Hey, it's Jesse. I just wanted to thank everyone who has reached out to us about the fires here in Los Angeles. And I also wanted to reassure everyone that Jennifer and Daniel and I are entirely safe. None of us have evacuated. Everyone else at max fund is also safe. We have had some

If you want to give some money to support the recovery efforts, one good place to give is

and his wife, Cynthia, in the show notes.

Okay.

Enjoy the show.
