Clap at the plane landing. That's a nervous clap. That's not an excitement clap. That's not a thank you for your service clap. That's a holy. We got here in one piece clap. That's what that clap is. I don't want to hear it. If I. If I'm flying somewhere cool and I land, I. I would be like, yes. You know, like, to me, like, you know, But. But like a clap. I. I'll tell you what. Because it's. It's. We went to see Godzilla. Okay? What's today? Today's Thursday's recording. Yeah, I wouldn't see Godzilla on Tuesday. And we went. The theater was packed. Big IMAX theater, right? The movie ends. The movie was excellent. Okay? People start clapping, right? What do you call. What are you clapping for? You're clapping the screen. The actors not there, the directors aren't there. Nobody's there to hear you. Who are you clapping for now? Now that. Now, I thought about that and I was like, oh, it seems weird, but if I'm excited in a movie, I cheer, right? I go, fuck, yeah. Well, yeah, like. Like, for instance, the old Rocky movies, when they used to scream, right? Usa. Usa. Everyone in the theater screaming, usa. I'm like, well, that. Right? Stallone's not hearing you right now. But. But you're getting the. Like, when I saw Avengers Endgame, the whole place went ballistic. At the end of the. When? When on your left, if you know. Yeah, because, you know, you're exciting, you're excited. The movie. I don't know. I mean, I guess if everybody claps, I'll clap. Because, like, we all. We're all in it together. We all agreed it was awesome. Yes, but there's nobody involved with the project here. The clapping and the kid with the broom who's got to clean up your popcorn, he doesn't care. Right? The movie projector person, if there is one, they don't care. So it was just. It was weird to me because it was like this. I heard this. And then, like, someone was like, oh, I have permission. And then everybody. Yeah. So slice it. Do you clap at movies? Do you clap? I clap at a Broadway show. Slices. Do you clap for plane landings? I mean, I get it. If you've arrived at the motherland, let's say you're. Let's say you're Italian American, and then you've never been to Italy before, and you land in Rome, and you may want to clap because you're overjoyed because you're on the home soil. I don't know, but you can clap in your lap like this. Yes, yes, yes, yes. I'm so happy to be here. But do you imagine when the plane lands and you're the only one of your culture, let's say, and you're like, yeah.
