Is there any noticeable issue with this influx of EVs since the fuel crisis, as we call it?

Yeah.

I, I guess, um, that's sort of a myth buster.

That- that's a myth that the, there's impact, um, on the grid from these electric vehicles.

There's no, uh, sort of impact ba- based on anything we've seen and there, there's no, um, impact based on all the forecasting that, that we've done because of the diversified nature and the fact that people charge their car maybe once a week means that it's got a minimal increase, um, to peak load or peak capacity, which is what can, uh, cause challenges for the grid.

So we, we don't, uh, see any of that in any of the forecasting we're doing or, uh, at, at this present time.

Mm-hmm.

So there hasn't been a single curbside charger that's been rolled out on Ausgrid's network that hasn't been taxpayer-funded.

The green, the blue, the white, what do you go with? Um, so are those things that sort of keep you up at night just trying to, trying to keep everyone happy, but knowing it's probably impossible?

Um, n- yes and no.

I think on our side for Under Armour, we have such a, um, an excitement and a responsibility of designing and outfitting the Notre Dame brand, um, that it, it comes with a level of, um, passion, scrutiny, uh, detail, and specifics as something as fundamental and simple as color, like you mentioned, right? Like, there is a long history of what color means to Notre Dame, uh, the, the appropriate shades of blue, the right hint of gold.

Um, and so for us, there's, it's an, it, there's an excitement and a privilege of designing that day in and day out, but then having the, the slight opportunities to step out and sort of advance the brand or expand the brand for select moments for Shamrock Series.

Um, yeah, so obviously the color and what, uh, what the main base of the uniform will be will always be probably among the, the most scrutinized or debated topics.

Um, but for us, uh, and you guys saw as well for 2024, is there was actually a, an introduction of a brand-new color completely for the blue-gray sky concept for the 100 years of the Four Horsemen.

Um, so for us, as long as there's authenticity, storytelling, um, and reason and rationale behind the color, uh, we feel like it's a, it's a absolutely unbelievable opportunity to sort of expand or play further into brand standards or colors that you may already know the Notre Dame football brand to be.
