Matt, today's a big special day. Did you know that? I didn't. What's today? I was reliably informed that today. I don't know why we keep doing these shows on Big Matt days, but I believe today is your wedding anniversary. Is that right? Now that you mentioned it, yeah, 14 years. And my wife was thrilled when I told her that, you know, we couldn't go out just now because I had to go do a friendly fire episode. I told her that. She said, man, get out there and do that friendly fire episode. That's what, that's, that's the most important thing. It's the best gift you could give her, actually. I mean, when you think about it, it really is. I know, you know, we're going to shoot, we're going to shoot this episode and then,

2:53.1

What's that's why? Actually, she wanted to go kayaking, so we're going to go kayaking. And that's, that's an activity we like to do as a couple. And a lot of, I like it because we'll go out kayaking. And a lot of times, once we get out on the water, I'll discover that silly me, my my fishing pole is still the kayak. I didn't realize it was there. And so then I got to, I have to fish also because it's there. So that's what we'll do. Her watching you fish is like your anniversary? That's what it's going to be. You have a very, very generous wife. I do. That's, I mean, we knew that already, but that's kind of like an unbelievable level of generosity.

And I say, nah. And she says, all right. And that's what we do every important anniversary. For my fifth wedding anniversary, I said, do you want to go somewhere?
