I mean, really, really good conversations.

They are.

These are people that I I've known for a long time and who I like very much and who were.

you know, who wanted we all wanted this to work out best.

And I will tell you, like, I mean, first of all, I ruined Dana's weekend.

It was just nonstop phone calls all weekend.

But I don't think what I don't think the result, which I think turned out to be very positive, would have been as positive if I hadn't talked to Dana as much as I did, because it helped me think everything through and it helped me

just kind of understand where everyone was coming from.

I can sometimes be reactionary, I can sometimes be aggressive, and I can sometimes be unpleasant, and I think that it helped me, really having those days to think about it was helpful.

I have a dumb question about this.

As someone who is kind of reporting on it in real time, trying to figure out what's happening, so the show goes off the air,

You have all these conversations.

And when you all made a decision to put the show back on the air, my understanding at the time was it still wasn't exactly clear what you were going to say.

They still hadn't resolved the issues with the affiliates.

So what do you resolve in those conversations to know you're going back if you haven't figured out a lot of the things that come out of it?

I think just the spirit of what I'm going to say, rather than specifically what I was going to say.

And I think that's something that we all agreed on.

And I think that

Ultimately, I wanted to kind of cover every base if I could.

And sometimes you can do that and sometimes you can't do that.
