Maybe you could make the claim of that around like fame and money, but like around dating the wrong person or around seeing your parents more or something.

It just, it wouldn't make sense.

So I'm kind of fascinated by this question of can you...

How much can you speed run this?

How much can you leapfrog going through the, I learned the hard lessons the hard way.

Like I disregarded the lessons of previous generations, but actually I'm going to take it this time as opposed to believing you can dance through the minefield without kicking tripwire.

Yeah.

Just talking about stories about

parents and kids John on the episode that we recorded was saying he refused to tour he doesn't tour anymore because he just wants to be with his kids you know he lives on Long Island and the biggest recording artists in the world come to his house and like sit in the studio and he just loves it but he did a couple of shows two shows sold out back to back and it was at the stadium that's a

15 minute drive from where his house is.

You know, you're just totally optimized for minimum time away.

How can I play the largest show possible with the least amount of time away from my family?

You only rehearsed for like three days, all this stuff.

One of the shows, his son was backstage, and they'd set up this little playpen area for him.

And, you know, John is finally performing after a big hiatus, and he gets to bring his son, who is of an age where he can start to work out what the fuck's going on.

He must be like five, something like that maybe.

And he finishes up and he's sort of doing it for his family.

He's even done it in the manner that is most apt to facilitate his family.

So he's really tried to warp himself to make this as family-friendly as possible.

He finishes up and he gets off stage and he says to his son, he's like, what did you think?
