Got to get it on the choice but to get it on the mandate you get it on. Thanks to it in. Thanks, Stone Friend. Love that about you. Andy Richter in the studio. Andy's got a book elf unwrap behind the scenes of a modern Christmas classic. It's out November 3rd but you should go to elfunwrapped.com and order it. You pre-order it and then it shows up the day it comes out. Yes, and at a discount. You get a discount. It's all good and if you did it today, you'd probably forget about it because a lot of you are high. And then all of a sudden, Andy's elf book would show up and you'd go, what the fuck? And then you'd go like a Christmas present to yourself. Christmas present to yourself. Andy Richter going, just a guy who's just a field ubiquitous. Just bit around. Just show business. You're there. Like a mole. Just never going away. You don't really notice. Lasered off years ago but still there. Just living with it. Yeah, yeah. But at a certain point like Cindy Crawford appreciated. Thank you. But we're not there yet. Okay. I'll give it a few more years. A couple more decades. Andy starts off Improv Olympics in Chicago. That's right. Are the Improv Olympics still going on? Yeah. Except now they have to call it the IO because the actual Olympics sued them. The actual Olympics gave a shit enough. And then for a while they were Improv Olympia, I think, but I think that still wasn't good enough. All I remember is so I grew up out here. I was a groundlings guy and then it went and started the Acme Theater. Me and five other people started the Acme. And they're just cast offs from the groundlings. Sure. Everyone, everyone got cut from the groundlings just ended up doing Acme.
