I really love the, the, uh, mission breakout over in DCA, but I mean, this, this iconic attraction, man, I, there is zero chance I go to Disney world and don't ride this ride.

Yeah, I have to agree.

Um, don't ever miss this ride, but it's because Lindsay makes me, um, I, I, the, the, the worst part for me is anticipation on any, on any thrill ride is like waiting for something to happen.

And that is like the ride for the anticipatory thing.

I can remember, um, 10 years old the first time i believe i stood online for this thing my sister's 14 she's all psyched up about going on this ride and um my mom and i are not so sure about it and we go through the whole line all the way up to the elevator door and my sister and my father get on the elevator and my mom points to the exit sign and i just nodded and we took off we got out of there Um, so I didn't ride it for the first time until I was probably 13, um, and, and was a little bit more brave.

Um, but I remember hearing stories about, there was no real harnesses or, or, or safety straps or anything.

There was just like the, the little bar to hold onto.

I think it's overlooked.

Sure.

'Cause it, you know, all off-season you're just gearing up for the spring practice to show that you're good, you've rebounded, everything's all right, and I just think it's frustrating that he's not able to just go 100%.

I'm hoping there's a little bit of abundance of caution, that maybe if it was like y- you know, closer to the season he'd be at, you know, going at it a little bit differently, maybe a little more aggressively.

He still has time to heal up and get to 100%, 'cause you don't need him going to practice at 85 nursing an injury, 85%.

So I think it's frustrating all the way around, but, um, like you said, that room's full of talent and we're-

True.

You got a Gonzaga guy, a guy from a big program that did a lot of winning, played a lot of playoffs or tournament games.

So at least there's some, there's some hope of athleticism and talent there.

[laughs]

It, it happens all the time though, right? The more that you put on them and the more you expect, like this past year it's like, all right, they go one and one to start the season, they might have a national championship in their future, and they went 0 and 2 and the whole rest of the year was like, darn it.

You know? So, um, I think it...

I'm gonna take the positive approach and say it's encouraging because it's nice to know that you're in those conversations.

It's nice to know that you have those pieces.

And you talk about expectations, I think a lot of the times growing up it was different leadership.

I think the leadership's better now than what they've had before, and it's just nice to see that they have those pieces in place that keeps...

So, like, are, are we around to that place, or is it just because of the lack of other guys in the draft and, and, like, these specific running backs happen to be here for him?
