Throw up 155. This is my final thought. Look at this bar graph. President Trump's speech was the longest ever first addressed to Congress by like a lot.

And so sweeping and so dramatic and the creativity and the upheaval and so much has changed so quickly that he filled an hour and 40 minutes of content. And I didn't even realize it was that long.

I just want to say a knock against Ben. I'm just saying it's just just just to give a little inside break, break the fourth wall here. To my everlasting shame, I wasn't convinced that this was a good idea. Charlie and Blake were like, we need to pardon Derek Chauvin.

No, he got railroaded. It's terrible. But, you know, Blake, you pushed it hard. Charlie, you push. I just want the world to know the reason, you know, probably wasn't more is because I was the like wet blanket in the room going like, I don't know if we're there yet, but my bad.
