And then you guys all sit there and think, What exactly of this do we want to pull into the actual episode?

So in that scenario, we find out if Jack wants to shoot with us.

If he does, we'll shoot with him, especially because it's a Lauren date.

Those were rare.

So in answer to your question, Liz, I really enjoyed the format.

I enjoyed the idea.

I really liked the camaraderie of a crew of people working together because you're collaborating and you're figuring out the story as a group and not just one person.

And

Why is the door wrecked?

We were trying to call for help and one of the thieves had to break in to stop us.

The telegraph machine was on that shelf.

Debbie Drablay was tied up over there.

Brace and I were here.

It'd be nice to dry off.

Yeah, I'm sure we can find some wood for a fire.

I got through to my Uncle Clark.

Maybe Deacon Chuck picked it up.

No, I checked with him.

He's the one who locked up the car.

I asked around and no one has seen it.

Professor Sheed is worried.

Just wait until I see him.

So, what are you going to do with the dagger, Professor? I thought about it all night.

I'm not sure what to do.

Thank you.

I had the idea that the dagger might have come through Hope Springs as part of a traveling show.

You know the kind.

Showmen claiming to have all kinds of weird things for people to look at.

What did you find? A locally produced audio drama called Strange But True.

It was on in the early 1950s.

I found tape recordings in our archives.

If that is what has happened.

You've had a chance to look at the pictures?

I'm sure it's a Sicarii, a dagger used by the Zealots against the Romans in ancient Israel.

Probably first century.

What were the markings? The pictures weren't clear.

I'd be grateful for you to do that, if it's not too much trouble.

First thing tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, the obvious question is, how in the world did this dagger wind up in Hope Springs?

May I sit with you?

Absolutely.

Brace, Jay, this is Randall Burton.

And Chimney Hill?

If you wanna know, you'll have to come back to the telegraph office.

Let's start, just walk through your framework for how you're thinking about the current moment.

I think the market spent the first part of the year oscillating around their highs before March the 2nd occurred, certainly out of the second strike on Iran.

But this one clearly went on longer than the first strike back on the 13th of June, 25.

And so I think people sort of looked at it and sort of looked through it a little bit.

The market, I think, was lacking the liquidity, albeit they got that bump out of the RMP on the 10th of December to try to manage that tax season stress and certainly manage the year term.

And I think therefore coming into that sell-off, we were somewhat concerned about the liquidity profile through our pillars, how we're looking at in terms of the rate of change basis.

So we were quite well positioned into March the 2nd.

You know, the, the tenure has been pinned at 4.3% for three years.
