Mr. Danny Ainsh, hello, sir.

Good morning, gentlemen.

Sorry about that.

You guys changed your number.

I didn't have your new number.

Yeah, sure. That's what all the people say. Why have you called me? And they go, oh, I lost your number. And I say, ah, ah. For heavens to Mercantroids. How are you feeling? I'm feeling great. That's good news. That's good news. You're looking good. we haven't talked to you since everything kind of went down.

How far... I'm feeling great. That's good news. That's good news. You're looking good. We haven't talked to you since everything kind of went down.

How frustrating it was it to have your team going through the playoffs and all the questions about, you know, free agency and everything. Well, you were essentially instructed, right, by a doctor to not watch the games or have to be hands-off for the first time as a GM.

Yeah, you know, I only missed watching one game, but I was very much involved, you know, right after that one game.

I was back into it.

You know, were your family members and loved ones saying, for the love of God, please,

don't just step away for like a week and then you just defied their wishes?

Can you guys hear me?

Yeah, kind of.

You're cutting in and out, but I got you there.

Yeah, so was your family begging you to just step away from the job for just a little bit?

Yeah, they were, but I did step away a little bit.

I mean, Mike and Austin were doing a lot of things that I might have been doing at that moment.

But I was watching the games.
