Do you think that Bill ever said to his wife, you know, you just took 40% off our total income forever? Now, I don't know if that's actually the case, but it's never really a good idea to insult 40% of the people who would go to your shows, which is what happened.

Now, here's how I took it. You might have taken it as, hey, this is a political statement. It's a political world. You know, would I be concerned if somebody made a political statement about somebody? No, it wouldn't make me not go to the show. I mean, I watch Bill Maher, and I know he doesn't like President Trump. Doesn't bother me a bit because, you know what, I also think I don't think that Bill Maher would hate me personally. Like, it doesn't feel personal when he talks about it. It feels like it's political. It's not about the individuals, although, you know, some individual voters he might not love. But somehow my impression of this was that giving the finger to Trump in public feels like maybe I wouldn't be welcome in their home either. Anybody have that feeling? That if you ever had voted for Trump, for example, oh, here's a couple who would never invite me to dinner. Like even if I worked with them, you know, even if we were friends, I don't think I would ever be invited to their house. And so I said to myself, huh, I feel like that was personal. Like even though it was about Trump, I don't know that it really is. And again, there's no logic to this. I'm just telling you how it felt. So that was my just feeling.

Now, so I did this post about it on X, and I went to check the traffic on it today because it keeps popping up. And 6.4 million views. Now, for context, I rarely get that many views on any kind of a post, and that's a monster kind of a view, which would suggest that other people felt it the same way I did. That it was more about his supporters maybe than him, or at least that it was equally about them. So we'll see if that has any impact on his career. Probably not, 'cause he's so popular. But it was interesting that so many people might have had the same feeling. That's just a guess.

Well, there is an update on my experience trying to create an app called a GPT with AI. I'll say again, the interface for creating the app, you just talk to it and you tell it what you want it to do. It's the most wildly awesome experience if you've ever programmed anything. So in my younger days I did a lot of programming, wrote a lot of code. Many of you don't know that. And I actually loved it. Actually, if cartooning hadn't worked out, I would have loved being a programmer, 'cause the time went really quick. You know, it was very engaging. Yeah, I would be completely just sucked into the world of the program. It was like living inside a pinball machine. That's how I described it. I loved it. But this new experience of just talking an app into existence is like really actually thrilling. I don't know if I can quite express the feeling of talking an app into existence. It's wild because you watch it happen whi
