Wow. Yeah. That's one that that is it's also, you know, also not competing because I think you have the most popular sports podcast in the world. So I don't so I also don't consider you a competitor, but I appreciate you mentioning. I do with my son. There's room for

Yeah, great to see you.
You were supposed to come on during the summer to do a mailbag with me and the timing never worked out. You got riled up a couple times. You got mad that I wasn't wearing a seatbelt. Um I did.
I sent you so I preemptive so here's the thing. Cause you always talk about getting aggregated. Yeah. And I don't Um sometimes the aggregation uh you know is good in regard like it's almost free publicity, like some of the clippers or whatever. It's like, oh, I didn't put that out there. And sometimes I say certain things. That I'm like, we're not gonna put this out because I don't wanna be publicizing, you know, this shot I'm taking at someone. Yeah, but I anticipate someone will put it out on my behalf, and then I'm like, hey, I didn't publicize it, I just said it.
Right. Um, it's like a no-look pass. You're like,
exactly. Like, oh, I mean, I said it, but I wasn't like boosting it, but I knew it'd get boosted. Um but I was worried. That there was going to be like a headline. Nick Wright eviscerates Bill Simmons for the seatbelt thing. So I I did a front run on it, which is I immediately clipped it and texted it to you. So you knew, even if you never watched it, what I was saying was in good my heart was in the right place. And that was before I knew you can't see anymore because your contacts. This is the right thing. This week. It
sounds like Wednesday. Wednesday I'm gonna be able to see. We'll see how I can read. You're gonna do a mailbag with me.
