Mm-hmm

... and it was like, "This is what he is now.

He's a, you know, 6 million a year above average penalty killer who's not gonna provide anything else." And I know he's been in the news recently and, I mean, I think it was far worse for him personally than what we kinda glean from the public.

But we're not quite there with Pettersson yet.

Like, I don't think people are willing to sorta wave the white flag.

But I heard Brough before we came on, like there is a resignment that it's like he might be here for a while.

He might just stick around and, you know, have a shift and maybe score 40 to 50 points because I don't know how easy it's going to be to move him elsewhere, and he still has the hammer 'cause he's got his no movement clause.

Yeah.

Yeah

... and, you know, like, the interest in soccer, whether it's the Whitecaps story or the Canadian Men's National Team or just, you know, international soccer, just soccer, everyone, like, it's, it's, you can see the growth.

You can feel the growth in that.

And, you know, Mike is, Mike is an expert at that.

And like, I, I wanna talk about that.

I think that's interesting.

So, you know, to be able to do our same show without being pigeonholed, you know, we wanna talk about the stories that interest us.

Word or two about it, A-Dog.

You know, it's funny because-

When they, when they, when they- Sorry.

When they, when they first got a hold of us, uh, it was by far the most comprehensive and detailed and efficient pitch in terms of what they wanted to do and how they were gonna do it.

We didn't have to do a soft shoe tap dance to get into the conversation.

It was very clear from the start what Nation Network was about, what they wanted to do, what they'd had success with, and what they were gonna do with our show.

So it was, uh, like Jason said, super impressive right from the start.

We're really thrilled at how quickly and efficiently everything moves here.

Yeah.
