I, you know, and I love physical comedy and all that, and people just like, well, I don't know if she can do that. And I'm like, just give me a chance, and I'll show you what I can do. So the wonderful thing is, I feel like the best is yet to come. I feel like in every single season of my life. In my 20s, I was one thing. In my 30s, I was one thing. In my 40s, I'm another thing. And it's been fun to explore, you know, all the things that are yet to come. But I don't like. People ask me, what's my favorite movie? I'm like, I haven't done it yet. Aside, I think you could beat Charlamagne in arm wrestling. Your arms are diesel right now. I really think. I really think you could be Charlamagne, an arm wrestler. Have you seen my arms?

I want to do all the things I've thought of or dreamt of doing and really be, you know, intentional about that happening in our lives. And so I think for me, with Regina, it was looking at, like, oh, wow, she's in a place where her career is going the way that it's going. And that's good. But this. This is what's really going on. These are the things that really matter is her family, her sister, her mother. And so her navigating that, to me, also reflected in my own life. Yes, I'm at work, and I'm blessed to be able to have a job that I love and do something that I enjoy. But, you know, things are at home.
