Hey everybody, and welcome to LeMent Tonight. All right. Thank you, Gary Lymes and the Flea Tones for bringing us in. We’ve got a great show for you tonight. Thanks, everybody, for being here. We’ve got our audience of one. I’m ripping off a man named Alan Havey from the olden days of Comedy Central. You guys know that reference at all? Maybe not. No. Okay. You don’t. That’s okay. That’s okay because we’ve got lots of stuff going on tonight. Our guest tonight is Jason… I’m hopefully, I’m saying your name right. Oh, good. It’s almost like half with an L, but it’s without the L. It’s just half. The L is silent and missing. Totally. Yeah. Totally removed. Whenever they came over from the old country, they’re like, just drop this L. Jason started his comedy career at the ripe old age of 53. He’s now 53 and a third.
He slings jokes around Houston on topics ranging from marriage to vector calculus. He’s a physics professor by day, which led it to his commanding 1.6 section performance as online professor number three in the film Palm Springs, circa 2020. Jason Hafner, folks. Hey, Jason. Hey, it’s good to be here, Bob. Good to see you. Okay, good. Thank you. You’re my favorite blue cat on the internet. Well, there’s lots. I’ve almost matched your cup tonight. Exactly. Whenever you lifted it up, I thought part of my head was going away there. So, Jason, lament tonight. We start out with some jokes, and I think you’re the joke purveyor tonight. Okay. All right. So I do a little set. Was that the plan? Yeah, that’s the plan. Okay. I should have read the script. Fire away. Well, so here’s the deal.
No, lately I’ve been thinking about how the country is so polarized. You know what I mean? And I don’t want to contribute to that polarization. I think I’ve found something that like we can all agree on both sides of the political spectrum. And that is that President Trump is too orange. Can we get together on that? Is everybody, I mean, you know, we all agree, right? I mean, even if you’re Trump supporter, you got to agree. If you saw him in a grocery store, you didn’t know him. It’s a, you get your phone out, take a quick, like sneaky picture, you know? Yeah. Do you have a Pantone set to tell me how orange he is? I don’t, I haven’t studied it yet. I haven’t studied it yet, but to me it’s weird because like in his first term, he had a nice bronze tan thing going, you know, and now it’s like, is he tanning on Tatooine? Like what’s going on? I don’t really, I see more natural looking skin on a bowl of egg drop soup. You know what I mean? So, uh, that’s, that’s been bothering me lately. I forgot how many minutes I’m supposed to do. Let’s see. That’s okay. Keep going. Okay. Let’s keep going. Yeah. So, um,
I’ve been, uh, dealing with, uh, my parents are getting pretty old. My dad is 90, but he’s doing well. He’s doing great for 90. He, he gets a little confused on the internet. He, he called me and he’s worried that my kids won’t be able to find a job because of a one. So yeah, I was like, what? And he, he’s like, you know, a one it’s taking over. And I was like, Oh yes. A one. No, I was worried he’s going to start using ketchup to help him run an email or something like that. Of course he met, he met AI. Um, what else going on with him? He, uh, I was trying to help him with his browser and, uh, he had bookmarked the bookmark manager. So that was weird. I don’t know if he’s like slipping or he’s a genius, you know, I haven’t figured it out yet, but, uh, but yeah, the parents are, are doing okay. What’s going on? See here, we can go a little blue on a little bit tonight, right? Is that all right? Sure. Whatever, whatever you do guys, uh, here’s one for the fellas, you know, one for the fellas. Um,
You ever, fellas, you ever at the urinal with your phone and where you might accidentally take a dick pic? You may worry about that. You should worry about it because it happened to me. All right. And the worst part is wasn’t my dick. I got the guy next to me. He was, he was not happy. Then actually he was cool with it because I showed it to him and I really captured it. You know, I really like perfect lighting, perfect combo, you know, I like that. I’m like the Ansel Adams of dick pics basically, you know, so that’s. where I am. I’ve been practicing a lot lately. I practice so much that I can open my phone two ways. Now I can open my phone like this, or I can open my phone like this. And it’s like, Oh, he’s been swimming again. So anyway, what else is going on? I am married, been married for 27 years. Thank you. Thank you very much. No, it’s, it’s cool. She’s a runner. So it’s kind of cool to be married to a runner.
It’s kind of like being single, actually. I wake up alone every morning. She goes to bed at nine. She’s asleep. We’re a few hours together over pretty much. So it’s kind of like being single. Also, distance running is an interesting hobby. I’ve never seen a hobby bring someone so little joy. And I’m a comedian, so that gives you some idea of what that’s like. She’s the hottest woman I know, though. I love her. She is the hottest woman I know in her age group. Let’s be realistic. I mean, in her her age group. I do support her in her running, though. I don’t really run with her, but I do carb load with her. Whenever she’s carb loading, I jump in there. I did have to stop running for an injury. I cut my tangents. That’s a running joke. I don’t know. That’s mostly what’s going on. What’s going on with you? Thank you.
Everybody. Fantastic. Thank you, Jason. Yeah, so what is going on? How does one be a – because you’re a physics professor, right? So you teach the younglings physics. Yes. And you’re doing this comedy stuff now. And why did you wait so long? Yeah, so I was sort of in, I loved stand-up since I was a little kid, you know, like trying to watch Johnny Carson, trying to stay awake. Everybody my age has that story of trying to watch it when they were 12. So I always loved to see him then. I watched it all my life. And I always kind of dreamed of doing it. I thought I would do it because, you know, I have like this career and I’m a serious career person. I’m going to have kids and, you know, I’m not going to go out and hang out in bars all night and have kids. But I finally got old enough and the kids are gone and I’m less concerned about the career.
So I just went to a couple of open mics and decided to go for it. So I’ve been going pretty hard for the past 18 months. So it’s pretty fun. I really like it. I’m having a great time with it. So. Oh, so you’re over 53 then now. Yeah. I just said you’re 53 and a third for, for funds, but now you’re 54. Yeah. Okay. Well, 54 and a half. Yeah. Well, let’s not, we don’t need to push it. I don’t really need to get any older. So, So as far as the career goes, I mean, you’ve pinnacled. You’re like, okay, nothing else is going to happen. I might as well go out and do what I want. Yeah, some things happened that made it clear I’d reached my limit, and I decided I didn’t care if my colleagues found out what I was doing. So I was like, screw it, I’ll just go do what I want. Do you have any – does anybody – I mean, do they know? Do they go see you? Oh, yeah. So what I kind of do is I keep the comedy on, like,
Facebook, Instagram, social media. I removed all anything professional off that. So technically you can’t tell where I work from there, but they’re all friends with me on that. So they see it on that, but you kind of have to post all that kind of stuff. If you want to be in the scene and advertising shows, you don’t really have a choice. So, you know, so they know, and some colleagues, I think most of them think it’s awesome. They don’t think they’re not, it doesn’t bother anybody and they come to shows and everything. So it’s mostly great. The ones that really don’t like it probably just don’t tell me. I was going to say, nobody’s come up to you and you’re like, um, Well, Professor Hafner, I think your offices are for performers of a different kind. That’s right. They haven’t said, you know, I heard that Trump joke about Bob Lumet tonight. That’s right. We’re waiting for that call. Yeah, all the many MAGA supporters in the educational system. I didn’t mean to risk your license with that. I should have cleared that with you. I’m sorry.
So you’re doing this, obviously. And what’s the end goal? Because as a professor, as a teacher, being afraid of the crowd or scared to get up in front of people, there’s no problem with that. Yeah. So what’s the push then? What’s the reason for doing it? So, I mean, you can’t. I mean, it’s really not just a hobby. I think a lot of people thought, oh, he’s doing this for a few months and he’ll stop. And I’m pretty serious. I mean, you know, there’s no money in comedy, but if there were, if I could make enough for this to leave my professor job. So I’m, I don’t know where I’m headed, but I’m going as hard as anybody else who’s trying to make it basically. I mean, I’m going out three or four nights a week. I’m trying to get on book shows. I’m traveling around. So I don’t really know realistically what I can accomplish, but I’m not like
thinking of it as just a little fun thing I’m doing. Would you say you’re going at it as seriously as your wife’s running? No, she is actually, no, I mean, yeah, she is a very serious, like she, she runs lots of marathons and she’s on a running streak where she’s run every day. I think she’s approaching 2000 days. It’s sort of, yeah, there’s this sort of people, every group of people that are running streaks, they run a mile, at least a mile every day. And they run these ridiculous people decades. So, so I guess she beats me. Cause I don’t go out, to a club every day, every night. Well, yeah. That’s probably for your own benefit. Yeah, because it’s rough. I mean, I think it’s rough at my age to be out at midnight or one in the morning with a bunch of 20-somethings. It’s fun. Eight o’clock class. Not everybody can quite handle the sleep schedule that I pull. Do you ever see any students while you’re out performing? Oh, yeah. Oh, really? Yeah.
They know about it. Some of them actually come to shows. If they show up to a show, I always swing by and say, we’re not on campus. I would never say that. The only people that would come to a show are people that are cool about it. I thought maybe there was extra credit. You’re like, extra credit tonight if everybody comes. I need to get some seats filled, for Christ’s sake. My rule is I never promote on Probably my greatest moment that I saw a student before I started doing it, I was thinking about doing it and I was in a comedy club. I just see it watching somebody and a student was there that knew me. And he’s like, professor Hafner. I said, Oh, hi. They said, are you performing tonight? And I’m like, Oh my God. I was like, okay, maybe I should go for it. If they think I can do it. It’s the added, uh,
anxiety because they’re there watching. And then, and then you see them, you know, in a couple of days and like, they’re like this, this lesson sucked today, professor. You weren’t even funny at all. I don’t complain that I tell too many jokes in class, which is not true. I don’t, it’s like 0.1% of the time, but I’ve gotten a little tangents and things. Yeah. So, well, that’s good. So then you mentioned you had, I think you said you had kids in that statement. And how many kids did you say you had? I have two. Oh, I thought you said you had more than that for some reason. I thought I heard a different number. I’ve taught classes with hundreds, but yeah, my personal children, only two that I know of. Oh, hey, yeah. That’s a comics reaction, right? Oh, that I know of. That I know of. Sorry, one hacky tit joke, yeah. Yeah. Okay, I…
For some reason, I thought you said more than that. What do your kids think? What do your kids think about all this? They’re old enough to think it’s cool. They’re not 13 or something like that. They’re in their early 20s. They’ll come to a show every now and then. It works. They’re supportive then. The biggest pressure I ever had at a show was my college-age kid came and brought two of his college friends. I was like, okay, I cannot bomb. in front of his college friends. Fortunately, I had a really good one, so it went really well that night. That was the first time I was really anxious about a show. Oh, okay. Because you had your son in the audience then? Yeah, and his friends. I didn’t want to drag his friends to his dad’s comedy show and then just crickets and humiliation. So have you bombed really badly in front of anybody? No, I mean at open mics when you’re doing
whatever. I mean, I’ve never had just a complete silence kind of bomb before, but I’ve had ones where I was like, that didn’t go that great. And then the guy after me just killed. So it’s like, it was me. I set him up. I put him to sleep for you. There you go. Yeah, exactly. I’m trying on all those kind of classic stereotypical comedy moments, you know, where you think you’re doing well and you’re not and all that kind of stuff. So, so, Some people say they relish when they bomb. What’s your interpretation of that? Yeah, I don’t relish it. I think I’ve learned that when you’re bombing, it’s an opportunity to try to figure out how can you get them. The key is, I think, to not give up. Just keep rocking the material as hard as you can. Just annoy them if you have to. And then you might figure out a trick to get them laughing again. I don’t know. I don’t like it.
So you don’t overthink it then? You kind of go out, you got your stuff. Yeah. You try your best. They say like crowd work is what you do when that’s not working, but I’m not good at that. I’m like a very like memorized jokes kind of person. I’m trying to do a little bit more interaction, but that’s not really usually what I do. Well, and your students would probably put that on your performance at the end of the year. He doesn’t interact with the class enough. He’s just talking to us. What do you think? Yeah. You don’t even know about physics, you idiot. I’m telling you. That’s part of my act is being a professor affects my comedy. Here’s my crowd work. Any questions? That’s my crowd work. That’s the whole crowd work. Yeah, that’s all I got. So then do you think that any of this helps you? So as far as do you think each is influencing the other as far as being a professor and also being a comic? Yeah, I mean, I think…
think the professor thing in the past, just being naturally a little bit funny has helped me in terms of lecturing. And then for the professor helping the comedy, that was just 20 years of being on stage essentially already. So they’re not actively currently helping each other, but historically they probably help each other, I would guess. I’m a little bit more in touch with what the youth is talking about, I guess, because I’m around students all day than your average 54-year-old. I like you do the youth with the… Yeah, we don’t see a lot of the air quotes anymore. Just so you know, Jason. I did. No, air quotes. You just did an air quote, didn’t you? No, this is clocking. This is like, I can’t clap because it’ll break my nails. Oh, okay. I thought you did an air quote there. I’m sorry. I do nested air quotes. I did that once in class. I had air quotes. I was like, like this, but like that. That’s nested air quotes. Oh, boy.
I’m learning stuff. My main contribution to academia is a nested air quotes. I’m doing parents. I’m doing parents. Parentheses. A parent is, is, is a single parentheses. Yeah, exactly. I’m doing, I’m doing whole code up here. Brackets, bars, slashes, forward slash, backward slash. Well, uh, Let’s take a little break with Gary Limes and the Flea Towns. We’ll come back and we’ll play a game. How’s that sound? All right. Sounds good. Hey, Gary, take it away. One, two, three, four. Thank you. Oh, it’s early morning. Can anybody remind that song there? You know what that song was? Anyway. Yeah, it was the Scorpions. Rock you like a hurricane. But I played it really fast. Gary plays it really fast. He does. Because they’re fleas. Yeah, I get it. Gary Limes and the Flea Tones. Thanks, Gary. Thank you very much. Bob, you are a great asshole. Okay, thanks, Gary. That’s enough.
So we’ve got a game here. I think you wanted to, oddly enough, the professor wants to be the expert. Okay. And we’ve got Will, King Charles here with us tonight, if he pops back up here. And King, you can play along with us as well. So you’re going to pretend, you as the guest is going to pretend to be an expert in a field that I tell you that you are the expert in. Okay. Right? And then I’m going to ask you questions and you’re going to make up answers on the spot. And I usually use a little bit of AI to generate some ideas here in the background. So I got to do a little quick typing. I wish I had some typing sound effects because you can’t hear my keyboard’s too soft. There you go. Yeah, give me some typing.
I’m still typing. Okay. I’m opening chats. I’m going to log off. All right. Okay. Jason Hafner. Yes. You are a professional bridesmaid. Oh, man. In a modern wedding, you know. Well, that’s the great part, right? So it can go any way, right? Yeah. Professional bridesmaid, and so I’m going to ask you some questions. So as a professional bridesmaid, you know, what would your advice be? Because you’re going to be integral to this wedding. What would your advice be to the bride and groom as they’re setting up their nuptials? I would say is you got to stretch. Be sure to stretch because you’re going to throw that bouquet behind you, right? You don’t want to pull a muscle before the toss. So just a little bit of this, a little bit of this before the reception would be my advice. Let’s see. What was the question? You’re a professional bridesmaid. Professional bridesmaid, yes, yes. And you’re helping with the nuptials, and so you’re going to give them some advice on stretching. That’s a good one.
That’s certainly a prep work that they’re going to need to do ahead of the ceremony. Any advice during the ceremony? Well, there’s all the generic don’t walk your knees. Let’s see, don’t trip. Keep an eye on the ring bearer. He might not give up the ring. That’s a tricky one. People don’t realize that. But ring bearers often won’t give up. Wild card. Yeah, it happened. I’ve seen it happen. Um, let’s see, what else would the bridesmaids say though? Um, pick a cool dress, you know, I like a kilt personally, a nice kilt. Um, keep the bridal party small because you’re less likely to have like a lot of infighting. You know, when you see the wedding with like 12 bridesmaids, you know, there’s problems, right? So let’s keep it to like maybe five or six at most. Even if you have cousins that you don’t talk to on his side, still got to keep the numbers small.
What’s your thoughts on a rainbow wedding? You ever see the rainbow wedding where everybody’s got different colored dresses and different colored cummerbunds? I’m a traditionalist. I need those dresses absolutely identical because you like to judge and say who can pull it off. Two of them pulled it off. The other three didn’t work. How do you handle the bridezillas that are out there? What’s your advice to wrangling a real bridezilla? I like a good tranquilizer dart. I feel like you need somebody in the back that’s got the dart at all times in case things get out of hand at the rehearsal dinner or something like that. That’s what I would go with. Any particular specific drug that you use in your darts? I don’t even know what they put in those darts. Forfolol. I just made that up. Pentafolol.
I was totally buying it. You shouldn’t have said anything. I’m like, really? Just make up a chemical-sounding word that ends in all. Where’s that on the periodic chart? I don’t know. No, that’s not me. They all sound the same. Laced with Mosconium. That was an old term. They don’t call it that anymore. I think it’s a big debate. Who’s older, me or Bob, with the references? I like to just think we’re both smart. Thank you, Jason. Yeah, that’s private. We’re so high. That’s what I was going for. I don’t know about… So as a professional bridesmaid, right, would you… I mean, how much do you charge? Oh, a professional bridesmaid? You mean I go wedding to wedding and they pay me to do a bridesmaid?
You’re for hire. You’re like a gun for hire here. Oh, I’m like a consultant. Yeah, yeah. Okay, I see. So the question was, how much do you charge, right? So probably the same I charge for a comedy set. So basically a dollar a minute. Okay, wow. If I’m doing five minutes. For that for the whole, I mean, these things can take weeks. Well, a dollar a minute. Or is it just for the ceremony itself? Yeah. that’s every minute i’m working. It’s a dollar. That’s only 16. You’re like a 1-900 number for christ’s sake. I don’t know what’s going on. That’s an old reference for you. Thank you. Kids today don’t even pay for anything. It’s like, I got a phone. I just pay for it and i can do whatever i want my parents um you’re like yeah 1-800 collect yeah um
So it’s a dollar a minute. That’s pretty, I think that’s a pretty good rate depending on, you know, you may not get called to do much at that rate. They had like a five minute wedding. You know, you show up with every, with all your accoutrement for five. Yeah. When I’m not booked, I just hang out at Vegas hotels and stuff like that. What’s the add on for the dart gun? A good dart gun. It’ll knock someone out running about 200. Okay. There you, there’s where you, that’s where everybody gets in on the upsell, on the upsell. What other upsell options do you have besides the tranquilizer? Well, there’s the dance lessons because I’m such a good dancer, you know? Oh yeah. Oh yeah. You have no idea. No. And I don’t. There’s all the videography. I do videography on the side. I just like to wear like a, like a tiara.
No, what’s the camera? I wear a GoPro. Oh, you wear a GoPro. I was going to say you’re a tiara GoPro. I offer GoPro footage. Yeah, so then you get those close-up shots of all the action from the stage there. What do they call that? Oh, yeah, from the first-person shooter? I don’t know. Yeah. One other uphill I do offer is if you have that problematic uncle a little handsy, I’ll just hang with him. I’ll take him home. Then nobody has to worry about him. Take one for the team is what you’re saying. I’ll hang out with them. More bad long stories, too much talking. Put that one out to me and I’ll take them out and everybody else can have a good time. Have I told you how I can recite the periodic table? Oh, tell me about that. Well, that’s pretty good. I think you’re well on your way to a third career here with this professional bridesmaid.
You’re going to have to get a business card with three sides. You’ve got professor, comedian, bridesmaid. Well, thank you. Now let’s hear a little bit from Gary and the flea tones and we’ll come right back. All right. One, two, three, four. Yeah, you don’t get any copyright strikes when they can’t understand what anybody says. That’s right. Now that I know they’re real songs, now I’m really thinking. Oh, I know what that one is. So, Jason, I mean, fantastic on the expert. I mean, even though at first, you know, there towards the end, I thought maybe you didn’t realize what you were talking about because you didn’t realize you were an expert bridesmaid. But that’s okay. Professional. Yeah. But no, I’ll pull it out real well. So I know you’ve done a couple of shows on Plausible. And I’ve already forgot the name of it, to be honest with you. My open mic is the syllabus open mic. Oh, the syllabus. So catchy. First and third Tuesday night. Are you still doing that? I’ve only done two. It’s a longstanding open mic.
I’ve booked it out for the rest of the year, every first and third Tuesday night. Oh, okay. It’s very plausible. I find it really great. Everybody’s very supportive. If you want to come try for the very first time, that’s a great place to come try. So did you do yours in the real world before you did the plausible thing? Oh, my open mic? I’ve got one show, one bar show that I do once a month. That’s like a showcase thing where I book people. So that’s happening in Houston. The next one is next Friday, September 26th. If anybody’s in Houston, what’s to come? Just watch my social media. It’s a small town. You can get around for 20 minutes. Yeah, just wander around. Like 3 million people. Yeah, this is a couple of folks. They stop by and we all get drinks. But then I do other shows. Those are the only things that I host. Then I just do other ones that I get to be on. You pick up. But did you do your first…
comedy show as in the meat world or in the virtual world? Oh, in the, in the real meat world. Yeah. In the meat world. So I found the online stuff when i was going to la and trying to find some connections and just people and what’s going on in LA. That’s how i stumbled on plausible and Leanne. And that’s really when i started doing, so i didn’t start doing the online until i’d been doing it for over a year. Oh, really? Yeah. I didn’t know this stuff went on so so i really i like okay that’s great i’ve gotten some really good friends and some good jokes i’ve heard. So. So I enjoy the L.A. part. Where’d you go in L.A.? Because, I mean, a lot of folks who are on the platform here are at the Comedy Store right now. So Tim Mann and Brain Damage are going to be doing a roast, unfortunately, I think on the 26th. But it’s just a short drive from Houston. People have to pick. You’re either going to the Comedy Store or coming to Dino’s. That’s right. And Pablo and Dino and everybody.
I get to hang out with them all the time online. I did the Kibbitz Room. I think it was the only place I actually got up. I wasn’t there very long. The Kibbitz Room, it used to be an old rock and roll room somewhere in Hollywood. Now they have an open mic. I think it was on Monday. It was on a Sunday or a Monday. Then I gave my shot at the big clubs, just did the bucket draw and I didn’t get up, so that’s okay. Okay. How long were you out there in California then? Just like two or three nights or something. I was there for a physics meeting. Wait a minute. This is something that I would like New York and LA. Now I’m like, Oh yeah, I’ll go. I need to give a talk. I’m working. I’m working during the day, but they paid me to get here. So now, yeah, I do my time and I got a free hotel room. So anyway,
I do that every time. I’m sure all open micers are like this. Anytime you go to any city for another reason, you all sort of like looking online. Sure. That’s, I mean, what are you going to do? Pay for it all yourself? Come on. Yeah. I did that in Scotland. I did an open mic in Edinburgh. Oh my gosh. I really wasn’t there for business. If the government’s watching, I have the receipts. There’s proof that I’ve been recorded. talking about physics. Yes, I was there for physics. How did you like it over there? Did people react to you well? When you’re over there, you’re the person with the funny accents and everything. It was a really good set. Did you eat haggis? No, I’m vegetarian. I had vegetarian haggis. I don’t even know what that is. Everything in haggis…
Everything in Naga’s is nasty gross. How gross can we make a veggie plate? As gross as humanly possible. There’s a lot of wet spinach and moldy bread or something. I don’t remember. It was gross. We didn’t go for the food to Scotland. I’ll just say that. Probably not. I don’t think anybody goes there for the food or the weather. We had good weather that week. Would you go back? Cause you know, Edinburgh has got the huge comedy fest, right? Yeah. There’s that fringe fest thing for sure. Yeah. No, I’ve never went back. Well, actually I went for physics, but I did schedule the trip around this open. It was actually, I’m just meeting with people when it was loose on the schedule and they’re like, what days would be good? I’m like, well, I’d really like to be there on a Monday. So I get to look at when the fringe fest is. And I’m going to tell those collaborators again, you know, guys, I really feel like we need to talk in person.
We need to have a meetup. Again. I haven’t done the festival stuff yet. You can apply to festivals and try to get into one and go. I haven’t really been trying to do that. Eventually, right? Is it on your list? I don’t know. I can already travel so much for work and just go to open mics. It’s kind of the same thing. I’m not pursuing that too hard. I’m pretty focused on Houston and and local like Austin and San Antonio and getting to know people around there. Yeah. Okay. Well, everybody watch for Jason Hafner, the, uh, professor comedian. Do you have like, do you just say you’re Jason Hafner or do you have like a little moniker? Oh, sometimes I go on as professor Hafner. I usually at the end say I’m professor Hafner. So sometimes I’ll throw a professor in there. Yeah. Prof half or half. Never, never gotten into the half that, that silent L joke. We’ve never, that was a riff.
I’m going to keep that one. That was a good one. I’m not halfner. I’m halfner. It’s the halfner. Well, Jason, thank you very much for being with me tonight and lament tonight. And thanks for sharing with us and being a fantastic bridesmaid. We all appreciate it. And I’m going to have Gary play us out. Hang on for just a minute. And we’ll see you all next time, everybody. everybody. Thanks for watching. Thank you.
