I'm going to try to do this video in one take and with no edits and we will see how it goes. But if you are paying attention at all and if you're at all aware of my posting cadence, you know that I post multiple times a day. And so it's very unusual that not only did I miss out on the thing that I've been doing, which is viewer voicemail, which is every day on Sundays. Or not every day and Sundays, every week on Sundays. I also haven't updated since Friday and I only did one video that day was very unusual and so you might be asking yourself Keith What is going on is Keith okay? Is there something wrong and the answer to those things is I am fine

But not to be dramatic I have completely changed my life and I guess it is a kind of dramatic thing I have lived in D.C. for five years, almost exactly. This time five years ago was COVID. I moved to D.C. after having worked on John Ossoff's Senate race and winning that campaign. I moved to D.C. And I stayed there for much longer than anticipated. I stayed there for five years. Funny enough, when I moved there, it was I moved there on my birthday, which is February 20th. It's almost my birthday. And on that day is actually when I tweeted out that Ted Cruz was heading to Cancun during that winter storm in Texas. And yes, if you don't know a part of my lore is that I did make that go viral. And Ted Cruz in

Texas and Cancun, this guy right here, blew it up. Regardless. That it was five years ago this time. I know that because it happened when I moved in. But as I'm saying, that was five years ago and I have decided to leave D.C. And so the reason why I haven't been posting for so long is because I have moved. I've moved cities. I now live in New York. And as you can tell, I'm not in a house.

I'm not in a studio. I'm actually in a hotel. And that's because there was something wrong with the place I was moving into and so I had to Shack up into a hotel to get some stuff fixed That'll get taken care of tomorrow and I am having a studio built out in that space and so hopefully By Tuesday at some point videos will look normal again or as normal as possible and I'll go back to our normal schedule, but I'm super excited for this new chapter I've lived here before. I'm excited to live here again. I don't want to

besmirch D.C., but it just was not, this is not the city for me, and I've already felt so much more at home here in New York than I have in the many years that I've been in D.C. So I guess, like, you know, I just want to say if you are thinking about making changes in your life, trust that feeling, trust the feeling. I don't know how this is going to work out for me in New York, But I know that for me in DC it wasn't working. And so I'm going to do a quick update here. Just wanted to quickly let you know what was going on. I'm totally fine.

Everything is fine. I'm sorry that I have not been as around. But I don't know if you ever move before. Moving sucks. It sucks. It is not easy. It's stressful. I've been in a state of shock.

and in some ways it feels like I'm experiencing a death. And it's all good because there's a rebirth happening at the same time, but also all my stuff is like, it's like all boxes, it's chaos, whatever. So it makes, I just, I have to focus my energy and my time on getting my life, at least a little bit situated so that when I do this work, it can feel, I can feel present for it. So that's why I haven't been around. I will be posting some videos to my, tomorrow, set updates, and hopefully can slowly start getting back into a groove here.

But I would just please, please, please, if you can, just be understanding that I am in a huge life transition. And it's all good stuff. And I'm really excited about it. And I think it is the right move for me. But it is taking up a lot of energy and mental space. And so I just had to focus on that. And I wanted to at least give you a bit of insight as to what's happening.

um so you're not left worrying um so yeah so please please please please please hit like in the video subscribe all that sort of stuff but um i am i am experiencing a huge um transition and please just bear with me as i do it and i think i just did that all in one take wow my lips are really chapped can you tell it's drier in new york i've got to get chapsic but i'll see you tomorrow okay And soon enough, we'll be back in a studio and all that sort of stuff. Okay. Thanks for your patience. Thanks for your understanding.

Thanks for your support. And I'll talk to you soon. Bye.
