I think they care more about that.

I had a number of fans who wrote to me and said, and this is unusual for it to be this much volume, so that's why I mention it.

I had a number of fans who wrote to me and said, or sent me DMs and said, after the press conference, they felt that they didn't really know what the direction of the team was going to be.

And after some of the interviews, and Real Kipper and Bourne did another one too, they

a real chipper and born to another one too.

And like, they just, it was nice.

Yeah, I think that I think I've said this a lot and I probably said on your show that, first of all, I like I know I'm never going to be a GM.

I think you have to be smart with the risk you take and you have to be calculated and you have to have good reasons for the things that you do.
