that complicated.

It's really not.

And thank you for saying that.

We are trying to make it simple by a couple of things.

But I think the main thing that we wanted to do was...

When I became president in mid-May, as a company, we just started talking through the importance of continuing to develop the community events, community events like I owned at Monster Games and Heart of America.

And just taking that model and talking to other event directors, it was very, very clear that the appetite and the space for spectators to go and sit at an event for three days and watch tour stops when they're not the finale, it had just waned.

I know.

... we're sort of everything is just the whole ecosystem's on a bit of an upward trend.

We have a lot of different stuff we're doing in, in Grand Park this year.

So we're, I mean, we're introducing new tests.

I mean, we're, we're swimming at a regional, I mean, at a, uh, at a tour stop.

Um, we've got, we've introduced the flip sled.

So we're, we're doing some different stuff.

We're, we're running a 10K.

And I'm curious, like, do you think that, was it worse than you expected it to be, was the kinda ire and the anger and stuff, or the, the lack of, you know, benefit of the doubt or whatever, was it worse than you thought it would be? Or was it, like, do you think now in hindsight, do you think it was, like, unfair? Or do you think, like, yeah, I mean, it was always gonna cause a problem?
