You know, Andrew, I gotta ask you, you're here in Dallas, but you're representing the Shock, so tell us about the MILP and what is the goal for the Shock across the country? You said be here, be the greatest pickleball team, but...

Yeah, I mean, we wanna build the biggest network and community of pickleball throughout the country and, you know, it really starts at the grassroots, in the amateur level, right? That's the bulk of people playing pickleball in the country, millions and millions of people.

And, you know, we want to have a large family, and we wanna be all-inclusive.

So whether you're a 2.5 douber or a 5.5 douber, whether you're eight years old or 80 years old, there's an opportunity to be part of the Shock family and play and compete in minor league tournaments all over the country.

Yeah.

And so what I found is the minor league, major league, you know, format, the team-based format gives you that sense of team, and you can kinda be competitive from that standpoint.

So it started with me playing, and then just meeting a lot of people.

A lot of people love the Shock in St. Louis, obviously.

The STL Bucket List Show is fueled by UpShot Coffee.

My friends at UpShot Coffee have some of the best beans in town.

I got some of their new packaging here.

Look at this bag, how big this is.

Um, they have four St. Louis locations, their flagship in Cottleville, The Break Shop over by Lindenwood in St. Charles, their Clayton location called Hi-Fi, um, and then Flyby over in Tower Grove, their newest location.

Um, and they also sell their coffee online everywhere.

Mm-hmm.
