A Normal Life w/ Julia Roberts

teach me? Why are you? In my mind, I want to be the person who has cancer and doesn't run a marathon, Like, do I have to work that hard? No, it's the best excuse not to run a marathon. Welcome to go, Ask Allie. I'm Allie Wentworth and my guest

today is Julia Roberts. I don't need any more of an introduction except to tell you that if you're ever greeted at the door by Julia Roberts, she'll probably be in bare feet and geane cut offs, with her hair up very Aaron BROCKOVICI, She's probably made some banana bread and before you know it, you are curled up on the couch laughing your ass off playing some kind of a board game, maybe with a little Coca Cola and Johnny Walker. She's the warmest, coziest, funniest, smartest woman ever.

Hy Annie, Hey, you know I was. I was in this little upholstery store today, like a little hole in the wall, and I was looking at fabrics, as one would be, yea, And I was looking at fabrics because I wanted to reduce some chairs. And I was like, you know what, Julia, she'd be game for this. She'd be all over this fabric. Why am I here alone? Why are you there alone? It's an impossible task to do alone. I think I agree. But if you were there, we would I would have been like, what do you

think of the blue stripe? What do you think of the green? And you would tell me get it? Tell me about your day. What was your day? What was my day? You know what? My day had a nice kickoff because we are at a moment of the school year where it was brought to my attention at dinner last night with my children that sophomores and seniors, which is what we are on Tuesdays, go to school a half an hour later. What it's like, I am all in on this. Yeah, that's a fantastic role. It's so great.

And I also love that some clever person had the forethought to make it sophomores and seniors, and on Thursdays it's freshman and juniors, so that clearly siblings. Mom doesn't have to get up and go early and then go again late. So good it all is. And so yes, you have a child who's a sophomore, but we both have seniors who are going to leave the nest we do. Yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm not. I'm not good with it. I'm

really not. I keep telling Harper that it's her job as the younger daughter to stay home and care for aging parents and never marry. That's what spinsters are supposed to do. Have fun for her. She's she said, sign me up. But it's it's daunting. I feel like your kids were just babies, you know. It's nice though. I feel like, in an interesting way, in this moment, all five of us or yeah, I'll include Henry, and that all five of us kind of feel the same way

right now. We're all equal parts like excited and kind of overwhelmed with the amount of stuff that has to be accomplished and trying to savor every moment of now. Yeah, and it's so nice that we're kind of all feeling the same way. It's great. God, it just must got you. When they walk out the door, I can't, I cannot even. I mean, poor Henry is going to have Danny and I just sit and just like, Hi, Hi, what you doing? What do you want to do? Let me tell you something.

Elliott left and both George and I cried and I had a big mac. And then since she's gone, that's what we do with Harper. We sit across her table for her and we go, so tell us about your boyfriend, So tell us what what do you think about? And she just goes, no, we're not doing this. No, because she's my quieter one. She keeps her cards close to her chest so she's not cracking. So. But one are the interesting things, and I think about it a lot with both of us, is we have very good marriages.

We are lucky enough that we still are very attracted to our husbands. And I think that's a great thing as an empty nester, because George and I have lots of plants. Well, listen, I have said so many times in the past few weeks. I cannot imagine what people are feeling that don't want to make out anymore or even be in the same room anymore, and then the people that bring them into the same room are leaving. Yeah, what can you imagine? No, I mean, and you have

to it's got to be like a slow crash. You know it's coming. What you know, you just you wasted the last twenty years not talking to each other, you know, and then you're just sitting there with TV trays, going, oh my god, now what Well, there's nothing wrong with a good night with a TV tray, but yes, but not every night. Yes, but but you know, so that's that is a positive. That's how I look at it.

That is a us. Yes, that is a plus that we're still we're still making out and now we can make out without everybody saying you grow stop it or your all of a sudden, you look at your phone, there's a text, I'm still in the house. Uh huh, oh, well, you're obviously louder than we are. But so when I started, you know, tonight, when I was getting you know, my lemonade and setting up my computer, you know what I thought, I thought, I don't know you as movie star Julia

Roberts at all. I don't know you like that. I know you as my friend in gene Shorts who just wants to shoot the ship and talk about life. And so when I first sat down to do this podcast with you, I thought, there's so many things I can't say or talk about with you because it's being fucking recorded. Well that isn't that the weird thing about doing any kind of work thing with a friend. I mean, yeah,

it's bizarre. It's truly bizarre, because even when I was looking at, you know, a bunch of things to talk about, I was just like, it doesn't seem natural for me to say, Like, so when you were doing America's Sweethearts, did you you know, I'm like, screw that. I'm going to talk to my friend, which is a much more interesting conversation. Um, and and one of the things I do I'll start with because I do want to talk about Ticket to Paradise. Ticket to Paradise start because you're

about to do your big press tour with that. First of all, thank you for making a movie like Ticket to Paradise right at this time when COVID is still rearing its ugly head, and the world seems to be on fire, and I'm crying about female reproduction rights every five minutes, and I got to sit back and be carried away in a like old school, great Hollywood romantic comedy.

So thank you for that. It's what Origin and I wanted to do, is we wanted two just give everybody a break, give ourselves a break, you know, make a movie that we were wanting to see, Try to make people laugh, try to make people just sit and smile and really just feel good. Right. Yeah, yeah, It's just the simplest, the simplest thing. Just you just want people to go have a nice time and not be stressing about all that there is to stress about, of which

there is a lot. But also, after Martha Mitchell, this must have been just kick your fucking heels up, after crazy Martha Gosh, after being slapped around by shot slapped around, And also, I mean that was such a you know, I mean, put aside all the emotional content and the physical content and the you know, everything that I had to emulate in order to be her, there was also the pages and pages and pages and pages of dialogue to learn every day, and yeah, you know, there we

were kind of you know, running our lives and and having these huge amounts of homework to do every night, and then I go off to Australia by myself. I have nothing but time on my hands, and I have you know, six lines like what what? And then the next day I have you know, ten lines or what.

But it just was like I kept waiting for, oh, where, where's the scene where I'm really going to be up all night, you know, trying to get that in there, and it just it was all it just all had a simple flow and and uh, you know, of course being with George is is uh, you know, you guys just joke around. I mean, come on, it's just you guys turned into two little dirty toddlers together and you just prank each other and joke each other and have the best time, right we we do. We have such

a good time. We love making each other laugh. We love to play games, We love to sing songs. We would sit there waiting for, you know, the monsoon rains to pass and just be singing songs at the top of our lungs um and you know, just like truly carrying on. We just carry on. That's what we do. We carry on um, yes, I you can see that

right away with the witty banter. But also, by the way, you know what the best part of the movie is, And I mean, I don't know if I'm gonna get in trouble from whoever made the movie or get blacklisted when George passes away at the very end. That part, yep, that I just I didn't see it coming. It is surprising, is um No, when you guys play beer pong and dance. I could watch ninety minutes of that. And by the way, you were truly having a good time. I can tell

when you were having fun. We had so much fun. And I will say this, it was so hot. We were sweating. Um we were not holding back. We had our co actors, all the youngsters there were just like the first take because basically all our director was like, here's the space, stay in it. This is where I can see you, and just don't hurt yourselves or anyone around you. That was pretty much, you know, all that we had to do and anything else we could just

and just the first take. You should have seen these kids. They were just like they couldn't believe their eyes, They couldn't believe what they were saying they were like, and it was hysterical, and George and I were this is where the the alchemy of friendship. We were feeding off each other. We were making each other laugh. I am so proud of how absolutely drunk we seem in that scene.

We were stone cold, sober, we were hot and sweaty and like my hair was sticking to my neck, like all the things that I don't like, and we look like we're having the best time because we were just sort of like egging each other on and and it was. It was hysterical. It was so fun. It was so fun. We probably could have done it for hours and hours, but you know, they were like, okay, stop, we've had enough.

You need to stop now. It was I was. I watched it with George, and George goes, she's drunk, she's drunk, I got I don't know. I don't think she needs to be drunk to be having fun with Clooney. I think that she's actually just having a good time. And we also were trying to like out with each other with you know, what line we could say this time for this or what joke could be here? What you know?

I don't know. We just We're constantly trying to to raise the bar and to make everybody around us laugh, and you know, that's pretty much our life goal. But he did it perfectly. There's a lot more to come after the short break and we're back with more. Go ask Gali, did I ever tell you my George Clooney story. Oh, I'm going to tell it to you. I think he is the kindest, nicest, funny. I think he's just such

a great guy. And George knows him. My George and we were living in d C. And I had lunch with these like mean girl moms because my kids had just started school. They were like the intimidating moms with the head bands and the broken bags. And I had like bell bottom jeans on and a turtleneck and I was like, oh god. And we were sitting at the Four Seasons in Georgetown having lunch and they were like, well, are you going to participate in the auction and blah

blah blah. And I thought, Oh my god, they're gonna they're gonna just eat me up. These women are gonna just I'm They're like pit bulls on a tiny baby, little chihuahua. And he walked in George Clooney walked in. He was doing press for something and he walked by and I said, hey, George, and he said, hey, Ali, how's it going. I said good? And the women were, you know, their eyes were falling out of their heads. And he said, how's George. I said good. He goes, hey,

let's make him jealous. Get out your phone and gave me a big old kiss while he took my phone and took the picture. So not only did I make my George jealous, but those women worship the ground I walked on for a year. I bet, oh, that's good. But what kind of a guy? Come on? You couldn't have written it better? I know, I know, And I went, I will love George Clooney. What the day. On my death bed, I will say I love George Coney and I love Julia Roberts. That's what I'm going to say

on my death bed. And George is your George is gonna be like hello over here, anyone I'm gonna say, I said, George, you don't know what I mean. So you you cat, you leave Martha Mitchell and you go to Australia and you are quarantined for a long time because I texted you and I thought about you a lot, and I thought, how is she feeling without her family in a house in Australia right now? So that part

isn't wasn't fun, was it? And I actually read somewhere I love like I read somewhere about you that uh that Amal and George were like family, like you guys all got to kind of be together. Yes. Well, during the quarantine we were all in Sydney and they were very far away from where I was. Um. And it was when we were freed and sent to uh Hamilton's Island, this beautiful little island that we were on for like five or six weeks filming that on this island, their

house was just sort of just above my house. And so if I were in my yard, say, for example, and I called up to their house, maybe they could hear me. Did you throw things out their window? Um? No? But I often was like breakfast ready, I love that. And their kids were there too, yes, And you know, I have to say, there was a lot of of

mental preparation that went into being away. I didn't realize that COVID in Australia was quite so complex X and it kept my family away longer than I could have anticipated, which is probably good because maybe if I had known how long we would be a part I, I probably wouldn't have done it. I wouldn't have had the guts. I wouldn't have thought that. You know, especially when you're doing something that's joyful and that is like you're trying to make this this planet of of fun. You know,

you don't want to just be bummed out. I mean, that's not how I work anyway. And um, and I think that that my family was so great about it, and I kind of just mentally had myself so prepared for it that I did better than I expected with the time away because I've never I've never been away from Danny that long, but I'd certainly never been away from the kids that long. And um, how many scarves did you knit? I? What did I knit? Over there?

I did knit some things, but you know, it was really really hot, and so there just comes a point where you're like, yeah, it's all kind of disintegrating in your hands. Um, I've read a lot of books. Uh, but the quarantine was hard. Yeah, of course it was. It just mentally it's it's weird. And I had uh, I realized like months and months later, I don't I

don't know. Danny and I were talking to somebody and something about, you know, like, you know, getting older, and I said, well, listen as a fifty three year old woman with three kids, blah blah blah. And he said to me later, he goes, you know, sweetheart, maybe the I mean, you do what you want, but this is like, is this what we're doing now? You're fifty three? And I go, yeah, what are you talking about? Yeah, this is fifty three years old. What we're talking about bees well,

because you're fifty four. And I go, and you know what, I think it's because I had my birthday in quarantine that it didn't That's what it is. Stick because I've never been weird about my age. And he was like, can we just can we just check in on this, just you and me, like is this what we're going to say now? And I was like, what are you talking about? But I really think because my birthday was in quarantine and I love to celebrate my birthday and it's always so fun and friends and food, and I

think it didn't happen. So I had to like really force myself it doesn't count. It doesn't count. Danny, you're fifty three. I'm pretty sure I'm fifty four all right, soon to be. So let me ask you a question. I I look at you, and I I mean, you're you're beautiful, but you're so you're beautiful because you're so natural and you know who you are, and that's what I love about you. And when I look back at your career, which I did this afternoon, I thought, how

is she? How is she this cool, grounded woman that makes banana bread for me and plays Mexican train and has these amazing kids in this solid marriage. Why isn't she in rehab? Like? Why are you okay that the fame you had when you were young was extraordinary? Well?

What do you attribute that to your your family? Your well? Listen, I think, not that I ever want to give all credit away, but I for sure think that meeting Danny when I did, the two of us having the relationship that we have, that we understand each other so well, that we are so in sync. There's just no other way I want to live my life. Then right next to this person, um and our priorities are compasses are just they're so aligned. I mean who who knew that

this person was there? And I think that so the really the truly grown up part of my life is I think a testament to to that, to to finding each other when we did, and and and just the good fortune of really finding your person. You know, it's like you find your person, and then all these things just are like sparks that come from that. You're not

even driving the bus anymore. It's all just stardust. And then before that, I think it's I just think that for whatever reason, I never felt truly um, it was missed. My work wasn't ever really my identity. And I also think I was really lucky that, you know, kind of the way that my career went had what there was like a linear progression to it. You could sort of chart the syntax of one movie to the next, or this getting to be more of something, or this getting

to be more of something. Now it just seems like people are just like like, yeah, you don't know who someone is, and then the next day there they're the only person on the planet Earth who who has talent. You know, the trajectory is so steep now, um, but the longevity isn't. Yeah, well that's the only difference. Yeah, it's interesting though, I don't know. I just somebody was asking me the other day something about like, you know,

how do you have a normal life? And I you know, and I think, well, how do you not have a normal life? You know, I can sit here all day and say, can I get a cappuccino? Um, and maybe a cookie? Mm hmm. Let's see, that's so funny because I know you with a normal life. I can't imagine the other life, you know what I mean, Like I understand the person that's calling out for the cookie and isn't going to get one, not the other person, you know what I mean, Like that's on a set. There

are My needs are a little bit more. Um, I'm sure there there are people who who I'm sure take a real interest in that afternoon need for coffee. Yes, and I appreciate them, of course you do. But again, the person I know is um would be making cookies for everybody else. And it's funny what you say about Danny, because I so understand that, and I think that I wasn't anchored in a way that I was when I met George, And by the way, talk about he was the last person I thought that that was going to

be my person. If you had said to me before I met him, Oh, you're gonna George Stephanopolis is your person, I would have fallen off my chair laughing. But but it's amazing when you meet somebody and all the important things are there, like the really like deep funded like we can walk into a house together and both go yep, this is the house, or you know, those kind of big decisions that are you know, almost not not able to verbalize. We go yep, that's it. That's it, with

the kids, with everything. And so I do understand that completely. And I used to think certainly at the beginning of our marriage. I was like, oh, you know you're you're the anchor. You're the anchor. I don't what do I do? And George said, um, I never felt joy until I met you. And I was like, all right, I'll take that. What I'll take that. I know so loving um. And I always imagine like you and Danny the kids in

some western e kind of acres of land. I mean, I just frolicking, frolicking around, um, although I know that's not true because we have older than children or frolics. Sometimes there's some frolicking. Sometimes at the holidays, there's frolick ing. So would you and you of course cook on the holidays, Yes, I know you do. I always feel like, I mean, I'm not as good a cook as you, and I don't think I I am as advanced to cook as you.

I would like to take some cooking lessons. Um. But I do enjoy it when it's not you know, that relentless, like on top of you kind of cooking where you just feel like you've just cleaned up from something and now you're supposed to figure out what the next meal is. Um. And I know a lot of moms, a lot of caregivers. It's just like the constant pursuit of nutrition and feeding

people and it can get tiring. Um. But for the holidays, I just feel like when you have days on end to just be cooking and no one's expecting you to be able to do anything else, but you're in the kitchen and it's just so fun. I think it's so great and it brings me a lot of joy. It is fun. So who who's cooking at night, like on a Tuesday night and the kids are doing homework? Do

you and Danny switch off? Do you do take out? Um, Well, we used to cook all the time, and now we'll do a combination of I mean, he's a great cook and he cooks a lot too. Um And right now he's away working, so I'm doing all the cooking, or we will get take out. Because also there's sometimes it's like,

you know, Henry's at soccer practice right now. He'll be home in a little bit vincive soccer practice till late, but then he has a college counseling meeting, and so it just kind of becomes like, kind of cook something that can just sit here, or should we just order something once everybody's done, or so it's kind of like it's a little bit of a house and a little bit of a dorm. Sometimes. Yeah, there's a big difference

between three kids and two. I've noticed there's a big difference between when the five of us are here and my uh cuisine motivation and when it's just me and the kids. I realize I really do a lot of things to try to impress Danny Motor, even if it's just making a particularly delicious salad to go with dinner. Like with the kids, I might just make dinner. Yeah, with Danny, I might make dinner and a salad and

a dessert. And I realized that when he's away, I'm like, oh, it's so sweet to do a lot of stuff trying to get his attention. Yeah, that's cute. I think you have his attention. I don't think you have to make an extra salad for Danny. I think you have it. You never know. I think you have it. Yeah, okay, I think you're And so you guys, uh, because I keep forgetting were on a podcast, you guys switch off. So if Danny's working your home, if you're working, he's

there's always a parental figure in the house. Yes, yes, which is great. Yeah, they always have a parent Yeah. And there's no by the way I can say this, there's no um assistance. There's nobody else in that house except you and Danny and kids, is there not? Can I get a cappuccino and a cookie? You're not gonna get it? Excuse me? Hello? No, No, I'm not getting it. Not getting it. We're gonna take a short break and we'll be right back. Welcome back. So are you worried

about getting older at all? Like you seem very comfortable and everything that is you you don't. I mean, I'm not worried, but it would be nice if they would give you a little heads up on some of it. Right, Maybe we should write a book Ali, Yes, menopause with Julian Ali Like, no judgment, it's cool, okay, but just maybe a little heads up or just a little like here's what you could do too, Maybe just pull that

a bay. I'll say this. Someone said something I thought it was really great to me one time, which was, you know, every day you're getting older, period, right, So if you're not doing something, one thing something every day to try to create a balance to that, it's just gonna take over, you know, whether you know you mean your face or your heart or your ability to touch your toes or whatever it is. So you know, you wear some block, you do yoga, you walk five miles,

whatever it is like, just to create the balance. And I think that that's for me, that's a good way to look at it where I'm not trying to you know, I don't wish that I looked like I did when I was thirty five, because that's foolish. But I want to, you know, do something. Yeah, no, I listen, I I didn't know I had any ego about that until the past few years and I went and again for me, it was about George, Like I was like, oh, I still want to, yeah, you know, beat sexy for my husband.

But also I'm also like, oh, I guess sexy sexy is over, and I'm it's big straw hats and growing tomatoes now. But but I want to. But also it's like you're I think about death, my mortality, you know what I mean. Like it's not about like how do I keep my tits up? It's like, well, I don't want to have any COURTI or vascular disease, you know what I mean, Like you start thinking about your health in a completely different way. When I got my first double a r P card in a mail I did

take to my bed. They send those early, I think just to funk with you. They send him early. They sucked with me, and it really they sucked turns me against them. If it came on time, you know, a little after your fifty, that would be totally acceptable. But it comes when you're like forty nine and a half and I feel like, fuck you. Yeah. I remember being on the cover of a magazine. So my birthday is in October and I was on the cover of a magazine and it was summer. It was a summer issue,

like June or July. And it in big letters on the cover of this magazine. As I pass it on the news stand in New York, say, Julia turns forty, And I thought in October not. It's like the a RP card. It's like, what are you talking about? It's summer? How dare they? Julia turns forty? Not yet? How dare they? Yeah? All right, So now we come to because you've got soccer pick up, we come to the point where I've been asking you a lot of questions. This is go ask Ali. So now it is your opportunity to ask

me a question. Well, I have a couple. Oh god, Well, I mean I just think. So there's the classic question that's part of the you know, the James Lipton when he does the you know the questions at the end of the Actor's Studio. And one of them, which I think is a great question, and this is the famous what is it prous questionnaire? Um, what is your favorite curse word? It's a great question. It is a great question.

Fuck fox a good one. It's just solid fuck. It's just solid, and it is the thing that comes out of my mouth when I dropped something on my foot or when I read something that's a surprised to myself. Ship has a sort of darker me, like ship is always something bad. Fuck is not always something bad? Oh yeah yeah. So for instance, if George said, oh my god, Julie's at the door, I'd go, fuck, Yeah, that's not that. That's a happy fuck. So yes, fuck. Okay. What's your

least favorite word and that you're such chice? Yes, moist. I hate that word. Hazel hates it too moist. It makes me cringe. Wow, nothing's good moist. Yeah, tell Hazel like the I agree. Um. What are your favorite say? Books to read? Oh? Um, biographies? Okay. Danny and I were just standing in a bookstore two days ago, this great bookstore in d C. This cute little book story. Go in there, and this guy comes up to us, and as soon as we walk in, you just see

there's just great books everywhere. Right. We were like kids in a candy store. We were so excited. And I wasn't there to buy a book because I just started a really great book that I'm in love with, and I don't want to. You know, I read one book at a time, and um, so we were looking for a book for Danny, and the guy goes, yeah, I have a look around down here. It's great. It's but you know, you go upstairs is bananas. Let's get up there where it's bananas. And he was right. There were

great books absolutely everywhere. And at one point I stood in front of the biography section and I said to my husband, I just don't read biographies. Really, Oh, I love and I would think that I yeah, I would think you would. Yeah, yeah, I love fiction. I love it. I love fiction because it's like a magic trick. Would you ever write a book, it would be I would be so full of myself. I would be so puffed up. My head would get so big. I would think I was everything and a bag of chips. If I ever

wrote a book, I'd be impossible. Really, I think you. I think you'd do a great job with a book. I would be I would think I was masterful. I just think it's such you take a blank piece of paper. I mean, I don't know how you do it. You could how many books have you written? Four? Five? Yes? Five? You could do it. You just some coke and Johnny Walker and some peanuts. You sit down, you figure out where chrome is on your computer, and you just start.

I think you could. I think you could think about it. But it doesn't it doesn't have to be a memoir. You can write something else. Well, that's I mean, I just I think it's so magical the way people sit down and just create a whole universe for us, a whole they just it's just incredible. It's incredible. It's hard. It's hard. I'm sure it's hard. It looks hard. But your voice, like in a book, would be even if you if even if you wrote about your childhood or anything,

because you have such great sayings all the time. I love your sayings. I'll I love that. If I'm with you and something happens, you go, well that's one for the books, And I go, God, that's such a good saying. I mean, you could, I would love it. I think I'm gonna I'm gonna make you write a book. Maybe that'll be my empty nest uh project. You're gonna be working so hard all the time when you're an empty nester, you're not gonna have time to write a book. I'm

gonna have to be your ghostwriter. Yes, aren't the four of us going to be traveling the world and like working on our Well, that's Hans and Ore. That's my dream. You know what else is my dream? You're gonna teach me how to play Marson. I'm gonna teach you how to say it, and I'm gonna teach you how to play Okay, how do you say it? Mangong? You teach how to play masong? I really want to learn how to play it. And it looks so it's so fun gary and daunting. It's so fun. Now, do you have

a group in this area that you play with? You know? I've just just got invited. Actually it was really sweet. A few weeks ago I got invited by um, a mom at our school who is her son is on the same soccer team as Finn, and she's very nice and she uh. Danny had been over at their house and as he was leaving, he was like, what you have a Magen card? What you play? My wife plays? And so she texted me one day and said, hey, I'm playing Majeng with some friends and uh and we

need a fourth would you like to play? And I just answered her immediately, I was like sure, and I just put the phone away because I just thought, I'm gonna be so nervous. I'm gonna you know, I haven't played in so long and I and I didn't know the other people that were going to be playing. And my kids were so sweet because I was really nervous, and they were like, you've got this, mom. Oh, it's gonna be great. You're gonna be great, you know, And I mean, it's making friends as a grown up. It's

a sorry, it's a funny deal. And I had such a delightful time and everybody was really nice and it was great to play. And I've played with a version of those ladies one other time, and yeah, but it is it's a game to learn on a trip, So we should go on a trip because it's something that when you play it day after day, then you really get it. And here's my next question. When you go and play with people you don't know, I imagine it's kind of an intimate game, meaning you're playing it for

a long time, so you do chit chat? Do you talk about your lives while you're while each person is doing their turn, you talk a little bit, But it is you do have to pay attention, okay, Um, and

we talked. One of the women was new to the game, and so there was a lot of instructional talking and a lot of talk about strategy or you know why some people do this don't do that, And so you're really immersed in the game when you're playing, Yes, until it's like your regular group that you play with every Tuesday, which is what I used to do. And then you're you know, catching up and just b ssing and and having a big time and playing. Okay, got it. That's

how I imagine it. That's how it's going to be for us. I just have to learn how to play majeng right John, Um, all right, go pick up fan at soccer. I love you. I love you too, and um we'll talk soon.
