I do know about it, and I love how we are, how the shorthand for that around the open studio's open studio ESP. YesP. Right. Yeah, do you have ESP? Yeah, exactly.

You know, yeah, for all of you aspiring Peter Martin-level pianists out there, know that even Peter Martin, when he sees Jeffrey Keiser in the audience or something, feels a little twang. Maybe like, ugh. But it's so fun when you see him afterwards. Yeah, and you're like,
