[Laughter] Yo, yo, this show is so incredible. This show is just it's beyond it's beyond laughable, man. All right, everybody.
That is the end to episode 9, season 7 of Kirby Enthusiasm. This show is just brilliant, man. Like, the writing is just so damn good. Even when it goes a little bit above its run time, it doesn't feel padded out in in the worst way. It it feels like it just gets sharper and sharper. My goodness. The after that beginning scene where he learns about what happened to this girl and just the onslaught that he just gives to other people with that information. It's just so funny. And everything else in between. Incredible, man. That whole thing with Kramer, brilliantly done. This was just such a great episode. I'm excited to get into the next one. So again, if you're on the Patreon, I'll see you all in a couple of seconds. But for everybody else, I'll see you all next week. So don't trip.
Stay healthy. Stay hydrated because we are just getting started.
