Good to have you back.

Because we have Astaire on today.

And, geez, we're excited.

We're excited.

It's good to see you again, Astaire.

No need to say violently.

You can just say ill.

That's very hard to get over, very hard.

For the several people out there who don't know who Esther Perel is, what are you doing?

But also, this is huge.

So is a human and an AI having a relationship?

So are you on the podcast talking to the AI?

Wow.

And what was Astrid's answer?

Very good tease.

That's a great tease.

Because, I mean, we've got so many things we want to talk about, but just while we're on this, because this is something that a lot of people are thinking about at the moment, because I heard that interview on the New York Times, the opinion interview, and the thing that I thought about, because you mentioned in that that, you know, there's no risk of being rejected or even being, there's no breakup, you know, when you're in that relationship.

And as someone myself, as someone who grew up in a household where there was really no conflict, there was not really a lot of friction.
