Now, that being said, I cannot go anywhere without somebody asking me, who's the coolest, like, rock star or pop star or celebrity you ever hung out with? And I don't have one answer.

You know, you can go to Comic Palooza or Comic-Con or something and, you know, pay 20 bucks and get your photograph with, you know, an actor or performer or whatever.

And I can say right up front, I'm not friends with any celebrities, nor do I know any celebrity personally.

Now, I have been blessed to really interview some amazing people throughout the years.

I really just, I love doing interviews because it's fun to facilitate a discussion, to really drag things out of people that they've not shared before.

And I get it, like, when celebrities come onto a show, you know, they always have an agenda.

They're trying to sell whatever their latest release is or their newest movie or TV show or whatever.

And when we were kids, we had three channels and we had an old beat up TV in the basement that we watched where the knob was so worn out, we had to use a pair of vice grips to turn the channel.

But one of the things when I was a kid, That's how my love of Star Trek began because it just was nothing else on and I just fell in love with that show and you know It's it's so cool that this kid from this tiny little town out in the country in Pennsylvania Actually appeared on an episode of Star Trek.

So it was it was really fun It was when the show Star Trek Enterprise was on it was in season four of the show and And it was called Cold Station 12.

But if you look for a millisecond, you'll see me in that episode where I'm a denobulan.
