I dare you to hear this as a poem. That's what he's always saying. Yes. One of the things that really struck me about even the conversation that unfolded here is that I don't think I would have gone in to kind of quote unquote execute this particular kind of reading without the partnership that we developed here partly because I've always been stumped with Ashbury with his reticence. You being not a very reticent person. Like being the exact opposite.
