Bob Odenkirk Returns

25:47And I think I can do that. And it actually lends itself to acting and all kinds of things. It's kind of a, uh, uh, I said to David Carr, the great journalist, once he had come to see Better Call Saul and he was watching a scene. And afterwards he said to me, I don't know how you do that. I said, I know how I do it. He goes, oh, yeah, how do you do it? I go, I have poor emotional boundaries. You're being honest, but it's funny, too. Yeah, but it's kind of true. And it is actually kind of true of not all actors, but a lot of actors who are able to can't help but slip between sort of emotional responses that are maybe a little too intense.

26:32and you could say that that's a wonderful skill that they're putting on display and it's shocking and surprising and it grabs you and it involves you and it and then of course in real life it can be very uh bad and and and not healthy and uh and really be a sign of poor health um mental health but i have to go from that to this which is in 2021 i remember where i was but i suddenly someone came in the room and they said, Bob Odenkirk had a heart attack. And I mean, I'm always hearing about people I know tangentially through this business who've fallen sick or something, but I had a real response of, I know Bob, this is really upsetting and horrifying.

27:19And initially I couldn't get a read on, are you gone? I started to hear this is really serious. And then I know your brother, Bill, who's hilarious. And Bill, love you. And shout out to Bill Odenkirk. And I got in touch with Bill and he told me, we think he's going to be okay, but it was bad. And I turned out that you were completely out. You were out. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. It's a weird thing that happened. And so one of the tributaries to the Widowmaker got completely blocked and I went out. Were you in the middle of a scene? No, we were in a break and it was during COVID shooting. So we were separate from the crew.

28:09And luckily, I didn't go to my trailer. If I'd gone to my trailer, I wouldn't be here because they don't bother you when they knock. They wait for up to an hour. Right. You know, who takes an hour to masturbate? You know, when I've had my heart attacks, it was just masturbating. It was that's that's what I was doing. Yeah. All my heart attacks happen while masturbating. But I sat, you know, where we were sitting. Ray and Patrick were right there. I've told the story too many times. It's OK. And this thing happened and I went down. I turned gray right away and did worse. what your body does when it stops going, oh, nothing matters anymore.

28:51Wow. Yeah. And I was just gone. And Ray held my head up off the cement and they started screaming, but people were far away because of COVID. So the crew later told me, you know, we thought they were laughing. We thought they're laughing very loudly at something. It took a few seconds to realize people were screaming. And luckily we were at the studio and our medical officer was there, Rosa Estrada, and she came out of her office. She'd done two tours with the army. She immediately did CPR properly, really well, broke my ribs. And the medical officer of the show, the medic, was there too, but he kind of froze up.

29:41He was very freaked out and later apologized to me. But he then also helped out and they all switched off. Essentially, they weren't able to get an AED for 15 minutes. So because CPR was done so well and because they also had that breathing mask, those two things, as well as my training for nobody, which made some of the other veins to my heart larger, sort of enlarged, like bigger than you would normally see because I did so much training. That meant that blood was able to get to my heart. You're getting oxygenated blood to your brain. And my heart. The heart starts to die right away, right? It starts to scar up and die.

30:23But because those other veins were feeding blood through my heart, the heart didn't scar up. So my heart has almost no scarring at all. That's fantastic, yeah. For 15 minutes of just people doing this. and then they had the AED and it took three hits for the AED to work, which is a lot. It's kind of super scary and that's where some of the fear and the real, well, everything about it was really scary and in fact, Tony Dalton, who played Lalo and his good friend, he was there. They were all there. Everybody gathered around and he said, I saw a guy die from a heart attack at an airport and you, same exact thing as what you, I saw it again.

31:07I'm like, well, he's dead. This guy's over. And, uh, so it was the three AED, uh, hits that also super freak people out because that AED device does a thing. It talks, it says, um, no heartbeat detected, step away from the body, 10, nine, eight, seven, down to one. And then it shoots. And then your body jumps off the ground. And then there's like some recoup moment. and then it goes, no heartbeat detected. And so they also check you. Then it's a step away from the body because you can't be near it, right? You can't be touching it or you'll get shocked. And so the fact that that had to be done three times made everyone feel that this thing was maybe not working.

31:53Yeah. And so then we were very far from the fire station. I'm going to tell this story. I've told it too many times. I apologize. Just go to the next clip. No one heard the other times. This is the first time. We're the first time. I mean, people really listen to this podcast. It took 25 minutes for the ambulance to get there. Yeah, Jesus. And then, well, they were far. And then they took me to a great hospital, Presbyterian in Albuquerque. And then at 5 a.m. in the next morning, I think they put me in a coma. You know, I think they put me in a stasis state. And then at 5 a.m. they went in through here, which you can't even see that scar anymore.

32:31They went in through your wrist? And yeah, they went in, pushed it out, cleaned it out, put in two stents. Jesus. They used just a bristle brush. That they got at the hardware store. And they don't clean it. They went to the fucking hardware store. They don't clean it between procedures. I told them, you know, it's just sitting on the shelf for months. There's dust on it. Did you wash it? Did you rinse it? Nothing. They keep it in their glove compartment. They said we were in a hurry. Yeah. I said, well, you were worried about me. No, we had other projects. They call us projects. There's a toilet that needed work.

33:07You say that you - Look, everybody was really scared for all legitimate reasons. I'm super lucky, Conan. CPR was done really well. Yeah. Three people switched off because you can't do it for, if you're doing it well, you can't do it for more than two and a half minutes, three minutes because you're exhausted. Right. So you need someone to hand it off to. So there's three people who switched off. Jesus. And then this AED device, which every studio there has now, but at the time there was none in any of the studio buildings on the whole lot. But Rosa had one in the trunk of her car that she'd been trying to return to her friend.

33:50She had borrowed it and she had tried to return it and her friend wasn't home or it wouldn't have been in her car. That's just in... And her car was parked, you know, as those lots are huge. And she had to run and go get it. So it's just so many things happened that were lucky. I have the stories that my friends told me, Ray, of course, Patrick, Vince, the degree to which I could see how shaken they were from having been there. I kept asking them, tell me the story because I had no memory at all. Nothing. It was just a blank. It was just wake up and I'm leaving the hospital a week later. That's my first memory is talking to the doctor on my exit interview.

34:29So I was there for a week. I was awake the next day at one o 'clock, but groggy. But I don't have any memory of any of the hospital at all. And and I don't have any memory of the day, the whole day that we shot. So we shot all day. One of the gifts that it gave me, this is so weird, is for the next couple of weeks, I had memory challenges and a lot. at first like i didn't know where i was i would not but not be scared at all i would wake up and be like well wow i mean honestly conan it was like if i it's like look at this world yeah this place is fucking amazing well this is serious xm in new york and it really isn't and so i mean you know you're talking about a blade of grass sunlight yeah uh you know just life butterflies but serious 6M New York.

35:21No, no. I don't care if you just came out of a death coma. It really was. And this happened when my memory came back a little, a little bit more every day. But I didn't wake up the way we know I do normally, which is whatever I went to bed, afraid of, scared about, concerned about with you right away, right there. Not to mention my own brain's natural fallback position. What should I be worried about? What should I be worried about? Literally going down the list. I think this is something I got from my mom. How is this person doing? How is that person doing? What can I do to help this person? What can I do to help somebody in my life who I'm concerned about?

36:04And just who should I be worried about right now? You know, and, and what should I be worried about? And I just didn't have any of that. The world was a wonderful place. I had people I loved around me. I had a job that I can't believe, a magically wonderful job that I get to do. And that carried with me for months, for months. Here's the question I have, because I've noticed this. I lived in New York on 9-11 and everybody was on their best behavior after 9-11 in New York City. And it was just a beautiful thing. and you'd go to a restaurant. People said, you've got to go out. You've got to keep the city going.

36:47You'd go places and the person would come over to take your order and you'd ask them how they're doing, where do they live? And then you'd make them sit down and they'd join. I mean, it was just this happening and I think it lasted five, six weeks. And then people started bickering and I just thought, oh, I see. This is what humans revert. Are you able to still access the gratitude, the feeling of I'm sucking? Yes, I am. I am. Yes, I am. I mean, I think I have to make an effort. But it definitely, especially as my memory came back, because of course, the first thing you're concerned is, well, maybe I'm not going to get it all back and then I can't act and stuff.

37:23But I, you know, I was getting it back a little at a time every day and I could sense that I'll get, I'll be okay. You know, but I've got to remember what this state is like. I've got to remember the value of this. This is, this should be a part of your day every day. Yes. You should feel this every day at some point. Somehow you should get yourself here because this is true, too. It's true that our world is filled with concern and worry and danger and things you should pay attention and be concerned about. But this also should be something you touch base with as often as you can. Yeah. I've said I realized this a bunch of years ago that humility, gratitude, These words get thrown around a lot, but it's not something you achieve.

38:09It's stomach crunches. You know, you've got to, or stretching. You got to do it every day or every other day, or it doesn't, there's no like, I feel gratitude. Check that off. You've got to just keep going back at it because human nature and also modern media is, isn't, I mean, you pick up any device, you turn on the TV and we are programmed to receive bad news all the time. So yeah, you're absolutely right. But I mean, talk about, you do have a lot to be grateful for in addition to your career. But just if you were looking at your career, I would say, I said this, I heard that people were giving blurbs for your book, your autobiography, which I really loved.

38:55And so I wrote on it. I'm hard pressed to think of anyone who's had a more fascinating, unpredictable, like a great career arc than Bob Odenkirk. And I meant it because I knew you like when you were, you know, you had one jacket. Yeah. You had that leather jacket and your glasses and you were very intense. I was really proud of myself that I could put everything I owned in one bag. Yes. Well, I remember going to your apartment. We went to your apartment once and it was super small as all of our apartments were. and just, you could like touch all the walls, you know, you didn't have to move, but you had, I can remember your brown leather jacket, you know, your jeans, your sneakers, your glasses.

39:39And I think that's everything you had. And we were hobos. And, but I look at you now and I was like, I was watching the choreographed fight scenes, which are so great in Nobody. It's fun to do. And I'm going to tell you, it's the closest to a comedy writer's room. Yes. Is doing a stunt fight and any of the stunt fights I've done. It's the most like, oh, this is what we did at 2 a.m. First of all, you train the fight, you choreograph the fight. And I did contribute to all these fights. And in fact, the bus fight, so much of that I pitched to start, which is he bangs his head. I hit my head in the first three moves.

40:24I hit my head. I miss, I have to miss somebody, punch and miss. Because you're also, your character has been out of it for a little bit. Right. Yeah. And I have to degrade as the fight goes. I have to get slower and weaker, not stronger. And I get thrown out of the bus and I go back in. Yeah. I have an opportunity to leave. I could walk away and I don't. Okay. And I'm not going to give anything away, but in Nobody 2, and I don't think I'm giving anything away because I've also seen the trailer. But for reasons that'll become clear when you see the movie, it's organic, but you end up at kind of like an amusement park kind of place.

41:06And what's fun is that that's where you are. You're with your family. And so all the fights are happening in this environment. I mean, there's a scene that you incorporate whack-a-mole into a Jean-Claude Van Damme fight scene. And so it's two things. It's really good fight choreography. it's really fun to watch it's satisfying because the biggest most important element to me of a fight scene is you really want to hate the dick who's getting beaten up yeah you and but part of that was and it's in the trailer so i don't think this is a spoiler when the guy whacks the girl in the back of the head i said can you make that just as small as like he even the guy who let's say the real guy who does that is like why did i do that that was dumb what an asshole i didn't need to do that like he didn't even think about he wasn't thinking he just walks around the back of the head like get out of here you guys yeah and it's the smallest thing even he probably thinks i shouldn't have done that that was a dick move but he also it wasn't i didn't hurt anyone nobody got hurt her hat went like but that was but you go fuck no you know because little things like that do happen in your life and you can't do anything about them you have to walk away from them I know, but what was so smart about that is it's your daughter.

42:26And I think what's really smart about that is it taps into something. If you have kids, I don't care how old your kids are, they can be little, they can be, you know, 25. If someone's mean to your kid or shoves your kid or does anything to your kid, it awakens something in you. You want to kill that person. And so you're trying to leave. It's a small thing. You're deescalating, which you use a lot. Let's deescalate. You've clearly like, I don't want to have any trouble. You're leaving, swats your daughter. And it's just this great moment because you're walking out and your wife said - And I leave.

43:01You leave as, you know, like it's your opportunity. I could leave. You could leave. And then your wife says, see, there's a look in your eye, which is, I've seen that look back at SNL when they didn't put your sketch on and you I'm going to try and let and you can see he's not going to let this go they just, it's your daughter and you go back in and clean house and it's, but using all the stuff that's in an arcade which is really fun That guy who gets it with the claw and I've got a, these stunt actors are so great Do you see how real he makes that? And the punch. If you watch how he takes that punch, first of all, there's a thing about like, he doesn't just clear off.

43:47He like goes. Yeah. He's like, like, like he's got some strength. He's not just here to take a punch. He's a guy who's like, watch this happen. Right. You know, like he, those guys are so good. Is it as much fun to do that as I think it is? It is. It is. You laugh your ass off. They say cut. Everyone laughs. and goes, I can't fucking believe that. All right, I gotta call you on something because you were on the pod. You were on the pod. Let me say one thing. You were on the pod for, now I feel like I'm in because your character, Shelley Levine, talks over people and I'm doing that to you right now, but it's because it's important.

44:21After, when nobody won, when the first Nobody came out, I had you on. I loved it. We had a great interview and I said at the end, if you ever make another one, you got to put me in it. You went, yeah, yeah. I'm not in it. Don't be needy. But I just want to be beaten. I want someone to beat the shit out of me. Well, we'll do one. Just, can you do a third? Yes. I don't even have to be me. Well, I actually did a third action movie. Just, I know, but I mean, when there's Nobody 3 comes out, I just want to be, put me in clown makeup. It won't be me and I'll be a small, but I just want someone to beat me to death.

44:53We'll make it happen. The last thing I'll say about the Nobody franchise that I appreciate is that there are many, like James Bond beats a bunch of people up in a room and then walks into the next scene looking like a million bucks. you are a real human who's just fought 10 guys and you've been hit as much as you've hit someone. You've taken as many hits as you've given and you can tell progressively as it goes through. I mean, Wile E. Coyote gets a reset after every scene. He can blow up and then he walks back in the next scene and it's a fresh Wile E. Coyote opening the Acme rocket boot box.

45:32but you you can tell like you just take a lot of punishment because you're a real person who's fighting all these people and i want to do a scene in the next movie if there is another where he goes through a metal detector and his body is all pins and then you fight all the tsa people um all right i'm gonna have to wrap this up because we have talked and talked well i this heavily edited. I just got to say one other thing. When I was training for Nobody and I trained for probably you could say three years. And I, when I would go do Better Call Saul, I would train for twice a week. But when I was in LA, I would train three times a week at the actual stunt gym.

46:14And I didn't think the movie was going to get made, but they were offering me free training with this great guy, Daniel Bernhardt, who trained me. And it was like free, you know, I learn about exercise. I didn't know shit about it. And so I'll take that, you know, and then you can call me and say, we're not making the movie. And I'll go, all right, thanks for the free gym hours. And the whole time I'm doing it, I'm thinking about you and Smigel and Sandler and everybody I knew from comedy. And if I were to get to make this movie and you were to go see it in Spade, I kept thinking about Spade. I don't know why, but he would go see it and go like, what the fuck?

47:00Yep, that's exactly. And you know what? I had that feeling of, it was such a mind blower because it was as if you heard, there's this incredibly sensual movie out. It's got really heavy sex scenes and all the women are losing their mind because the guy's so incredible. And you're like, who, you know, who is it? It's Conan O 'Brien. What? He's 62. Are his eyes still kind of creepy? And is his lips still thick? Yes. How's his skin? It's okay. Wait a minute. What? Are his legs disproportionately long to his body? Yeah, but man, the way he goes at it when he takes his shirt off, but only the difference was you completely owned it and it was great.

47:43And there's no like, ah, good for Bob when people are buying movie tickets, especially worldwide. So I just, I promise you, I thought of you guys often when I was exercising and thinking, that's just a reason to be doing this, is if I could pull it off, that would blow my friends' minds. Here's how I'll end this. You are a really, you loom large in my early career as one of the funniest people I ever got to work with. And it was really meaningful to me back then because I was sometimes doing stuff on this frequency that you really appreciated. And I felt like this guy gets it. And I felt like you were doing the same thing.

48:28And I've told you, I've memorized moves of yours from your first one man show. But Bob, I'm so happy for you. Thanks for all your... Also, weirdly, even though I'm proud of you, I know that can like sound condescending, but I'm really, I'm like, I know him and he's killing it. And just seeing you on that Broadway stage last night, watching your movies, watching your stuff. So go in peace to love and serve the Lord. Have a nice day. Have a nice week. Thank you, buddy. Bob Odenkirk. Tupac. Peace out.

49:07Sona, Sona, are you there? Yeah, I'm here. I'm here. Okay, listen, there's a reason I'm talking to you right now, okay? Oh, God. Which is, I am in New York, working hard um while you're hardly working not funny and interviewing people just interviewed bob odenkirk you know i love bob odenkirk okay well don't say it like you don't like me and take your hands away from your mouth what are you doing what you feel like your mom sit up straight okay you can see yes i didn't know you could see me okay and um hello first of all how are you sona thank you second of all second of all let's not waste time on that second of all uh i'm here in New York and I'm working hard, you know, supposed to hardly working.

49:48Funny joke. And I am talking to you because I worry that when I'm away from our home base, when I'm away from the Larchmont, California studios, that you guys are goofing around and you're not you're not towing the line. And so this is a little drop in to make sure that you're making it happen. Oh, you're still there. Do you think you keep people in line here? You think that you're like you people get stuff done here in spite of you. I mean, you come in, everyone's like working. You come in and then you just start like saying all these jokes and doing all these bits and everybody has to just stop working and and watch you.

50:33Yeah. Yeah, it must be tough when the master of his craft comes in the room and delights a crowd with his magical skills. Must be awful. Oh shit, here comes Beethoven. Fuck. Oh no, he's got his piano. What's this? A symphony that will endure for all time? Oh God. When can I get back on Etsy so I can buy that... On Etsy? by that little leather pouch. No, I'm going to say morale is high here. People just seem to be in really good spirits. Eduardo, we're hanging out. Super productive today. Since you're not here, can I sit in your chair? Sure. Okay. Wait a minute. Hold on. Okay, she can. Sure. Yeah.

51:24All right. Now we're talking. Okay. That's cool. Now, what does it feel like to be, I mean, in a sense, you know, you're now Conan O 'Brien. What's it like? I don't know. I feel a lot more anxious and needy. Your skin's breaking out. I'm suddenly filled with self-hate. I don't know what happened to my skin.

51:48I just have a hankering for potatoes. Okay. I think you went too far. This is now hate speech. But hate speech everyone's okay with. People are fine with you going after the Irish. No one cares if you go after the Irish, not even the Irish. But you guys did that. Like, why is the mascot for Notre Dame like this? Like, boo, I'll get you. And then there's Lucky Charms. I gotcha. I'll punch ya. Yeah, we're ridiculous people and we know it. Yeah. Whereas you are a proud Armenian. Yes, I am. And how are your boys doing? I want to ask about them, Mikey and Charlie. Boys are good. You know, we moved into a new place and they're adjusting.

52:27There's a park. There's a pool. They just want to do things. Yeah. So we let them do things. Are you adjusting to your new place? I am. I like it. It's cool. I, you know, I know I talked a lot about my parents and how hard it was to live with them, but, you know, they let us live with them for over four months. And all I did was complain about them. So it was very like. Well, you're. What? You're a very ungrateful person. And I say that out of love. I mean, that's one of your better qualities, but you are ungrateful. You're not gracious. and you take things for granted. There's a lot of G's going on here, you know?

53:05Are you having fun in New York? I miss the trips that I used to take. This is great. I'm really, I mean, I'm slamming you left and right. All these missiles are landing. I'm ecstatic. I will say I've been having a good time. You've been walking around with me. I have. Talk about Conan in Manhattan. Yeah, you thrive here. And people come up to you left and right. It's selfie central. It is. I think I've taken 3 ,000 selfies. But I don't, you know, as I've always said, I like talking to people. I'm cool with it. Yeah. But it gets very silly because we went and saw Bob Odenkirk's Glengarry Glen Ross last night with Bill Burr.

53:44And it was just fantastic production. Really great. And then in intermission, there's just this line formed to get selfies. And I'm standing there doing selfies for everyone. And then I thought I should start, even if I just got a dollar for each one, is that a bad thing to put out there? I feel like people would talk. I don't think it would go over well. No one had to have one of those little old time change makers on me that the ice cream man had in the 60s. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I want to do. I want to monetize it. That's the kind of spirit I'm bringing to selfies. A dollar? You think a selfie with you is only worth a dollar?

54:18I think that's optimistic. I think that's optimistic. if you could put any price on taking a selfie I think a dollar is aiming high you could do a BOGO buy one get one free yeah yeah did you say is there a term for that BOGO BOGO yeah buy one get one I love what the kids are doing you guys are amazing BOGO Etsy what's that new thing internet it's crazy what's happening YOLO Sona yeah I know about and FOMO so FOMO BOGO YOLO GOGO yeah jub jub flip flap chip chop yeah how are you Sona I'm glad to see you I do miss you you know that I miss you too when I see you in New York I really miss you know I think I had like a when I kept when we kept going to New York I started getting very like ugh New York and now I'm kind of craving it I miss it a lot you freaked out I miss going with you yeah when you were my assistant before I saw the light and got David involved but I don't know he just knows he just gets things done but anyway I had my babies.

55:20First time I took you to New York, you flipped out. You hated it. And you, because you just weren't used to New York City, you're very uncomfortable there because you're such an L.A. person. Yeah. But the one thing I remember very clearly, you needed to go somewhere. And I said, well, just take a cab. And you said, I can't take a cab. I'll be sitting on a seat that other people have sat on. And I thought, what? What? What are you talking about? What is this narrative you've weaved in your mind? I sit on so many seats. You said that. I've interacted indirectly with so many butts in my life that you think I'm - This is a clear memory I have.

55:59Don't say this didn't happen. I'm not saying - You didn't want to take a cab. It didn't happen the way you - First of all, cabs aren't gross. Like, they're gross. But I also - I take, like, lifts all the time, and I don't have a problem with that. I think that the city - So what was your beef with New York cabs? I mean, they're gross. They're, like, dirty. But at the same time, I think that you're making it seem like I'm like prissy, like, oh, I can't sit there. I mean, yeah, I guess to a certain extent there was a lot of like, I don't like cabs. But I think that I think there was like that's improved now.

56:33You're better. You're over it. You're kind of. Yeah. But I also I think that I got overwhelmed when I would go to New York. Like it was overwhelming. It's an overwhelming city. And then when you're like me and you just want to go out and do stuff and you don't know what to do and you decide to just stay in your hotel, you feel like you're missing out on everything. And it just. I think it also not only in New York, which is an overwhelming city, but you're with Conan O 'Brien, a beloved figure. And I think that was overwhelming for you as well. I mean, oh, Conan, I want to sleep with you. Oh, God.

57:08What? Remember? You think. Wait. Do I remember random people coming to you and just saying like, oh, you know, you're with me all the time. And they're like, oh, my God, I can't believe it. And, you know, I had a sex dream about you just an hour ago. And it's four o 'clock in the afternoon. You know, that kind of thing. Whatever. Never heard anyone say that. People like, I want to give you money. You're a Christ-like figure. It was more like, can we take a picture? And you'd be like, yeah, sure. And then you'd be like, do you need anything else? They're like, no, I got to go. That is so mean. Is there anything I can do for you?

57:42I could write you a check. Why don't you join me? Let's sit down and have a drink. And they're like, I just wanted a picture. Okay, now you're making me seem needy. And that's as crazy as you being someone who's a germaphobe. Okay. Sona, I checked in on you. I miss you. I know, I miss you too. Give my love to Tack and your lovely boys. Do they still like their Uncle Coco? They love Uncle Coco. They talk about you all the time. Did I ever tell you I showed them like, oh, I sent you a video. You sent them a video back, which I had to play with that for them like 150 times. And after I did it, one of them, I think it was Mikey went, Uncle Coco is kind of funny, huh?

58:19And I was like, yeah, he is kind of funny. Like, I don't, you know, in their mind, you're just like this funny guy, but they don't realize you're you've been working. I was taking a ride. I was back. I was back from my college reunion and I was in Boston and I was in a I was taking a I I think an Uber and somewhere and the driver is just driving me, not really paying attention. And I'm, I always chat with the people. So I'm chatting back and forth. And then I made kind of a joke and the guy laughed and he said, you have a sense of humor from another country. He's learning the language. You have a sense of humor.

58:58And I was like, Whoa, Still got it. All right, Sona. Be well, and I'll be checking in with you in about 20 minutes. Okay, I'm excited. I like sitting in your chair. Maybe you can sit in my chair from now on, and I'll just sit in yours. It's like first chair. Getting used to other people's chairs. I like it. Yeah. All right. Butts. Your fear. Okay, don't say butts. I'm sorry. Butts. Lots of butts sat in all these chairs, and I'm fine sitting in them. So, you know, I guess I proved you wrong. I got to go. Beethoven out. I got to get my piano out of here. Not Beethoven. You'll see. Beethoven the dog from the movies.
