I was thinking about this during our episode last week, how when we're talking about the AI, is it a bubble, is it not a bubble, will it pop, won't it pop? And we're we're giving, we're providing nuance because markets aren't black and white. Of course, I don't know, you don't know, nobody can see the future.

But I was thinking about it from the point of view of the audience. And I think the audience must absolutely hate it because if you're listening to somebody talk about a basketball game, a football game, and they're talking about it like beforehand. Well, on the one hand, like Daniel Jones is playing really well, but on the other hand, this defense, blah, blah, blah who stop. Just who's gonna win? I want to know who's gonna win.
