Juju is phenomenal, man. We always close out the show well with Juju because he brings this positive energy. Even though you want everybody to pull themselves up by their bootstraps, Juju coming here showing the love, supporting everybody, even gave love to all the people in the ship container. Yeah.

We're up.

A huge part of it is exactly what you're talking about. When you are... disincentivizing the games being important, the games become less important. I mean, I mean, this is the organizations right now. This is the problem that the NBA has to face, is that if teams can't sell success, they're selling hope, which is incentivizing for fans to want the worst draft pick, to want tanking.
