See you on the road, my dears.
How's it, everyone?
My name is Craig Ferguson.
Welcome to the Joy podcast.
Today's episode of The Joy Podcast is coming to you from a quiet time.
What is is this?
If you're a regular listener or viewer to this podcast, you will know that sometimes when I'm working very hard, which I am at the moment,
I don't have time to have a guest or it's an opportune moment to have a guest.
and so what I do instead is I do tweets and emails
like the old late night show
the tweets and the emails they come in it
and they're going to be a laugh
the tweets and the emails to come in it
something something giraffed
anyway look the situation at the moment is this
I am working very hard
and I'm traveling a lot
so the last episode of the podcast
was I was talking
to my friend Tim, Tim Sullivan, previous episode,
click on it if you like.
And that was very nice, and he's a lovely guest.
But now I'm in New York,
and that's not a long time ago.
I was doing that podcast.
I'm in New York now, and I'm going back to London
and today, tomorrow.
Anyway, so this is jet lag.
This is a jet lag edition of the,
the Joy podcast where you are the guest.
Welcome to my world of Jetlag
with the strange business of
waking up at odd times, falling asleep at odd times
and the strange constipation
that seems to come with Jetlag
maybe that's just me.
But I know that, you know, I'm a fairly regular fella.
I don't want to get graphic with you,
but I'm a fairly regular guy.
I got up in the morning, take care of business.
but I
um
I am
Jet lag slows things
that
apparently in the military
I have a friend
who's a helicopter pilot
in British Army
and
there he was
he's retired
but he said
in the military
what they used to do
was
they would account for
they would say
getting over jail lag
is about
a day for every hour
time zone
that you pass
you know
I don't know
that they gave them in
for it
or I don't know
if you can even
take anything for it anyway it's a quality problem i suppose and oh we've got such terrible jet lag
because i've been traveling or a jet because i'm an international genit setter um anyway that's what
apparently in the military their idea of jet lag is it takes about a week for a seven-hour flight
to get rid of all the jet lag whether i know what that matters and also for pilots i guess it's
got to be a thing hey right in pilots let me know if you're a through an airline pilot you'd
cover a lot of time zones right in and
let me know how you battle the jet lag or if you even care about it
or if you think it's just like not a real thing like ghosts or Narnia
or other things that aren't real.
Careful.
All right.
So here are the tweets and emails that'll be coming.
There's a lot coming in.
I think, is it my secret opinion, by the way.
I think you guys prefer it when it's just you and me talking.
I don't know if you guys like when we have other.
or people around for dinner.
I think you like it.
It's like, just us talking.
You ask me questions.
I'll, you know, I'll fill you in as best I can.
I'm sorry for, I'm wearing my cozy thing because it's, I'm looking at myself.
It's just a terrible thing to be there.
I wear a cozy thing because I'm trying to get sleep.
I can't sleep.
So I'm doing an episode of the podcast.
And this is me, send you to sleep.
Me, send me to sleep.
I don't know.
Anyway, I want to.
what I'm saying is I think you guys prefer
but it's just us because it seems
like more people
watch and listen to the podcast where it's just
me and you talk. So
I don't know. Who am I to judge?
All right. This is from
Gail Gilroy. Doesn't say where she's from?
So I'll throw the tweet away, obviously.
Gail says, what are your thoughts
on revenge? It's
pretty benign. 4X
only involves a strongly word letter.
Is it better to tell
the other cheek or is it really realistic?
Well, I don't know, that's a good question.
Revenge, you know, I think revenge is probably a bit like Cheetos, you know, delicious,
but probably not that good for you.
That's my feeling about revenge and Cheetos.
I also, I want to say this, though, a strongly worded letter to your X.
It doesn't sound like revenge to me.
It sounds like, I'm going to say a thing.
and whilst I understand the impulse of that
this is look however you do it is up to you
but what I do is most of the time
when I this is from years of experience
because I am now
63 years old I mean
it's unbelievable to me I mean if you said to anyone
when I was young
whatever you'll be like at 63 they'd be like
anyway I'm 63 years old
not that they would they would die
if you asked them that what the implication was there
that people would have probably thought
63 years in the number that they saw
me get into. But, you know, I
have to say this, when I was 29,
I, you know, straightened
out, sobered up, fly right,
a little more anyway.
So, anyway,
here I am 63, and here's what I have learned.
One of the things I have learned through
multiple
times when I probably
should have done this,
I feel like
shutting up is nearly always
saying this from a guy
who really makes his living by
talk and shutting up is nearly always the best
thing to do. I really believe that
which is I know a real irony because
all I do is talk all the time
but trust me if I could make a living
doing anything else if I was like
if I could make a living like being a carpenter
or you know I'd be a quiet carpenter
or if I could make a living being a plumber
you'd have to get word out of me I mean
if I could make 11
you know
driving a big truck
but I think I'd be crap of all these things
and
I mean I like to do
I just don't think I'd make 11 to it
and so
here's what I do
I talk for 11 but nearly
the irony being though I do believe
that nearly always
the best thing in the situation
to do is to shut up
particularly if emotions are involved
so whenever I have
I have this rule
I don't know if you guys can relate to this
I never send an email
if it's dark
is that weird
is that an OCD thing
I'll tell you why I don't
because oftentimes I'm like
especially if I'm angry
which I know obviously
as someone who works in show business
I never get angry
but if I did get angry
like normal people sometimes do
oh it must be awful for them
if I get angry
I will write
a strongly worded email
like Gail was talking about
sometimes. And then I won't send it
till the morning. And every single
time, every single
time I've looked at that email in the morning,
and I went, you know what?
Fuck that. I'll just let it go.
Or even if I don't let it go,
I come at it from a slightly
different perspective. So all I'm saying is
Gail, do you really
need to send that? You really need to say it. And if you
do really need to say it, just say it.
because do you need it written down
to be brought up later in court?
That's all I'm saying.
All right, so I hope that helps, Gail.
This is from Eden.
Eden says, I don't know,
Eden's just got one name, like Sting or Cheetos.
Says, Eden, what is the last thing
you changed your opinion on?
Also, what is your favorite kind of Oreo?
Well, that's two questions there.
and um complicated uh you sneak the next one it's interesting from a person who only has one name sneak in two
questions feel like there's a double standard going on there even
what's the last thing you changed your opinion on gosh i changed my opinion all the time
um i i guess um i guess i have changed my opinion so many times that i don't want to talk to you
about what i've changed my opinion on case i changed my opinion on
I will see this, though, and I believe this to be true, sometimes when you talk or write as much as I do, and that's a lot, you know, and sometimes it's not hosting a late night show, or sometimes it's not hosting a game show or something like that, sometimes it's not doing stand-up comedy, sometimes I actually write things down, like books, for example, and screenplays, which I'll be working on, actually, and one of them is, well, I will get that. That's one of the things that's not for now.
Anyway, the, um, but when I've looked at stuff that I wrote down, maybe 10, 20, gosh, even more than that, 30 years ago, I look at the work and most of the time I think, oh, yeah, that's all right, but, or it was what it was at the time, but sometimes I will read stuff that I've written a long time ago, and I think, that is not what I would have said now, but I guess that's part of getting, no, no, no,
isn't it? I mean, you change your mind.
Winston Churchill said, if you
feel the same at 50 as you
did when you were 20, you've wasted
30 years of your life. Now, I don't know if that's
entirely true. I mean,
I didn't agree with Churchill on everything.
I did agree with him on stand up to
Nazis and, you know, don't let
Hitler over here and all that
and don't make pals with Hitler, but
you know, Churchill, I don't know if a lot of Americans,
though Churchill's mother was American.
although he's the quintessential British leader
English leader let's be honest
he and is of course
revered greatly by the Brits
his mother was America
which he used a great effect during the war
when he was trying to persuade
everybody to come on board
anyway I don't like to get to that
but I guess I might have changed my opinion
on Churchill a little bit
there are parts of Churchill when Churchill was young
I was like, oh, yeah, and then when you get older,
it was like, wait a minute, or the other way around.
Sometimes he was young, it's like, oh, wait a minute,
and then we get older, and I was like, oh, yeah.
Life is complicated.
It's not all binary.
It's maybe, do you know,
do you know when people talk about nowadays,
like it's never been mystified
and people are so angry each other and all that,
and clearly that's true,
but I wonder if that's a product of the fact
that we live in an age
where our information is binary,
you know, that it is like
it's a one or a zero, that
the science, digital
technology is based on ones and zeros.
So it's either on or off. I wonder if that's
infected all sphere of political thought.
I look forward to your answers
agreeing with me visiferously
or disagreeing with me
vociferously.
See what I did? All right.
All right.
Julie Reed, this is a proper, good two names, Julie.
Not that having one name is wrong.
You can have one name if you want, like Sting or Christmas.
Julie Reed says, your autobiography came out in 2010.
I think it was 2009, but we'll go with it.
Your autobiography came out in 2009.
A lot has happened since then.
Tell me about it.
Have you considered a second volume?
I have.
I wrote one.
It came out.
2019 it's called writing the elephant
and it is a kind of second
volume of the autobiography it
starts the book writing
the elephant when me finishing it
late night
which
the um
American on purpose
kind of ended with the end of late 90
well it didn't really because I did it for another four years after that
but
but I did write another one
it's a funny thing about autobiography
because the one I roll
in 2009
American On Purpose
which I'm very proud of
and it was a very, very successful book
at New York Times bestseller actually
and this is
I'm in New York right now
although I don't see a copy of it anywhere
so it tells you what that is
it does do you in it anyway
the book did very well
but when you write a book
American On Purpose
that book was very splashy
very big and very kind of celebrity autobiography thing.
And the next book I wrote, I felt, was more reflective.
The writing the elephant book, it was more reflective,
and it was when I had stopped doing late night.
I'd been out in late night five years or so when I wrote it.
So it had a different feel for me, certainly.
It was more meditative and less splashy of a book.
It certainly sold less copies, which is of no real.
consequence but what it did was that it allowed me to write a book where I could be a little
slow it down a little bit you know I think when you write especially the first book well the first
book I wrote was not a was not a biography it was a novel called between the bridge and the
river but I talked about that I think last time we spoke anyway I just know it's an I need a haircut
sorry everybody you know it's an odd time of day to be doing this but you know here we are we're
now. Katie
from Perth Australia
Now
Katie's not put her second name
unless her second name is Fromm.
Katie from Perth
Australia. Fromm's a real name so it could be
that. So Katie from or Ms. Fromm
as we will call her now
Katie from Perth Australia
Hey Craig
if you lived in the old times what kind of job
do you think you would have done? For example
blacksmith ploughman leach collector
or that kind of thing
well first of all
I think I would have done exactly the same job
I in the olden times I think I would have
I would have just you know
being the village idiot
that's my job now
just talk and say stuff
and hope you don't get your head cut off
but sooner or later
anyway
Perth, Australia, of course, named after Perth, Scotland.
I've never been at Perth, Australia, but I have been to Perth, Scotland,
and it is, this may surprise you, a beautiful town.
Perth and Scotland is a beautiful town.
If you ever get the chance to visit it, go ahead and get there.
It's great.
Now, I'm not saying Perth Australia isn't,
but usually things are opposite in Narnia.
So maybe it isn't a beautiful town,
although I have talked to people who have been to Perth Australia,
and they assure me it is a beautiful town.
So go figure.
You make assumptions about things, and you're often wrong.
Or I am, certainly.
This is from Laurel Chesel.
Wow, that's a very nice name.
Larel Schesel.
Or Schlaasel.
Or maybe Laurel Schleschen.
I don't know.
But however she pronounces it,
I can't put an accent on it,
but she hasn't stated where she's from,
so I can't do the, you know,
oh, she's German.
Oh, this is a strong,
I can't do any of that.
I didn't do it for anyone else.
Maybe I should do it from Katie from Perth, Australia.
You're right, Kylie.
It seems right, nice.
That was in Australia next day.
I look forward to your letters of support
my friends in Australia.
You know, I do feel an affinity with people from Australia,
people from the South of America,
people from
many places
that have accents
you know people who speak English
but they have an accent in English
as their first language
because it's one of those things
whenever you run into people that don't have your accent
five times out of ten people both do
your accent to you as a way of greeting
like Regis who still was it to me
the great Regis Philbin who I loved very much
Regis Ustall
whenever I met me go oh Kareem
Virguson. I was like, knock it off, Regis. It's offensive. But he didn't think it was,
and I didn't think it was either, but I would say it because I was messing with him. Because
back in the day, you know, friends would mess with each other and, you know, say, well, we still
do that. You know, I did that with my friends. I'm careful not to do it with people who are
not my friends, though, because you never know how someone's going to react. I think that's
just matters. I do it with your friends. You can mess around with your friends, but don't
assume that someone has your point of view or
and take you're messing around.
I think I'm talking to myself here.
All right.
Well, clearly I'm talking to myself.
Everyone else is asleep.
I'm good jetlight.
This is from Larell anyway.
Sorry, everybody.
I'll get back to what I'm going.
Lorel says,
although I enjoy the conversation-style podcast
when you have guests,
I just want to do is enjoy your morning coffee chats
when you muse and share anecdotes.
Oh, this is the episode for you, Larell.
Morning coffee chats.
it's more than I guess
it might be something you want to continue
every now and again when you get back to New York City
and you're regularly scheduled life
well, Laurel, what a surprise
because that's exactly what I'm doing right now
life is a little irregular for me at the moment
we talked about that earlier when I've got jet lag
I don't quite get my business done
in the gentleman's department
not the gentlest department
the everybody's department
you know what I'm saying
milk milk lemonade
around the back
you know what I'm talking about
okay so what I'm saying is
things aren't as regular right now
because I've got jet lag
but you know I'm drinking
nice strong coffee
and she doesn't need to know this
anyway
yes I have to say
I do like doing these solo podcasts
because I feel like
there's something weirdly
liberate about what I'm doing right now, which is talking to you directly.
I like talking to people.
I do.
I just like talking to people, and I like listening to people.
I do like listening to people.
I'm interested in what people say and in people's lives,
particularly because everybody has a story.
And I'm fascinated by, see, a lot of my life, and I still do this a little bit.
as much.
I try to remember now that everybody has an ego and everybody has a story.
Everybody, you know, it's just celebrities or people who write books and movies or people
who, but like the bus boy has a story and will tell you if you're polite and get to open
up to you, the lady that works in the drag leader.
If we start talking, I'll hear her story and I'm like, oh my God, I had no idea.
you know it's and I and I particularly enjoy that and I suppose that's why I ended up doing the job I do by the very nature of doing late night television I suppose that the people you talk to tend to be in show business but that's not always my favorite type of person to talk to and there's plenty of interest in people at show business but there's plenty of interest in people who are not in show business that I like talking to them so
when I do this podcast, because when I did the podcast before it was owned by me on my own,
he would get a little push from people saying, you know, get more celebrity guests.
I'm like, why?
I mean, everybody's got a story, and why can't we just have somebody else on it?
Like, some of the guests I've had on this podcast that are not people that you would normally run into in the show business world.
And I really like that.
Not that I've ended against show business.
It's given me my life.
I love show business.
but it ain't the only business
it's not the only business I know
I know other people so when I sing the song
there's no business like show business
I'm like well
I wouldn't have been able to write that song
because I would have written
there's plenty of businesses like show business
everybody's kind of the same
there are lots of people who are clever
there are lots of people who are
dashed there are lots of people who are
interesting if you could just
get them to tell you
she's not got the same ring
about it, hasn't?
All right, this is from Debbie Shane.
Debbie says
Yeah, Craig. She doesn't say
where she's from. Or maybe it's Debbie
from Shane. I don't know.
If it's not a secret, can you tell me something
about secretariat? I feel stupid asking
but I've never been able to figure out how the
two-man horse actually works.
I mean, sure, the one in front stands up,
but does the one in the back have to bend at the waist
the entire toy. Yeah, that is.
Yes, Debbie, that's exactly how it works.
The two horse, pantomime horses, it's known in the crazy world of show business.
You, the front of the horse or the alpha horse, or the top horse, the horse that's the top is in the front.
And the bottom horse, the bea horse, the horse at the bag, bends over.
And they work together to create show business magic.
And that's what it's
done. Now, when I was doing late night,
Secretariat, the pantobine horse in my old late night show,
which if you don't know anything about that,
it's okay. But
Secretary at the front end of the horse
was always my friend and still my friend,
and a very talented writer, producer now,
a gentleman by the name of Joe Bolter,
which regulars,
people who know more about me,
know that Joe and I are still friends,
and that Joe writes
with me on many occasions
if I'm writing comedy stuff
and
writes for me I should say really
anyway Joe Bolter was always the front of the horse
he was a he was a PA at the time
a production assistant at the time and we're doing lately
he's much grander than that now
he's grown up married as a baby and everything
and sort of drives a car
but back then you know he had just
a little hat with a helicopter thing on it
and he used to walk to work
with a hoop and a stick
you know, and he'd have, say, hey, mister, you got a job,
and I'd say, sure, you're the front end of the horse,
and he was the front end of the horse,
and various other production assistants or interns
were given the back end of the horse.
So they're an elite group,
but too many to mention here.
They're kind of a secret society.
I can remember everyone's name.
All right, Juju Lee.
Again, I don't know where Juju is from.
When will you and Jeff
do it or is that they're able to say it because sometimes Juju Lee may be the first name
in Juj I don't know I don't know how it's done anyway uh Jujui Lee says Craig when will you
and Jeff do an improv comedy show or at least bring him on as your podcast sidekick
well Josh Robert Thompson who is the main energy and kind of the soul and funny and comedy
of Jeff Peterson has been on the podcast a couple of times and he'll be on again
I'm going to L.A. soon actually I'll give Josh a call if he
if he's available to do one in person.
I do love talking.
I do love talking to Josh, Robert Tongson.
Please remember this about Jeff Pearson.
If you remember nothing else about the comedy robot on late-night TV,
on my own late-night show.
That was Josh Robert Thompson did that.
He did that.
He was on my show.
So I got a lot of credit for it.
And I came up with the name, Jeff Peterson.
You know, but Grad Gamahara, God rest of him,
who was just a beautiful man.
Grant Imahara,
the Mythbusters,
tech genius, he built the robots.
I didn't build the robot, but this is the idea.
And then Josh Robert Thompson,
who did the voice for it.
Tom Straw, who was one of the writers of the show,
was also involved in the early days of Jeff Peterson.
But really, I'd have to say,
the energy and the success of Jeff Peterson
was Josh,
Robert Thompson. So, yeah, I will have what I was a guest. He's a comic genius. He makes me laugh like crazy. Very funny, man.
This is from Edible Ape Man. That's an interesting name. Edible Ape Man. People have unusual names sometimes.
Sometimes, I will say this about the internet and emails and emails and stuff. Sometimes people don't send you their real day.
And, you know, sometimes stuff on the internet isn't true.
I know if you guys know that.
I mean, this is true.
This is me here doing this.
I'm not an AI today.
Unless you're really annoying to something I said.
And then, this is AI.
Anbel 8man says,
Good morning from Kansas.
If you could have a part of the film written specifically with you in mind,
what kind of character and what kind of film would you have it to be, ideally?
Would it be a dashing room, get a space fantasy, romantic lead in a prison drama?
All right, very funny.
I feel like if there was a film
I would like to be,
and I've never been,
I've been in a few films,
you know, you can look me up,
I've been in a couple,
but if there's been in a Western,
I'd like being a Western.
I mean, I'd like to be in a Western
and do some back of tune
and maybe, you know,
take care of some bad guys,
ride a horse,
no fall off,
because every time I write a horse
at the moment it seemed to fall off
so maybe we could use AI to make me
look I was better at horses than
I actually am. I don't like horses and I
and I am the
proud co-owner of three horses
well two and a half
we have two giant cobs
and a Shetland
which is kind of like a
back up horse you know like the wheel in your car
you know like if you burst a tire
there's a little tire inside that will get you
as far as the
is the garage so you can get your
your whale replaced, you know, your tire replaced.
That's a Shetland. So we have
a Shetland and two cobs.
But they're really, my wife's horses.
She's very horsey.
Which
kind of explains why we're together, I suppose,
because, you know, she doesn't mind being around
big smelly things that
just like poop everywhere.
Although at the moment,
as we have learned today,
not pooping anywhere. Not even where I
should poop.
It'll work out. And I look forward to
your advice about you know
home remedies to get stuff
moving again although
as this podcast goes this is probably
an overshare as time is going on
I think coughing's kicking in
and we're going to be all right and so what I'm
saying is this is your five minute
warning the podcast is going to be over soon
you know what I said
all right too much
all right
all right
this is from Kim's Lantern
again I don't think that's
wheel there.
Kim says
I hope
you grow the scruff
out again, Craig.
It's very attractive
on you.
Oh, thanks, Kim.
Well, here's the thing.
The job I've been doing
at the moment requires me
to shave.
So,
I've been shaving.
And I've got to be
honest with you, I kind of like it.
I stopped shaving
for a while after late night.
You notice how all late night
is when they stopped doing,
like Lerman, of course,
being the absolute
the kind of over-the-top example.
They just stop shaving.
It's because you have to shave every day
when you're doing a late-night show.
Although nowadays, late-night shows can have beards.
What kind of a world is that?
Beards, moustaches, sometimes they don't wear ties.
I come from a different time, my friends.
We always had to shave and wear the tie.
I tried not wearing a tie.
Oh, man.
That was controversial.
I tried growing a moustache once.
You think late-night's controversial now.
Look up the time I tried to grow a moustache.
wasn't that bad
this is from
I'm just serious
I don't think that's a real name
I think that's one of them internet
nom de plumes
a nom de girl
a nom de internet
I'm just serious
says
how much money have you earned and spent
that's kind of a personal question
but I will say this
I've probably
in the last couple of years
I've spent more than I earned
but the last
no, a couple of years before that
in the last couple of years I probably
I went a little crazy for a while
because I didn't come from money
if you know this about me
I don't come from money
and after a while
when I was in Hollywood for a while I started making
a little bit of money
I'm not a billionaire any of that crap
but I you know I was making a little money
and I
you know a little
money's a weird thing because
if you grow up kind of
in modest circumstances
which I most certainly did
I had a feeling that money would solve
all my problems
people would say if I had that money
I would do this
that's how people talked because they were Scottish
and that's where I left when I was young
and what I have found
about money is that it's great
having some money
money is really useful
I don't know if that is
used to anyone. But
there are certain things that it can't touch.
I mean, take care of
so many things that are important. And I understand
that. Please don't get high greener. Me, if you don't have
any money, or if you don't have as much
money as you want, or you think, I've got too much
because I assure you,
in the having too much money
leagues, I ain't your guy.
But
it
doesn't do
what I thought
it would do
it's
an odd thing
and it's hard to explain it
maybe a little like this
so when I was a kid
I hated going to the dentist
hated it now I grew up in Scotland
in the late 1960s early
late 1960s and 70s
and although
we could afford
that the dentist, you know, was, it was socialized medicine, so you could go to the dentist
and you, and you would. I hated it. I hated it. It was, it terrified me. I really hated it.
And I thought when I was a wee boy in Cumbernauld and Scotland, I thought, you know,
if I grew up, I get famous and I get on the telly, I'm not going to go to the dentist.
I won't have to. If I make some money, I won't have to go in the dentist. Because I,
someone I equated it with
being poor
I think when you're poor
you think everything's to do with being poor
it certainly feels like that
anyway I used to think when I was a kid
when I grew up I'm going to make some money
and I've never gone at a dentist hour again
and then I
grew up my stuff working on
American television
let me tell you some
if you work in movies or television
in the United States of America
you'll be gone to the dentist
a lot
especially if you grew up in Scotland
in the 60s or 70s and you go into
a couple of barfights and you
and you go into
you know
no go to the dentist for a while while you were
you know enjoying active alcoholism
which is you know it's not a big
dead go-to thing
I don't know
it's an interesting thing
How much money have I am?
Probably more than I deserved.
How much have I spent?
Probably more than I should have.
But I'm grateful for every fucking penny.
You know?
So I think that it's kind of an interesting thing.
I know I'm kind of going on a bit today.
And I do have to leave in a minute, if you know what I'm saying.
Coffee's kicking in.
But I...
the things that are beyond a certain kind of being able to take care of your family and stuff
and of course everyone wants that you know it's not else you know it's not that it's a way to get
make sure you're staying on top of it I suppose it helps but it's not everything that's all
I'm saying it's not it's not what I thought it was it's good basically like it um
I'd rather have it and don't have it, though.
I'd rather have some money than don't have it.
So how much money have you earned it spent?
I don't know.
No, I do know this.
I do have to go, my friends.
Thank you for talking me through a jet-lack chitty chat.
I think I'm getting better.
And I'll see you guys.
It'll probably just be us again next week.
I'm so busy right now.
And I'm not complaining.
I'm not complaining, but I am busy.
so I think this will be how we do it for a little while
until I get my feet kind of settled out a little bit
with everything that's going on.
I'll fill you in and all of this later on.
I hope you will.
Stay safe, my friends, and I'll see you next week.
See you.
Thank you.
