Tom, we are unleashing our wrath today. That's right. Our righteous anger. Rar.
Okay. Not the last. Rar to you, for sure. Yes. Okay. So as to set the stage, should we talk about what wrath is? Should we allow our friend to step in? Who, our robot friend? Sure. Unless he's going to be a real meanie about it.

Well, this is what โ so, of course, I'm thinking about why we're doing sins and virtues this season. Why is wrath one of the seven deadly sins? Yeah. And I think this is interesting, especially in the context of the seven deadly sins specifically, because we've kind of talked about this a little bit around the edges.
