What were the issues with Switch 2 pre-orders?
Like, if you thought Stars in the Bank was annoying everybody, wait until you're part of the championship celebration. Yeah, you're carrying around that belt everywhere. Oh, wait till you see what I have planned already. There's some calls I need to make to the city.
Oh, no.
You bring up PAX East. Yeah. Of course, I am the PAX East keynote. It's coming up. It's coming up real fast. I had a conversation with the one, the only Ben Starr today on the road. Thank you very much. Thank you. A round of applause for me and Ben Starr. If you are not familiar, they said, hey, Greg, do you want to come do the PAX East keynote? I said, sure. That'd be a lot of fun. I love PAX East. I was there for the first one and many of them until I got sick. The first one? I was at the first PAX East. That's how old I am. We covered it for IGN. PAX West went for a while before they did PAX East. i was like yeah that'd be great and they're like yeah you know you could do we know you can talk but we found success before with uh fireside chats where someone interviews you and i was like oh that's interesting because especially coming off chicago especially somebody who does a greg way every day i feel like i talk about myself a lot and raj you know again i think the best interview i've ever had that i wasn't i didn't do right maybe the best interview period i don't know but the most interesting someone's ever been talking to me is when you interviewed me during the ninth anniversary of kind of funny right or
Maybe it was the launch of the studio.
Yeah.

So I ran through the... Who's going to be at PAX East? Who could be great? Who knows Kind of Funny? Who knows me? And of course, the one and only Ben Starr from Final Fantasy fame, from Now Clear or Obscure, Expedition 33 fame, from... Being the Bellatro face guy. Ben's going to come interview me. So we had a call today about what do we want to do and how do we want to do. And that's why you have work to do now because, of course, we just gave it all to you.
