| 0:22.3 | We were going to cancel it all together, but there was literally too much to talk about. |
| 0:26.5 | We had Brian earlier in the week. We had some technical difficulties. We got that all figured |
| 0:30.2 | out hopefully. But today is a full rundown. Literally, even though we did it two days ago, |
| 0:34.7 | there was a lot of news that came out. Price action, |
| 0:37.7 | not much has changed. But again, if you're zooming out and looking at the runway of the fundamentals, it is, it is quite a bullish. There's no other way to put it, Brian. It's quite a bullish start to 2026. I know me and you, we're kind of teeing up our sheet here and just getting kind of super giddy because there's a lot of fun topics to talk about some unique stuff stuff we haven't talked about um but overall just |
