Anything that you'd like to add, just so that people know exactly when to come out, the best day to see everything, and which days are the little chippers going to be doing their thing?

The schedule is all posted on our website and you can register your kids for the Little Chippers event on there.

We're doing it after school on Thursday and Friday from 4 to 6 p.m. and then it's pretty much all day Saturday and all day Sunday.

Saturday gets to be a bit crazy so we make sure we have a couple food trucks come out.

With that many people coming through it's more than we can handle with our own kitchen but our bar and kitchen are open for the whole event and just people please remember to park behind the building try not to block the road if possible.

Definitely the funnest time to come out is Sunday afternoon.

Once they're done their big carvings, we do something called a quick carve.

How sore are they? Like their arms and their shoulders must just ache after this competition.

What kind of tools are they using? Like, are they actually using chainsaws or what are they?

Oh, they're going to be at a table.

They'll have the knives and forks and spoons and the kind of plastic tools that you would use for Play-Doh and that sort of thing.

So they were going to paint them afterwards as well.

So just give them a little taste of what being.

creative is all about.

But as far as the big carvers, we have six professional carvers coming this year.

How would you advise people to get the full experience when they come up for the championships?

Thank you, Rob.

I'll start with the quarterly results for Immunology, which delivered total revenues of nearly $8.8 billion, reflecting very strong operational sales growth of 14.6%.

Skyrizzy total sales were $5.5 billion, up 24% on an operational basis, once again exceeding our expectations.

I'm very pleased with our performance in psoriasis, where we continue to capture robust in-play share of new and switching patients at a rate which is impressively four times higher than any other biologic or oral treatment in the U.S. We have achieved market share leadership now in more than 30 countries, and see substantial room for continued growth globally.

We do not expect a material impact to our robust outlook in psoriasis from existing or new therapies given Skyrizzy's very distinct profile.

This includes high and very durable skin clearance from head to toe, widely demonstrated superior efficacy in head-to-head trials versus five different mechanisms, including both biologics and oral agents.

simple and convenient quarterly dosing, and extremely strong long-term data in psoriatic arthritis extending now to five years, which is very important to prescribers as roughly 30% of psoriasis patients ultimately develop PSA, as well as now our recent approval for pediatric use with the new weight-based dosing option.

Thank you.

In addition to the array of things that will be happening on their property, he says they still focus very much on the quality of their products.

Our mantra here is quality wins.

So, uh, if we have good quality inputs, we get good quality outputs.

I'm doing a neat project right now.

We, we got a phone call from a buddy of mine that owns a tow truck company, and he says, "Can you do anything with pears?" I said, "Yeah, I can turn pears into schnapps.

Why?" He says, "Do you want some?" I said, "Well, how m- how much?" He says, "A whole semi load." [laughs] So turned out a semi-trailer in that wind on Thursday last week flipped over, and it was full of pears.

And the boxes were damaged.

Can you give us any indication, or are things still kind of on the down low?

Have you guys been hit by all this crazy weather?

It's been nuts, yes.

There's times where we have to go to the neighbors and get some of our stuff back because it's blowing up.

But my neighbor's out haying now and the swath that he's got there looks phenomenal.

So I think we're going to have a good hay crop for everybody this year.

And our crop, barley, is coming up really nice.

We are super busy in the summertime, of course.

Do you generally lead people through tours of the distillery, showing them how that's all accomplished?

And in more bulk quantities, obviously, too.

Absolutely.

Going through all the different provincial liquor boards and getting listings with them and getting warehouse space, which is pretty limited, it's tough.

And I understand why the different provinces are reluctant to really open things wide up because there's a lot of tax money at stake here.

You know, if you do add up all the different taxes, it's over $17 of tax on a 750 milliliter bottle just in our province alone.

And The dispute happens between provinces over who should get that tax money.

So say I made my product here in Alberta, but I shipped it to British Columbia.

Okay, as somebody that produces alcohol products, liquor products, how frustrating is this for you to see it? It's like you get to the finish line and then they decide, we're not going to quite cross our feet over that just yet.

When does the process actually start?

That's a great question because I don't think you ever want it to be a rushed process.

Some of these markets you can go public in 16 weeks.

That doesn't mean you should.

So I think what we do when we invest, we think – What can we do now at the point of investment so that two years from now, four years from now, this company is in a better position to go public? Part of that is, as often when we invest, we'll show the investment to some public market investors and say, what do you think of this? Are you excited when this comes to markets? And I think helping management teams build relationships with public market investors before the IPO is a great way to build a resilient business.

I was talking to one of the senior executives at the Dubai Exchange, and she pointed out, she goes, people confuse an IPO with being public in the same way that you could confuse a wedding party for a marriage.

And I said, well, what do you mean? She says, well, you might have a great wedding party, but that doesn't mean you have a great marriage.

And really what we

What was the response to this text when it came out?

Yes.

Well, in the republication that is coming out in Oxford World Press of this book that I just did, I chronicle the responses.

And there was a tremendous positive view from people who often weren't very supportive.

H.L. Mencken, for example, the The caustic writer at the American Mercury basically said that it was the first time that he saw black people throwing off the inferiority complex and even saying in some places that actually black people are superior to white people.

And he thought that was a good thing to be able to say.

Even radicals like Doxie Wilkerson, who was a socialist at the time, I interviewed him for the biography.

Talk to me about that right quick.

Doug, I saw you patrol center field and have your 200-hit season, you know, at the Vet, and then saw you at Citizens Bank Park, so been a lifelong Phillies fan.

Have been doing baseball trivia for as long as I can remember-

(laughs)

So in the past 60 years, so we're going back quite a while, only one time has a major league player led the majors in plate appearances and hit zero home runs-
