And, you know, in the fullness of time, maybe.

But in the fullness of time, I'll be dead.

And and so I just think it's it's I think a pretty good example of something people aren't talking about enough that we could start chewing on.

When do you start?

Any minute now.

You have another two weeks, right?

It's another two weeks.

This week is prep because we've got a bunch of, I think, fun coverage for the week after next.

I'll be back hosting the week after next, all those shows, Monday through Friday, starting April 6th.

I did this thing, an opportunity landed in my lap.

You would have said yes, too.

A couple buddies were driving a good stretch of highway of Route 66, which turns 100 years old.

This year, it's the Mother Road, and it's full of all the kitsch and the T-shirts.

And we had some fun.

We were like, what mode of conveyance do you use to drive 66 in 2026?

So we tried like every one.

So I took Metro Rail Expo Line to Santa Monica Pier to start to get my public transit cred out there.

We took a Waymo, but you can't take it very far.

We also took a Waymo because of the three people that did this with me, two other people.

One of them is the former CEO of Waymo.
