Yep.

Good Southern girl.

That really helps.

Oh, yeah.

OK.

We got this.

Yeah.

I have been with you when fans have come up to you and shared how important your movies are to them.

I feel like Hallmark is the sort of, it provides the escapism, the safety, the joy that people so desperately need right now.

Particularly when they're going through a difficult time.

Yes.

What does it feel like to be on the other end of that, of someone coming up to you and saying, you got me through one of the hardest times of my life?

I've heard it thousands of times at this point because we have this unique experience at Hallmark to interact with fans all the time.

And when somebody comes up to you, I met this one mother and her daughter who had just celebrated 30 years.

And they told me, she said, 30 years ago, my daughter was born premature.

She was under 25 weeks.

She had a heart defect.

And there was a doctor on that team who came to me and said, you know, they had said, say your goodbyes, you know, because they'd never done a heart surgery on a baby less than 25 weeks.

And this doctor came up to her, the surgeon, and said, look, you might lose your you're going to lose your child either way, but I would like to try.

And he successfully repaired her heart defect.
