Yes, we had them during our COVID era.
That's happening a lot now. We're starting to get folks that we had done during COVID. And I got to say, it feels in person like it's the first time we interviewed them.
Definitely. I mean, I feel bad saying this, but that time feels lost. Like it almost feels like those episodes don't count.
