Yeah, good spot.

The point is we have cortisol activities in the body and literally as a neurotransmitter modulator in our brain.

And in the brain, it has a very negative influence on our mood.

So indeed, our body gets up and needs it to get active.

But that is only a peak in the beginning of the morning.

But when we are chronically exposed to cortisol, we get literally molecularly blocked to experience good emotions.

And that was a little bit the experiment that we wanted to prove.

That even if you know, just imagine, you know you will call a Republican, you know you will call a Democrat, that actually maybe the day before you were like, shit, beat these guys, right?

Hey, what are you doing?

And that was, I think, was really great.

It almost feels like we should have them in much more cities.

Everywhere.
