We've got a great show for you tonight. Thanks, everybody, for being here. We've got our audience of one. I'm ripping off a man named Alan Havey from the olden days of Comedy Central. You guys know that reference at all? Maybe not. No. Okay. You don't. That's okay. That's okay because we've got lots of stuff going on tonight. Our guest tonight is Jason… I'm hopefully, I'm saying your name right. Oh, good. It's almost like half with an L, but it's without the L. It's just half. The L is silent and missing. Totally. Yeah.
