Because you're lacking that soul, the passion, the things that we as kids dream about, the things that really wake us up in the morning. And I don't mean wake us up in the morning with an alarm. I mean the stuff that jumps us out of bed, yeah, without any fear attached.

Yeah, exactly. And I think that's the stuff that for me, I've been on both paths. I've been on the path where I've chased money and got what I dreamed of.

and realized it did fucking nothing for me and i was miserable and i was sad so i am always conscious of juggling in life enough that i can still live the life that i want and have the success but i'm not going too far down that path where i forget what actually makes me feel good and what actually makes me feel alive and i think to you know reason we're here today when i walked into the the toy drive i was blown away because

And I'm like, because I am a self-obsessed prick if I am not treating that. And by treating that, I mean, it's the most simplest thing. It's not not therapy. Therapy is good. It's not I'm not saying it's not, but it's not therapy. It's not.

Anything like that, it's just doing something for someone else without wanting anything in return. That is it. That cures my overthinking. It stops the self-obsessed mind. It stops the fear of, am I good enough? Is my business good enough?

slaps you around the head and and i'm like where did all that you know all those life courses and therapy and everything and all those books i read and now i'm suddenly a 13 year old again spinning about the most stupid you know so um understanding that it's always still a work in progress speaking of the toy drive we have to go back out there but one final thought so we're going into 2025 there's

I just finished one in Budapest, a comedy that I produced that we're really excited about. Parrish Jackson, Rory Culkin, Crispin Glover, amazing cast. Mark Boone Jr., Will Peltz. I'm excited about that. And then next year have two more movies start in January and February that I won't say because we haven't announced them yet. I don't know the timing of this thing, but it's exciting.
