What do you think? You don't want to be a Neil Diamond impersonator. You want to be a Neil Diamond interpreter. I was looking for the right way to say it and you just came right out and said it. Isn't it amazing what happened to this couple, you know, and their whole world? It just, it's, I think that's, I mean, it drew me to the story was reading it for the first time. And of course it said based on a true story. But you read it and you're like, there's no way all of this happened to a couple. And it sure did. And they are quite resilient. What? If you wrote it as fiction. Yeah, you'd be like, yeah, this is crazy. This is silly. I know. But I think that's part of the appeal of it. I was talking over you, sorry. Resilience. That's really, I think what got me, this couple and everybody in life knows this. Unfortunately, you sign up for life. You sign up to life-lifing and going left on you and it happens. And how we show up for each other and how we stick there and rescue each other, I think is what defines us. So you'd be lightning and I'd be thunder. Yeah. You will be honored with the Icon Award. Yes. At Palm Springs. I'm so excited. When did you realize you were an icon? I still, I still, I, I was, I, I look at my mom now at 80 years old and I can really understand the word icon, you know, all the things that she's done in her life, you know. But I don't know if I'll ever understand that as it pertains to me. I don't know if that's in my personality anyway, you know. I just feel so happy to be there and that people are loving the movie and, and, and my performance. That makes me feel really great. So, and then I get to go to Palm Springs and I love it. That is awesome. Congratulations. And I get to go and, yeah, I get to go, you know, be in the heat. You are iconic. I am. No, I'm going to keep saying it. You are. And that's why, that's why you're getting the award. And I know it's hard to accept. It is. It's a weird thing to accept. But I'll forget about you and you.
