Once that ball starts, I think a lot of people are hoping that it keeps rolling. And, you know, I think that there's some truth to that. So I think, you know, The news that broke today is great. I think it pushes people into a positive sentiment overall, even though it's more probably from the public markets.

But I think overall, positivity is going to help push that ball forward and start to gain momentum and speed and have it go down the hill and start the deal flow volume that I think we've all kind of been waiting for for the last 18 months or so.

But on top of that, it's even just access to capital sometimes can be really challenging for some of these businesses, even well capitalized or highly valued companies are starting to have a sense that capital access is Not quite what it was, you know, maybe, you know, three, four years ago or the last time they went to the bank and asked for some additional capacity.

Yeah, yeah, that's very, very true. And it's got great, great taste in TV shows. I love Landman. Billy Bob Thornton is one of the most talented actors of our time. He's just crazy how well he can kind of adapt into that role. It's quite interesting compared to what you see from him and kind of in his non-character role. So that's a great show. I very much enjoy that show.

I have not yet got to that show. It's on my list. It's definitely on my list. But as you know, I have three kids under the age of 14. They're all boys. They're all busy.
