A lot of things. It's the birthday for Neighborhood Love founder, Els. He turns 29 today. Happy birthday. Wow, he's doing well for himself. He started at 29 for the first time, or has he turned 29 a number of times? Yeah, it's got to be more than once. I actually don't know how old he is. I know he's younger than me, but hey, who isn't? But happy birthday, Els. Happy birthday, man. Good job. He got married recently. Been in and out of the system, you know, when he was younger days. Came up like a phoenix rises from the ashes. Yes, yes. Turning it around. Success story. I'm not just butt kissing because he's my boss. No, for real, though, man. Happy birthday, Els. And he's got many, many other projects to conquer. That dude doesn't really sit down, so. Hemorrhoids. Just kidding. Keep grinding. Anyway, happy birthday, Els. Hey, what you hear behind us is Fat Freddy's drop out of New Zealand from the record Dr. Boondigga and the Big B.W. That's on their own label, the Drop label. The Camel is the name of the tune. And so. I'm going to stop trying to guess your band name here, Jeff. Yeah. But when do you expect new material, recorded material to be out there for the loved ones? That's what we're trying to figure out right now. We're in the process of how to get it to the world in the best way possible. Weeks? Months? Years? Probably months, I'm assuming. Yeah, not many months. We want to get this thing going, but we've got to make sure we do it the right way. We've got a lot of experience making music and we've made some mistakes over the years. And we don't want to repeat them. So we want to go about it properly. The music part, we're pretty much done with. Now we just have to get the business straight. Check out this band. They're coming out here July 30th. I'm going to get them on the show. They're called Your Mama's Big Fat Booty Band. I like it. Yeah. Check them out. The drums were real crazy, real heavy on it.
