I landed in Cleveland. It's like 40.

I was like, whoa, I've never seen anything like this in May. Yeah. And it was complicated because there was so much change taking place where we didn't know, but the team in the background was being put up for sale. We had a new head coach. We had multiple position changes. We had multiple player changes. And so I would say it was just almost like a case study of change, of change.

It's a complicated question because some people are really talented and but don't love it and can still be great players. Some people's motivation are to change the trajectory of their family. Some people just love to compete, whether it's basketball, football, accounting, engineering, they wanna compete, that's just how they're wired. And so you just see a different flavor of it.
