Am I the only one? I think that's a little bit of edge to it. I kind of like it. I mean, it keeps the audience on edge. Oh, 100%. I do think that some of those were... It is great when you've got a room of people that are really engaged in what you're saying. It's energy that really does bring something that is greater than the sum of its parts.

It was wild. A little bit of this is like, you were complaining to me. So the conference is like, we're kind of in the pre-conference, like the days before the conference. You're like, I've got to give this plenary in like three days and I've got no idea what I'm talking about.

And then like unrelated to the closing plenary, you were relaying to me your like the extreme frustration of your past week, which I found hilarious. I'm like, Theo, that is your closing plenary. Like you just need to go and like describe your week. And I still feel, I got to say, I still absolutely love that talk. Because in part, because you can just like feel your visceral pain.

The thing I also love is Adam, Theo goes down a blind alley because someone has his exact problem and suggests a fix. And then someone replies to him saying, thanks, that fix worked for me.

You can waste an arbitrary amount of time, but it was, uh, it was right. And I think that was kind of like, that was definitely that era of like, you've got a big room and it was great. I mean, it was, it was, it was, it was a lot of energy, live performance. It was, uh, it was really terrific. Thank you. But then I feel like you guys did Surge for, I think, five years and then folded the 10 up.
