And now it's finally, 26 years later, coming to fruition.

So, unwantedbook.com.

I'm just really kind of, it's very intense.

Because here's the other thing.

I was at Gold's, and I had basically what was the opposite of a nervous breakdown, where all the parts of my brain slid into place, where I realized, this story I wrote in 2001, what happens if you do all these things, try to be original and go nowhere?

Like, those are my fears.

When I was starting out, what if I end up like them, have nothing to show for it?

And 25 years later, that experience has been run.

I could pay my rent as the kind of creative person.

And if they were around today, they could probably pay their rent because it's much easier as a band to kind of build an audience.

But it's a very funny story, but it's also a very dark one.

And it's largely true.

All right.

So I'm just stoked that I get to- We'll end it on a happy note.

Thanks, buddy.

Wait till you see the next one.

Impossible to breathe in this thing.

I had a whole bit with this where I was going to show up and say, if you just dress like Dilbert, you get past security and then tell people horrible things like, do you want to see my knife?

But we're going to put this aside.

Thank you so much for letting me have a chance to honor Scott.
