I love Bloomington. I drove cross country to move to LA from the, I know, brag, to move to LA from the East Coast. And I definitely stopped somewhere in Indiana for lunch, but I simply don't remember which city. Um, it might've been Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, Bloomington, you name it. Yeah. Go you Hoosiers. Exactly. Um, so yeah, either way I will be spending definitely time in Bloomington for this show on April 8th. We still have some details to hammer out, but we're just putting that on your radar, listeners.

Yeah, I'm very excited for that festival. Same. And then I have one more little plug, if I may. Oh my gosh, do it. My book, Raw Dog, A History of Hot Dogs, is coming out in the spring, which is wild. It feels like I've been waiting for it to come out for 900 years. It comes out on May 23rd, 2023. And I will be going on a book tour to promote it to a number of major American cities. They haven't told me which ones, but I can tell you

that it will at least be Boston, New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, and I believe Seattle. But, but if you are in a city where you think that people would like to go to a book event about hot dogs, I would love to know about it because I want to tell my publisher to send me places. I want to go everywhere. I want to meet everybody. And I'm really excited to have the book out. So we've got an exciting year coming ahead is what we're saying.

I guess it's pretty up to date. But in terms of what I'm currently doing, there's very little insight but maybe I'll change that soon for some reason when you said Ming dynasty I thought you were gonna say something about minions oh the minion dynasty which was a very evil reign I'm sure we can all remember oh my god my mom made the weirdest minions joke okay this is what I choose to go out on my mom made the weirdest minions joke the other day because she choose to go out on my mom made the weirdest minions joke the other day because she got i tweeted this a few days ago but i do think it's
