That's true. Yeah, you have to crash some well. Yeah, but yes, very better sweet.

And I think I'm going to be sad to leave. I've really enjoyed four years of game scoop and four years that I can sometimes it feels like I've been here so much longer and other times, especially because of the two years of pandemic time.

Oh, man, yeah, it's been nothing just a blip. But you've all been so supportive scoop nation and Damon as well. Damon has been such a fantastic host and supporter of mine since the beginning days and even entrusted me with the keys to games.

I've been here a few times so that he could take some more desert vacation. So yeah, it went so well each time. I mean, yeah, problem.

Especially that first time. They were not Tina's fault. I'm not implying that. Yeah, that's true. Yeah, well, yeah, all of us were like very sad to be losing you, but also very excited for you in the future.
