I mean, I'm hearing weird different things now.

The people that I've asked, and I did ask some people this week at the winter meetings, kind of their thoughts on 2027, and...

I feel like people 26, 26, 26.

Yeah.

And I just, you know, I kind of just felt the room out and, and kind of heard what people were saying.

And it seems like people are feeling a little bit more optimistic about, you know, not there being such a lengthy lockout.

I don't know.

Well, I guess time will tell, but.

Very good point.

Very, very, very good point.

Because there's many different layers and stages, as I learned, of the winter meetings.

Amen.

That's probably the most truthful thing we've ever said on this podcast.

All day long.

All day long.

So I would say my expectations were pretty set with how this was going to look and what it was really going to be.

I think it did exceed my expectations in certain aspects.

As far as like just, you know, honing my interviewing skills, I really enjoyed it.

sitting through the um manager interviews i enjoyed hearing you know what the beat writers were asking the managers how the managers were responding the different personalities i enjoyed that aspect of it just kind of learning and taking that all in um and then i knew this was going to be like really one giant networking event and in more ways than one yeah yeah

And it was.
