Episode Transcript
[00:00:10] All right, we are back. Took a little hiatus for there. Took over, took a week off.
[00:00:14] I was traveling a bit, went to Chicago. Chicago, man, what a, what a fun, fun city I had been before, but it was, it was particularly fun this time. It was like, it was great, man. And it really had me thinking about the differences between New York and Chicago. And I love New York, I really do. But I don't know, man.
[00:00:40] It's like, the thing I really enjoyed about Chicago, and I think it's because I was with someone who, who really showed me around, was a native.
[00:00:52] It's got a feeling of, like, community. It's a big city. It's obviously smaller than New York, but it still has that same vibe. But, but there's a sense of, like I said, community that I really appreciated about was just, I don't know, it's a nice buzz, but it's also got a lot of heart, you know, like New York, and I'm, I'm a New Yorker through and through.
[00:01:13] It just, it seems to be lacking heart lately.
[00:01:17] You know, there's just something. It's become like Disneyland and.
[00:01:24] Yeah, I, I, I can't seem to, I don't know, seeing the, the juxtaposition of the two, you know, next to each other was. It's pretty crazy. And my neighborhood still has, you know, a lot of heart because it hasn't changed much. But you look at places like, you know, parts of Brooklyn, like Williamsburg, Bushwick, all that, and there's a scene, there's something happening. And Manhattan, there's always something happening. And the thing about New York is that it's forever changing, right?
[00:01:49] But there's. It's just, it's just become, like, so commercial, you know, it's like condominium after condominium and glass fucking soulless buildings.
[00:02:02] And I don't know, there was just. There was something in Chicago that really I really with. And I love, I love that there's a body of water running through it. That's, that's really cool, you know, and the thing about New York in the summertime, that in the, and Chicago in the summertime in New York, everyone's out and like, on the weekends, they're out in the Hamptons or they, they go away somewhere in Chicago, the city's still buzzing. You know, people get on their boats and go on Lake Michigan and, like, they, they have summertime stuff in the city where, as in Manhattan, it's just, it's a little quieter, which I don't mind, but I don't know, man.
[00:02:38] New York has just become.
[00:02:40] And, and maybe it's just me or maybe other New Yorkers can relate to this, but there's just. It's not the same. And that's the point of New York. It's always changing. But I don't know. I really fucked with Chicago, New York food. And I mean Chicago, any food you can get in New York, you could pretty much get in Chicago.
[00:02:58] And it's got a. It's got great stuff. I will say I think the food in New York is definitely better.
[00:03:05] I mean, especially the pizza. Like, I had Chicago pizza for the first time and I thought Chicago pizza, pizza was, was deep dish. Like that's what everyone in New York thinks, it's deep dish. And I was like, that's fucking garbage. But I had what I was told is real Chicago pizza and it's good, but it's more like flatbread. Whereas in New York it's, it's just different. And then you have Neapolitan, which is. If I'm talking about like the traditional New York slice, the pizza is still better in New York. Like, hands down, hot dogs, however hot dogs, I think they may take the cake. I love all that on the hot dog that was. That's fire.
[00:03:43] But yeah, New York, there's so many things that like. Like the other day I read an article about this, this spot called Hector's. It was a diner in meatpacking district. And I remember going out in the meatpacking district when I was a teenager and like sneaking into clubs. And this spot, Hector, Hector's was there forever. And I read an article that said after 75 years, it's closing. They're selling it to the Whitney because it's part of the. It's in the same building as the museum. And I'm like, don't get me wrong, I love museums. But I was like, what the fuck? Like, everything, like all the things that like that have been there forever are just gone.
[00:04:16] And then there's like another artisanal. Artisanal. I don't know how to say it right.
[00:04:22] Coffee shop popping up. And don't get me wrong, those liberals know how to make good fucking coffee. But it's like it's. Everything just is a carbon copy of a carbon copy, you know, And I just, I. I just, it kills me a little bit.
[00:04:36] And I was reading and, and that's the thing. Chicago, you know, they say New York is walkable. I. There was another article like that I saw of the 10 most walkable cities, New York was number 10.
[00:04:46] Chicago was seven. And I think the number one was Philly.
[00:04:49] And it, it makes sense. When I was in Chicago, we didn't take the person I was staying with. We didn't take a car ever. We either took a scooter, a bicycle, or we walked. And it was great. In New York, if you're in Manhattan and I took the train in Chicago, train's good.
[00:05:06] In Manhattan, you can get around walking easily. And the trains obviously in New York are, are the most garbage, but the most convenient. They take you everywhere.
[00:05:15] But when you look at Manhattan, the five boroughs, they're not walkable. You can't walk from Queens to Manhattan. You know, there's not. If you're like, the subsects are walkable, but like, I live in Sheepshead Bay in Brooklyn and you can't walk from Williamsburg, Brooklyn to Sheepshead Bay. It's not possible.
[00:05:31] So, like, it made sense when I was like, oh, wow. It really isn't as walkable as you think unless you are on the island of Manhattan.
[00:05:39] So, yeah, dude, it was, it's like a, it's, it's a fun, fun time. It's got a lot of history, a lot of beautiful architecture. And like I said, I was being shown it from a different perspective because anytime I've gone there, I, I went, you know, with other New Yorkers and, and we got around, but this was a different experience.
[00:05:59] But I had a lot of fun there. I had a lot of fun and I met the people there. Very nice. Like the Midwestern people are just, they're so much nicer than New Yorkers. And New Yorkers get a bad rep because they're actually. New Yorkers are nice people if you, you know, you break past the barrier.
[00:06:16] But yeah, it was, it was a good time. I don't, I don't want to get too deep into the weekend, but it was, I had, I had a lot of fun. I had a lot of fun, you know, and.
[00:06:31] Yeah, and I came back home and I had some happen to me before I left.
[00:06:37] I hope this is not coming off like a journal, but I, this is, I'm just going with it.
[00:06:41] We had to put our family dog down.
[00:06:46] 10 and a half year old bulldog. Her name is Allie. She was such a sweetheart. And a couple days before I was leaving, she couldn't walk at all. And we had to take her to the vet and we didn't think we were gonna be putting her down that day, honestly. And we took her and she got worked up getting to the vet and Then we thought she was gonna be all right, but we realized she's probably not gonna be walking again. And to have a dog, a fucking 60 pound English bulldog, not being able to walk is a. It's a nightmare. And she got all worked up and she got up, and with bulldogs, once you get them worked up at that age, they can go into a total fit. And that's what started to happen. She was just.
[00:07:26] She was just starting to freak out and we had to put her down. But the. The interesting thing is when I came back from Chicago, I had a dream the first night that I was home.
[00:07:40] Wild dream that my dad had said to me in the dream. He's like, I killed somebody and you need to. You need to take care of the body and get rid of it. And I was like, what the are you talking about? What are you talking about? He's like, you need to get rid of the body. Go get rid of it now. And I was like, I watch, I feel like I should call the cops or something. I don't know. And. And I was freaking out, and I ended up, you know, chopping up a body. And it was someone I knew, this guy that has no connection to my family, but. But I knew him. I'm not gonna say his name, but.
[00:08:10] And it was the most real thing ever.
[00:08:16] Ever. And I woke up in a panic, dude. Like, I almost woke up crying. Like, I. Like I was an accomplice to murder.
[00:08:24] And I. I was trying to put two and two together. And I realized, I.
[00:08:31] I realized that it was. It was. Had to do with, I'm pretty sure putting the dog down.
[00:08:35] Because, you know, when you're a kid, right, you know, your parents are supposed to make decisions for you. And I grew up in a household where I was playing parent a lot more than I should have. And I've gotten past that and moved on. I'm an adult. And so you get over it.
[00:08:52] But this is the first time, you know, when we were in the vet's office and the dog was all fucked up, my dad and my mom were hysterical. And I've seen my dad cry, but this was just something else.
[00:09:01] And I had to. My dad looked at me and he goes, what? What do we do? Like, he basically was asking me to make the call, and I had to make a decision that I. 31 years old, I never made a decision like that before.
[00:09:16] And I. You know, I still feel like a kid. I'm sure most people can relate to that, you know, Like, I still feel like I'm 16 years old sometimes.
[00:09:24] And he. He asked me to make the call. And he was like, what do you think we should do? He's like. And I was like, I think we need to put her down. I think it's the right thing to. Not buying months here. We're not buying years. We're buying days and weeks. We're going to be back here.
[00:09:37] And I was leaving Chicago a couple days after that, and then I.
[00:09:43] After we were all in agreement, I made the call. I'd. I signed the papers, and I went in the room with her. My dad was there, too.
[00:09:53] And the fucking most fucked up part was there was a jar of chocolates in the room. And I thought. I was like, oh, that must be for people, because dogs can't eat chocolate.
[00:10:01] And above the jar of chocolate, there was a.
[00:10:06] There was a sign that said, every dog should taste a. Should know what chocolate tastes like before they cross the rainbow Bridge. And I was like, oh, my fucking God, that's horrifying. It's like, you know, because obviously they're not gonna. We're about to get put down. They could. They could have the chocolate.
[00:10:25] And, yeah, we stayed in the room. And I'm usually the person in my family, and especially that day, I'm very.
[00:10:33] I just keep it together. I was always. You know, everyone plays their role in a family.
[00:10:38] You know, some people freak out, some people panic. Some people, you know, keep it together. And I'm. I'm the person that's always kind of kept it together. And. And, you know, when you watch that happen and you watch the life leave somebody, especially when I'm the one that's playing God here, sort of. I don't know how else to put it.
[00:11:01] It's. If you don't. If you don't fall apart, then you're a sociopath. Like, it's just. It's that simple. Like, you can't not.
[00:11:10] And to bring it back around is like. And, you know, I had a couple days where I was just breaking down, like, just falling apart. And then you question, like, did you do the right thing? And I'm usually pretty good at going, no, that was the right move, especially with something that. That you can't change.
[00:11:25] But my mom kept asking, did we do the right thing? Do we do the right thing? And I was like. Like, you can't even ask that question. But the thought does pop in your head, and you have to talk it out real quick.
[00:11:35] And I was. I was leaving in Chicago a couple days after that, and, man, it was. It Was I. I dealt with it for a few days, and I thought I was all right. And then, you know, and I was having fun when I was out there. I was up probably more than I should have been, but it was still a great time.
[00:11:53] And I came home and had that dream, and I was like, oh, it's still. You know, it's still there. Big time. Big time.
[00:12:04] It sucks losing a pet, man. It really sucks, you know, and it's such an interesting thing. Maybe that's the whole. The point of this podcast is having good times and bad times and how you could be the happiest you've ever been, but still have some of the worst things that ever happen to you.
[00:12:19] You know, like, you know, you talk about. I wrote this on my Instagram. It's like, oh, you think that the Monday that you have to wake up after being hungover and work a job that you hate is the worst day ever? And it's like, no, no. The worst days are the ones that you never, ever see coming.
[00:12:34] It's on a sunny Sunday afternoon when you're driving to your dog to the vet, and you don't realize you're not going to take her home.
[00:12:42] But, yeah, and then I went. I went away. And I'll tell you, being away and in Chicago, it was pretty therapeutic because the person I was staying with had a dog. Has a dog this cute little fucking.
[00:12:54] Just the cutest little thing you ever seen.
[00:12:57] And I spent.
[00:13:00] I spent a few days, you know, sleeping there, and the dog was. The dog really took a. Like, I met the dog once before, but, like, I never spent, like, more than a day with the dog. The dog really took a liking to me, and I was just.
[00:13:12] I was just fucking squeezing this thing the entire time, and I was, you know, sleeping in the bed with this dog. And it was so nice. It was so, so nice.
[00:13:23] And I think maybe like, in my head, it was. It was like, almost kind of therapeutic where I was able to, you know, after losing a pet, to have to. To be able to connect with another one was just. Was. It was the best thing ever.
[00:13:38] And, you know, when I came home from Chicago, I came home maybe like, was it like two, three days ago now, laying in bed alone without the dog? And obviously, I mean, I sleep alone all the time, and it's nice, but sleeping with a person is great. You know, you have someone next to you that you can hold, and that's really, really beautiful. And when I came home, I missed that, but I also missed the dog being there in the morning the dog would, like, he would, he would, you know, step on my. Like, at six o' clock in the morning, he would just walk on top of me like a ca. And just, like, rest himself on there. Like, hey, hey, like you, it's time to pet me. And I loved it, man. And when I came home and I didn't have that, I had a harder time falling asleep. I really did.
[00:14:20] It's, it's pets, man. They're, they're, they're, they're better than some family members. I have family members that are complete garbage. Like, people that I, I'm upset that I even share blood with.
[00:14:32] And, and, you know, and then there you have pets who. They're the only thing in the world that will love you unconditionally no matter what.
[00:14:44] No matter how bad of a person you think you are, they are going to think that you are it. And it's so, so important to just really appreciate it because it's so easy to yell at a dog or, you know, when you're in a rush and they're taking their time. It's so easy to forget that one day this thing's not going to be here.
[00:15:01] And you sign up for a tremendous amount of heartbreak with a dog. Like, when you're born, you. You don't have a choice of being born. You don't choose your parents. You don't choose your brother or sister. And I'm not trying to be like, oh, I didn't choose to be born. No, not that. I'm just saying when you're born, this is who you got, you know, and you know you're going to lose them, but you have a lot more time and it's kind of there. It's different with a pet. You go to a place when you're an adult and you choose someone, you choose one of the pets there and you're like, all right, in 10 to 15 years, this thing is gonna break my heart because I'm gonna have to. I'm gonna lose it. I'm signing up for heartbreak. You're not signing up for your family dying or anything like that, because it's there already. This is a conscious choice that you make.
[00:15:43] And you know that the heartbreak is going to be tremendous, but the joy is, is it tops it. It's so worth it.
[00:15:54] And it's just, It's a different kind of love. It really, really is.
[00:16:00] And yeah, I, I live alone, so I don't, I don't have any pets. This is like my dad's dog. Really?
[00:16:06] But I love that thing so much. Man. She was such a sweetheart. Little hippopotamus, you know?
[00:16:15] But, yeah, it was. It was.
[00:16:19] It's. It's an interesting thing to. To have some of the saddest moments of your life in the midst. And I just said it before, but in the midst of having some of the most happy moments of your life, like, I have. I've had moments recently that I've just been like, holy. I. I am just so.
[00:16:35] Just so happy right now.
[00:16:37] And.
[00:16:39] And to have such a tremendous heartbreak in the midst of that, you kind of.
[00:16:44] I don't know if it's guilt, and I'm hoping other people can relate to everything I'm saying right now, but I don't know if it's guilt or if it's what it is, but you sit there and you're like, I don't want to be so happy right now because of what just happened, but I can't help it. And I was having. The day after the dog died, I was having these moments of extreme highs and extreme lows and some guilt because of it, you know? But that's. I guess that's the part of life that you have to.
[00:17:11] You gotta have the. You can't have the sweet without the sour.
[00:17:16] And.
[00:17:17] Yeah, I've just been kind of just like. I haven't. I was. I did a podcast, like, two days after the dog passed, and I started it, and I was not prepared to talk yet. I was just not in the right place.
[00:17:28] But now I'm feeling ready to speak about it, you know, And I came home from Chicago, and I hadn't gotten on stage for a little bit, so I was. I was coming off a high, but I still had, obviously, in my subconscious. That's the interesting thing about dreams.
[00:17:46] The things that are in the back of your head, you have no idea there. They pop up when you're.
[00:17:51] You know, when you're sleeping.
[00:17:54] But I came home and I started to get very personal on stage, talking about things that happened to me in the past that I hadn't. I hate people know, but I hadn't spoken about it.
[00:18:08] And.
[00:18:09] And this podcast, I mean, this has been the most personal place for me. Like, stage is personal, but it's also supposed to be funny. Whereas this. I don't have to try to be funny. I'm just trying to relate. I'm trying to connect with, you know, the void.
[00:18:23] But, you know, there's.
[00:18:28] There's a thing about getting personal on stage. I think it's. It's Essential. It's the best. It is the, and I've spoken about this before, but it is, I see people connect the most when you're personal. Right, but, and as open as I am and as much as I talk about everything, I love my privacy. I do. I spend a lot of time alone and, and recently I've, I, the last couple months I've just been doing topical stuff, a lot of topical information and topical jokes.
[00:19:02] And I started out like back in September, I was really getting personal, like really, really getting personal.
[00:19:10] And, and then I kind of just went in a different direction, but I noticed that that was the, that people love to hear.
[00:19:18] And now I'm starting to get, trying to get personal again.
[00:19:21] And you know, is it like, how, how big of an impact am I? And I'm not trying to fucking sound self righteous stuff like I'm making an impact. No, I'm, I, I know how fucking small I am in the midst of the universe. I'm aware that I am just a fucking, just a piece of, you know, just toilet paper, like a little speck of toilet paper on the fucking ass of life, you know, but that doesn't mean I'm not trying to connect with at least one person.
[00:19:52] And I'm now having a bit of a struggle of as open as I am as most people see, they're like, oh, this guy's got no line.
[00:20:00] I, I, what do I want more? Do I want to help, you know, try to connect and allow my privacy to sort of be shattered with a certain thing that I'm, I've started talking about again, which has been, I'm not traumatized at all, but it's still something that I'm like, how do I even make this funny? I haven't, you know, I got to sit and think about the situation and it's like the more open I am, the bigger the impact I can make with other people and make them feel better and make them feel like less alone. What would I, am I willing to sacrifice the little private things that, that are mine in order to connect?
[00:20:42] And you know, I even, I even started talking about the dog passing and I'm like, I'm trying to just, you have moments where you go, ah, is that really funny? Because it's my story, but it's like, no, people will, will connect and you'll find a way to make it funny. And especially through the podcast. I think since, like I said, you don't have to be funny. It's, it's a really good way to, to get to people.
[00:21:05] And, you know, Robin Williams was like. Talks about like, you know, he was always like. Like, I know how bad it feels to hurt.
[00:21:12] That's why I try to make people feel good. And then I think that's.
[00:21:18] That's the.
[00:21:19] I'm trying to do something like that. I'm not trying to fucking save the world, but it's nice to feel that way, you know?
[00:21:29] And, you know, I have a lot of pain. A lot of pain. Everyone does.
[00:21:34] And I think it's. It's so important, like, through this or through whatever you're trying to do, whether it's painting or whatever, you know, it's. It's so hard to see the light through a tough experience.
[00:21:48] And I try to do. I always have. I'm like, yo, you got to laugh through it. You got to laugh through it. You gotta. You gotta make it light and easy and fun. It's the only way to really get over something.
[00:21:57] And I guess I didn't realize that, like, through just sticking with topical stuff and just saying outrageous shit to say it, I was kind of avoiding opening myself up. I was saying things that other people were scared to say, which I. I think is cool.
[00:22:13] But there was also, I'm thinking some sort of, like, defense there of, like, not talking about me as much.
[00:22:23] And I only figured that out, like, just very recently. And I think going to Chicago and spending time with someone that I really care about and connecting with them and, I mean, this person has inspired me a tremendous amount.
[00:22:38] But being in the same space as them, I was like, oh, you know, maybe, you know. And they were a great help throughout with. With the dog passing and whatnot. There's something I think, that kind of triggered in my head of like, okay, I gotta open up. Like, I open up with them, but, like, I gotta get open on stage again and just. And just put my sword of my heart on the line and go, look, this is. This is here. Meet me halfway.
[00:23:01] You know, I don't even know if this is making sense right now, but. And I hope this is.
[00:23:06] Fuck it, whatever. It's just coming out, so fuck it, whatever. If you don't like it, eat a dick.
[00:23:11] But, you know, it's. It's a scary thing. And I'm pretty fearless. I. I'm not trying to suck my dick here, but I'm pretty fearless on stage. I really am.
[00:23:23] And it's. It's.
[00:23:25] I know that the people can't hurt me. At least I've grown out of that.
[00:23:31] But I think when you're spending Time with someone, one on one, knowing I'm allowing myself for you to hurt me, it makes you more aware of the things you're doing outside, also with your work, creativity and so on, that you go, all right, like, if I'm gonna allow this person to. If I can open up to this person who can hurt me directly, I can get back to being as personal as I can and connecting with people, with strangers, you know, And I think spending so much time alone, you lose sight of that. You forget that. But then when your heart opens up to something or someone, that makes you feel a lot.
[00:24:03] It's.
[00:24:04] It allows you to be more open with the things outside of that. Because there's nothing, nothing scarier than, than allowing yourself to be, to be vulnerable with a person.
[00:24:18] It really is. And I hadn't done it in so long, so it's, it's, it's pretty cool. And it's been a fun, fun little learning experience, you know, And I was talking to someone today, actually, we were talking about deep conversations. And it's like, you know, when you, when you ask somebody, how are you?
[00:24:38] Their. Their first response is, it's immediately. And he. The person I was talking to heard this on a podcast. So I'm not, like, this is not really an original thing, but I thought it was interesting to talk about.
[00:24:49] When you ask someone, how are you? There's usually a pause. There's not usually a pause. Sorry. There's usually just a. I'm all right. There's no, there's no breath. There's nothing. But if someone, if, like, if I ask, how are you? And they go, I'm all right. You kind of just, okay, go. And you think you're going to respond with, all right, because you're like, ah, this person's just asking to be polite.
[00:25:08] Whereas if I were to ask you, how are you? And you went, you took a breath and you thought about it for a second and you go, I'm alright.
[00:25:18] You would. If you. Unless you have Asperger's, you'd go, hey, what's up, man? Like, how's everything? Like, what. What's really going on? And. And no one really stops and thinks or does that anymore. And there's just no. This generation has become so shallow. And it's why I do this, it's why I do comedy.
[00:25:38] It's become. There's no one's having deep conversations anymore. Nobody.
[00:25:43] Nobody.
[00:25:44] And I'm fortunate enough to be doing this. But the other thing is, is that we're recording this, so it's a different. It's still different.
[00:25:52] And I don't have. I try when I'm with friends to have deep conversation and get there and I'm like, try to open myself up to it and go, all right, like, talk to me and be a really good listener. But it's, it's hard. Not many people want to do it. And that's why, you know, I've. I've met somebody that's.
[00:26:10] It's cool to have that. It's so cool to have that with someone who's willing to go, yeah, let's have that wide open cut deep conversation. Because it's, it's not happening. It's just not happening anymore. It's why everyone's talking to chat GBT all the time. It's why everyone's having conversations with this computer because they're, they're either too desensitized or whatever to do it with another person. Maybe they're concerned they're going to say so too much or whatever. And it's good. I think that the converse, the deep conversation should be happening with someone you trust. Right?
[00:26:46] So I just thought it was really interesting that, that it's like, it's true. No one is.
[00:26:52] Maybe some people are, but it's very rare and I'm very fortunate to, to have come to cross paths with someone who, who is able to do that. And I do it. Like I said, I have a couple people that are able to, to meet me there. I'm just.
[00:27:08] It's the thing that makes us most human, you know, I don't know how people can talk to the Internet all day and open up through a keyboard. You know, maybe they're afraid of judgment or whatever. I don't know.
[00:27:21] But it's, it's interesting. You know, I texted a friend today, hadn't seen him in a while and he, he's off Instagram now and I hadn't heard from him and I was like, hey. I text him, I'm like. And he had reached out to me a bunch when I was going through a really rough time. And I was like, hey man, are you okay?
[00:27:42] And he got back to me and he goes, yeah, man, I'm just really going through it. Haven't hung myself yet. Lol. Which, you know, it's fine. I made jokes. I'm like, if you're gonna do it, make sure you jerk off first, you know, and then leave a real mess. Haha. Whatever. But I was like, hey, dude, I'm here.
[00:27:55] Like, I am here. You don't got to hide away. I mean, if. Even if you do, I'm here, you can call me. And he goes, I really appreciate that. I just don't want to bug anyone. I'm like, no, you're not fucking bugging anybody.
[00:28:05] You know, it's important to let people know that you are there, especially if you. If they're kind of just ghosted a little bit.
[00:28:14] And, you know, that's kind of.
[00:28:21] That's kind of where I'm at.
[00:28:24] And, yeah, I would get further on my trip, and I'm gonna be doing a couple podcasts this weekend, so I don't want to. This stuff I'm. I'll probably chat about on there, but it's really nice to have to. Just to have people around, you know, especially. And to tie it back into a nice bow.
[00:28:43] It's really nice just to have people have pets, you know, have loved ones, because you don't know when they're going to be gone.
[00:28:53] You really don't. Whether it's through death or whether they just want to walk away.
[00:28:56] And you have to. If that is the case and someone just doesn't want to talk to you anymore, you have to allow it to happen. It's. It's unfortunate. I mean, you could fight in certain ways. I don't believe in, like, going, no, please, please. I'm more of a. Like, hey, here are my feelings. I love you very much.
[00:29:13] I hope you don't. But if you do, then that's what you need to do. That's the path you need.
[00:29:18] And unfortunately, with death, it's a lot more permanent.
[00:29:21] But you have to appreciate every moment that you have with your pets, with. With people and the fun times you have in life. And it's okay to be.
[00:29:31] To be happy in sad moments.
[00:29:34] It's okay, I think.
[00:29:38] And that was a lot. Chicago, New York, the Rainbow Bridge, loved ones checking in, I think. Yeah, I think that's where I'm gonna leave it.
[00:29:50] All right, until next time. Thanks for listening, guys. Bye.
