So as a general answer, probably not. At the specific level, though, there may be. We just don't have those data yet.
We just need more work in that area. Amazing. You've been super generous with your time, but I'm not letting you off the hook before I get one more thing out of you. You were telling me about some upcoming studies you've got going on. And you mentioned the travel one. I don't know if you can talk about that, but is there any other cool stuff you got going on?

We did a jet lag travel study with Bill Kramer at University of Connecticut. They did a bunch of stuff in stores. We took blood performance. They flew out to L.A., did a whole bunch of other stuff, flew them back out there, retested them again. We did that probably 15 years ago or something like that. And that was a very fun study. So I'm looking forward to see what you guys pull up.

Well, what's really interesting is if you follow college sports at all, you realize that a trip from Florida to California โ is now the same conference. That's ACC. That's ACC. We are now in the Big Ten. My friend and I were โ actually, my brother-in-law, Josh, we're joking.

He's an Ohio State guy, and he texted me something about University of Washington and USC just played in a classic Big Ten matchup. I was just like, ah. He's rubbing it in.

It's killing me. So this is a real part of collegiate athletics, and it's not just football. Yeah. All of them.

Folks that are paying attention are spending a lot of time at the collegiate level on sleep because โ Of those things, and we expect them to go back and not make bad decisions and all that stuff, despite the fact that we know what happens. Not only the lack of sleep, but just timing of sleep. So really cool stuff.

I'm going to finish on one point, and I'm doing this intentionally at the end here, because I think it's really important. A lot of people will talk about the current field of nutrition and supplementation, and perhaps... the conflicts of interest and biases, and can you trust the research? And that's probably fair, right?

The general attitude is less trust in the institutions and perhaps has ever been, and that's fine. But I really wanted to talk to you about this because I don't know necessarily anybody who has more industry funding. Your studies have been paid for by supplement companies. And you have gotten money from the government, NIH and plenty of other places.

That said, as we have shown the entire conversation here, you're 50-50, right? You clearly don't hesitate. That's generous. To take funding from somebody and then tell them their product did not work.

Those contracts don't happen anymore. Maybe that used to happen, but I don't know anyone who has contracts like that anymore.
