## Resource

We're back and Rauce is getting ready to see if comedy is bigger in Texas! He flys out this week to film a sketch that Jake Rica pitched on this very show a few months ago, dreams really do come true! Texas is now the home of stand up comedy and Rauce remembers visiting the Apple campus for lunch on his last visit and he could taste the innovation, yes it's similar to chicken. Is it weird that AI has a hit song? Is it weird that we like it? Joel turned 40 something today and he feels like he's old enough to move into a senior living community without much scandal. According to the internet by Joel's age you should have achieved financial security and physical health…oh well! Rauce's 2 year old son keeps saying "I did it!" after not doing anything and we try to figure out how to gently check him back into reality. Parenting can be disorienting for anyone but especially Rauce because he has no sense of direction, like at all. He doesn't know where he is right now but as long as his phone is charged, it doesn't matter! Stumble through the darkness with us, enjoy!
