Well, did you see Debbie Gibson?

Deborah Gibson, as she likes to be called, but I did not.

She rode a bike?

And it's called Spandex or something.

Yeah, like, is it sure it's not the Spandau Ballet? Is it

Debbie Gibson? Maybe I got the wrong...

You got the wrong...

But, yeah, we went to Tokyo.

We went all over the U.S. We were on the Debbie Gibson Electric Youth Tour.

Oh, wow.

Wow.

That's cool.

Oh, my gosh.

We opened up for Debbie Gibson.

Became friends with all that whole crew.

uh as you know growing up just like everyone lies like to be cool or whatever which i think is very relevant for social media because i think a lot of most of social media is lying to be cool however uh sorry a little mean sorry uh but uh i he talked about how he was a uh told people he was a black belt a classic lie you know like he wasn't uh and then i talked about how When I was on the playground when I was eight years old in the 80s, I told a group of kids that I wanted to like me.

I told them that Debbie Gibson, the singer from the 80s that most people listening to this may or may not remember.

If you're younger than me, you probably don't.

I told this group of kids I'd never met that that was my sister.

And that video got posted and this morning when I woke up, someone had sent me a screenshot of the eighties pop icon, the actual Debbie Gibson who said, and wait for it because it, it melted my heart and, and it was the most validating thing that could have happened.

So glad I lied about that.

She.

The actual Debbie Gibson commented on that video and said, I can be your adopted sister.

We've extended now that we're, you know, we've got a float in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade that is was extremely well received last year in its first year.

Debbie Gibson was the talent last year.

So we'll be in that for another two years for sure.

And more fun to come with.

63 years old.

Like Debbie Gibson could say the same thing.

You don't recognize my music? Ask your mom.

Ask your dad who I am.

It's a good lesson to learn.

But I also remember, you know, seeing Debbie Gibson once backstage during the height of her career.

She was writing thank you notes to every DJ in the country that played her songs and personalizing them all.

And, you know, it goes such a long way.
