All right.

Is it okay for me to return to my own podcast at this point, bud?

Is that acceptable?

Are you part of the notification gang?

I did.

I got the notification.

Yes, and stumbled in.

And what is this, but a podcast that I'm vaguely familiar with.

So, Ayrham Smith, bud Elliott, thrilled to be back on the Noel Cast here.

Obviously, my responsibilities have shifted a little bit.

And today, Mark's a significant point in time where I can have more conversation or any

conversation with you, I guess, on some of these topics.

So, thrilled to be back with you again, December 21st, night of early, signing day.

But interesting day, had its highs, had its lows.

Had a pretty good feeling that we were going to see something similar to this come into

last weekend.

You didn't necessarily have a disaster by any means.

And you got some great pieces.

Still maybe another one or two outstanding.

But at this point, I think your class is probably your class.

And we can have a honest conversation as to what today look like and what it perhaps

would look like had it been a different series of events.
