I don't want that one to be clipped. It's like, well, Austin shares this. I was like, oh, God, come on, man.

That's all I'm saying, man. Hey, you're not wrong with saying that. You're not wrong with saying that. I think that's appropriate. Yeah, absolutely it would. But regardless, obviously, I don't want to hear the word. I'm sorry. However, yes, if that was the scenario looking back, that year would be a pretty dang good year.

Well, yeah, I'll definitely tell you this. Like it's definitely, it's definitely special. And you know, I, I definitely recognize this and I'm in year eight right now. So my career is, It's already been long if you look at the statistics. So as long as I continue to feel good and I'm able to contribute, this is exactly where I'll be and continue to live this life.

Because I understand it's definitely special being in this moment, especially on this new team. And when you're winning, it definitely changes your mindset. Because we're human too. We feel the emotional toll of going through the ups and downs of seasons. And it's it's just like really everything else out in life with your job is going through it up.

You're probably feeling great if you're going through down. Same thing for us. But I think it's a little bit more public. So it's even harder from that standpoint of making a decision, because I know like you'll see like some narratives are like, oh, if this person is going to continue to play.

I think it was like Cooper Cup is like coming up on his contract and some other guys is like, well, we got to decide if he's going to keep going or not. And those are real conversations because the ups and downs and just having those long careers, you got to decide, like, is my mind ready to go through a whole nother season?

Because I even tell my wife, it's like if I commit to a season, like our offseason is like structured around workouts, like vacations are cut because I have to be regimented. I know what I have to do to get myself back in shape. And, you know, I think make sure you're doing everything you can to make sure you continue to make an impact, because I always tell her it sucks to suck.

I'm not sure that way games. Yeah, I'm not sure because I know – even on the back end of that because she already has a few vacations she wants to go to that we have to decide if we can or not. And so if I'm like, hey, she finds out, actually wasn't playing. Now she's like, whoa, we didn't go to Europe because of that. Yeah, so I – I don't know.
