I will say I did that many podcasts, and it's probably indicative of...

Of my inability to tell people no sometimes, which is one of the first things that I had to decide to lock in on and start doing more of going into this year.

So that's probably where you saw like a clear cut drop off on pod episodes with my name and I'm probably...

end of October, early November.

There were a couple of stragglers that were put out then, but I stopped recording, stopped meeting with people.

And then I also got blessed.

I got booked for, they're doing a TV series of the Barbershop franchise for Amazon.

They're doing a sitcom.

And so I get cast in a sitcom.

I'm wearing a beard now.

When have any of you ever seen me with a beard?

Because I had to play older like they want.

I'm not quite Seth the Entertainer old, but my character represents... Not to s*** on Seth.

You know what I mean.

But my character represents the wisdom and kind of the old sage oracle of the shop.

And I just figured facial hair would help to convey that.

And you wouldn't necessarily presume me to have a hot political take like I do with the goatee.

But I got cast in the sitcom.

And the blessing of it was that it shot in Chicago.

So I literally was unavailable for two and a half months.
