No, I don't think you can anticipate that. I think when you โ I've never been to an Olympics before. This is my first experience there. So right when the tournament starts, not just the basketball tournament, just the Olympics overall, there is a ton of emotion right away. I mean the opening ceremony and they're on the river and Celine Dion is there and the Eiffel Tower is illuminated.

You immediately are emotional. So you start from a place of emotion and then I think when you're in it, you're in this sort of like bubble of emotion where nothing else in the world is going on. So it's a ripe environment for some of that emotion to come out. And I think the job is to make people know that you can be comfortable being emotional in that environment.

And if you feel emotional, it's not unique. Everyone in there feels emotional. And showing that is cool. And it's relatable. And I think when people open up like that, as you saw the reaction to Kevin crying. People like that. And it's because we all feel that way a lot of times. And so when you show it, it makes you feel human and it humanizes the person showing it.

Yeah, I think it also helped audience and the fans to sort of see Kevin in a different light and respect him in a different way. I think I can speak for a lot of people where it's like you really change your perspective on a lot of these players like Xena mentioned. And I think the fact that One of the other unique things about this doc was it took four different perspectives, right?

The US was obviously the main perspective, but you had Canada, you had Serbia, you had France. How did you guys nail down those three other teams in terms of picking which teams could kind of go far in this tournament? And were you guys silently rooting for some of these teams to make it further to make this thing work? Yeah.

So I'll get to the first part with the teams. So, again, this is Connor and a lot of conversations happening without me there. But Team USA was the obvious choice because win or lose, they had to be in it. They're kind of the story, the great white shark. France was another pretty obvious choice because they're the home country. Silver medal in the Tokyo Olympics.
