You know what I'm saying?

Like the same guys that are calling you and your buddy, buddy and your good, good friends.

And and they the moment something the moment the chips are down and they drop you, you know, like a hot potato, you realize, oh, you were you were we were never friends.

Not what I consider a friend.

Yeah.

And I always see that that saying where it's like they would say, like, if you have three friends.

three people in your life that you can say are, were true friends, you should count yourself lucky.

That's right.

And I remember thinking, I got lots of friends, but I really didn't have lots of friends.

So they prepare a pre-sentence report, which is prepared by a probation officer, which you're assigned as soon as you get in trouble.

Or plead, I guess, as soon as you kind of plead guilty, they give you they assign a probation officer.

He prepares a a pre-sentence report or investigation report, whatever PSR and and which is handed.

They calculate the sentencing guidelines and they give it to the judge.

And you have an opportunity, obviously, to argue.

Your lawyer has an opportunity to argue because sometimes that precedence report will say 10 years and then they'll give you a bunch of enhancements to get it to 10 years.

And then your lawyer can argue like, what are you talking about?

Like these don't apply.

You can't give him those enhancements.

And maybe you can negotiate, get it down to seven or eight, whatever it is.

So the precedence report, they give it to the judge.
