So we had found out, and I was going into Vegas, and my whole family came out too. So we were flying to Vegas, and when I found out, and it was, it was really awesome. My whole family’s gonna be there. And I think I over celebrated a little bit for sure. We ended up, I think, I think we ended up canceling the show after that, like, a couple days later, they’re used to it out there, though, when I was talking to people, they’re like, Yeah, we call it the Vegas flu out here, because it happens to be more it’s completely understandable. It’s your first No.1, So maybe the next time I won’t be going too hard.
