I did. And myself, Cyan, of all... She's done profoundly better than you. She's done incredible, yes, of course. We'll get into it.

And Cyan and I would, 14 years ago, I guess, we would meet startup companies together and host little events where we get together and take pitches. And we invested in a couple of companies together, and it worked out very nicely for everyone involved. Yeah.
