Okay. Shawnee, I just narrowly missed seeing JB this morning. I'm so sad. Are you guys okay? And last night, because he was working last night. He's working splits. Now, tell Tracy what a split is, Shawn. We take a banana.
Jason, a split is like when you start at noon and then you end at midnight. So you can shoot some day scenes and some night scenes all in the same 12 hours of work.
And it's kind of fun because you can avoid a full night shoot, which everybody dislikes.
Yeah, it's not good.
And at our age, doing a night shoot. Also, it's summer, so the light is... It takes a long time to get dark.
Oh, explain that to us. You have a short, you don't have a lot of night hours. So it's not ideal. Sean. Yeah, Sean. Hi.

Isn't that nice? I know, actors have it nice. I went to my niece's wedding, Laura, in Iowa. I've never been to Iowa.
Wait a second.
I've never been to Iowa. I know. By the way, there's no direct flights from Los Angeles. So you have to go Los Angeles to Chicago or Dallas to Iowa. Anyway, on the way back, everything was canceled. It took 12 hours to get home from Iowa. Why? Because you had to do some driving? Yeah, because of the weather. Then everybody changes their seats. And then we're going to go to Cleveland. And then that was delayed. Cleveland? We got a driver to drive us because there was no cars to rent when we landed to get there. And it was a four-hour drive. Wait a second.
But it was worth it. Hold on. It was worth it.
Was it real? Really?
Yes. Who is this? Who are we talking about? It's my niece.
My niece, Laura, and her new husband, Christian.
But when's the last time you saw this niece?
Last year, I think.
So once a year.
She came out to visit, right? She came out to visit in LA. No, this is a different one. I have a lot of them. Oh, Laura's never been invited.
No, Laura. She's never gotten a nod. Okay.
