I mean, but after five days of doing that when you haven't really slept. And I don't sleep well when I'm traveling. I don't sleep well in strange places and in hotel rooms. I left Seattle at 4.30 this morning.

Yeah. So I'm not at all suggesting that I don't like meeting my fans because I actually do. But no, it's.

But I think it depends on the context, though. I think for me, it's a way of saying it is a problem. Yes. But I kind of like that I have the problem.

Which is to say that I kind of like that people are interested in the book. Yeah. Right? If they weren't, I would not be traveling for the book. So... But I don't think, well... Yeah, but I think when you say a good problem, you're already saying the problem part, no? I think if somebody said that to me, I would not take it well. Okay, there you go.

You do not get to decide for me what my good problem is. Oh, no, no, then we're on the same page. Okay, no, no, no.
