Yeah.

But now that I think about it, I have this one close friend with three kids who I used to see a lot when they were little, and now they're grown and they have kids of their own.

But in that family, I am known as the governor.

That's right.

Just be aware of it.

I want to start.

I love being here.

I really do.

I was really looking forward to seeing you guys.

You're right.

I mean, I look forward to them all, but I'm also scared of everyone.

For Freak Radio, I interview could be between zero and eight people a week tapings, and they could run from one to two hours.

But it could be an academic who's been writing on a topic for 30 years, and I've read one paper.

And I have researchers, we have producers on the show who are great.

They work incredibly hard.

And they create for me for every single guest, I'll have a prep of like 10 to 20 pages with all kinds of

excerpts, citations, etc.

So we all do a lot of work beforehand.

But if it's someone that I don't know, I have reason to think that they may be anxious, nervous.

Well, the reason I'm particularly palpitating right now thinking about this, and I've even forgotten the original question, is that I'm starting a TV show.
