yeah and i think you know somewhat someone like lauren and and meg obviously went all in as well at the time like they they've kind of people throw words around like the goat they're the goat of high rocks and you know they've been around interestingly lauren has not dropped away from that high performing level despite not having that background um so I'm kind of optimistic that there will still be challenges from elsewhere as well.
