yeah, well, I mean it this is I mean, this is actually it's both amusing, but of course watching a Cubs game is a meaningful activity. matched

But I actually have an interesting anecdote here. matched

So, you know, as a researcher, of course, you do the best you can with the data you have. matched

So matched

One of the this is actually a nice illustration of why you would talk about quantitative and qualitative research together. matched

But um i i in the last year of my grandfather's life, who you know, I was very close to my grandpa and I was visiting my grandparents in San Diego. matched

And matched

He had Alzheimer's disease and that he was watching the Cubs game on TV. matched

And it was it was it was of course way before 2016. matched

The Cubs really sucked during this period. matched

And you know, so I was saying, like, well, grandpa, like, what do you think of the Cubs this year? matched

And I I actually didn't think he really would have had any memory of what was happening. matched

And he just like he gave this big scowl and just said, matched

Ah matched

The Cubs. matched

And it actually, I mean, part of it's telling that this is one of my memories of grandpa and his last year. matched

And it actually was a moment of connection with us that through all the problems and difficulties grandpa was having, he remembered that the Cubs had been part of his life. matched

And like through his 94 years, like the last time they won a World Series had been when he was three. matched

And so he had like we had watched 91 years of losing seasons. matched

So it was, you know, so that it I mean, so that actually, I mean, I kind of could see why in an in in a quantitative like database study you might classify TV watching as passive, but that actually was a very active moment of connection. matched
