He goes, these people don't let me do anything.

So we just had little moments like that where we, you know, just got to share some stuff.

But, you know, and then my schedule has been extremely busy since COVID.

But I've been working in other places, you know, Thailand, Malta.

Hungary, England, you know, just constantly working.

But because of what we learned with COVID in terms of being able to just drop in on a TV show, my studio on the farm, you can now push a few buttons and I can be live on, you know, a New York Tonight show, you know?

So I've restructured what I do with press.

You know, I do my junkets at my house, you know?

And I might have a nice shirt here, but just like today, I've got shorts on underneath.

And I walk out of a day of press, and I'm in the bush.

I've got the horses and the cows and the dogs.

Cool.

So it's changed my life, but it's meant I haven't been here.

So it's been a five-year gap to flying into New York the other day.

And it's a palpable difference in the way people regard each other and the way they talk and the fears they express.

Surprisingly, though, New York felt friendlier.

Yeah.

Interesting.

I think it might have something to do with the weed shops.

Everybody was just a little more chilled.
