Right.

Like, that's the first and foremost.

We have about 65% f- female student body, so even at our school, you could see a difference early on.

B- And I think we've worked really hard to try to establish our female sports, uh, teams at the university to try to get onto that even platform.

Still got lots of work to do.

I think that, um, th- you know, the WNBA, I mean, all th- those things along the way are just so impactful in how they can, you know, start a six-year-old, five-year-old little girl to p- to pick up a basketball.

[audience laughing] She was the greatest woman I ever, ever knew.

i mean the physical part of my body's there does that count like my blood and my bones yeah and my brain so if we're speaking in like so 90 like if we're just talking about the water is there but the the emotional commitment is not Yeah, I would say we're very different.

I'm very anxious, nervous, worried, and I don't feel those things.

The great thing about being on stage, though, it's like all those things go away.

That's another reason it's such a great place to be, right? Yeah.

I mean, you don't even think about bowel movements or...
