In the two weeks. Yeah, exactly. But, I mean, honestly, I've met so many amazing women in the NFL. I mean, some of my truly best friends for life. And the families that come together. Like, the word wag has been โ now I love it. Now when people call me that. But I remember when I first met Kyle, I was like, oh, please don't call me that. I hate that word. Stop.
