Well, Dan, I think I can answer that question. The dollar store does not say how many dollars. It just says dollar store. As opposed to 99 cents only, which went out of business because your name is 99 cents only. So the moment when you get the things are 109, 129, 139, you kind of then have a false advertising.

Dan, I swear to God, this happened to me in real life. I worked for one of the teams I worked for. The general manager asked me what I wanted to be, and I was like, I just want to help the team win championship. And he said, no, no, no, everyone has their own motivation and stuff. He said, for me, example, I'm the general manager. I manage things generally.

And I looked at him and I said, are you serious? That was his definition of GM. What's a GM do? I manage things generally.

Yeah, you know, Dan, and I think the thing I thought of was that because obviously we only found out because Dwayne Wade talked about it on his podcast a year and a half or more later. And it reminded me of and I thought back to around the time he says this happened, 2023. Did I notice that Dwayne Wade was kind of conspicuously absent or low key? And I'm like, I don't have any memories of.

But then it made me think of Chadwick Boseman, who we didn't know was fighting cancer that whole time up until he passed away. And I said, oh, he had cancer? He had aggressive cancer, apparently. But we didn't know. We just thought he was just over the whole Wakanda Forever thing in all those photos he took with fans and stuff like that.

And in reality, no, he's exhausted because of cancer treatments. And that was the thing that really... kind of got me thinking, like, wait a second, Dwayne Wade's been walking around making appearances, TV, as owner of the Utah Jazz, all those things, and we just didn't know that whole time he was dealing with this.

I mean, that's some real strenuous work conditions. I'm working while I'm trying to be careful.

You know, the crazy one about that, Andrew, is we get a lot in the NBA where guys, because they are large human beings, their heart just gives out. And everyone always seems to think, oh, it's a retired guy. You know, you probably let yourself go. And I'm talking like Sean Rooks is the name that always comes to mind. Sean Rooks was a dude that didn't eat well. He cleaned, right? He didn't smoke.

He didn't drink. Exercise all the time, right? And he was on a coaching staff, which means every year, you know what happens. The first day of training camp, what do we do? We all do physicals, right? Everybody, staff, players, everything. So this is someone not only doing all the right things as far as how to live a healthy lifestyle. Mm-hmm.

But was getting the checks and balances on at least a yearly basis, regularly. And then it's just like that. And that's the stuff that it's kind of humbling when you think of just the mortality of it. Man, there ain't no control we have over any of this stuff, man. Sure, we can do certain things, but you don't control it. You're just trying to mitigate risk is what you're doing.
