I want to wait for the green sign before I point.

Okay.

Boom, good. Okay, We had some technical difficulties. So let's try it again. Okay. So anyway brother welcome. Thanks. Thanks for coming here. Thanks. So what we were saying before we actually said this already but let's say it again because the
