Speaking, not going to go with that. He didn't get dinged that. I was going to say, but you didn't get dinged in the nuts. You almost did after last week's bomb cast, but we all avoided it. We all helped it. So it would not happen. Dan Reichert. I bet I've been hitting the nuts more than anyone in this room. No one's got a lot. Is that just like a kick? No, accidental stuff. Well, there were a lot of things in college where it's like, Okay, well, I got to get you back. So I'm going to kick you in the nuts. Roche, boo. There's a lot of that stuff. Yeah.

2:01.4

That's a real.

2:02.0

Oh, wow. No, no. Is that a shoot? Yes, it's real. And he's retiring this year. I believe it. He's nationally famous. You can look at the most successful vasectomy doctor ever. He had the best marketing probably. Yeah. Wait, but that makes you think you're chopped off. Yeah. That was the joke I was making is that you lose your balls, but you don't.
