is that we had this guest that was supposed to come on and we prepared for eons and we were so excited about the guest. And then what happened was that the guest's husband came on to do the tech check and was aggressive towards our producer. And our producer reported it to us in our other little Zoom room where we were waiting. And she was hurt and stressed. Activated. Yes.
