And I want to ask you this question, and I like asking you this at the end of every summer.
Was there a single day this summer where you didn't get an NHL-related phone call?
Was there a single day this summer where you got less than two NHL-related phone calls? Yes.
But there was some time when I was over in Europe where I could see people were calling and they hear the European ringtone.
Somebody would be calling and say, oh, he's in Europe and hang up before I could answer or I did answer.
So you're constantly getting, there was there, let me amend my answer while I had less than two calls, but greater than zero every, at least every day in the summer, there wasn't a day where I wasn't at least five to 10 text messages.
And so, and you know, Alan, where I get messages trying to get in touch with you, people who want to be agents you know if you really do want to be one be prepared for that life right that's something that that is a that's inherent
