Oh, yeah.

Yeah.

You could be sued for libel or for, you know, ruining a reputation.

So if we always add that alleged or allegedly, then we're protecting ourselves and sharing like this has not been proven.

allegedly i'm not sure yet i use this a lot if someone says like oh mike said he'll for sure be on time i'll say like allegedly kind of a way of saying like we'll see i'll believe it when i see it that's funny that's really funny okay um guys we're going to go through the rest of these after the break
