What's up?

Oh, dude.

I've got some potential tumult in my life.

Am I saying that right?

Is it tumult or tumult?

It's either tumult or tumult.

I've never heard of tumult.

Where's the emphasis on that word?

Well, it's like, yeah.

Well, because you say tumultuous, it makes it seem like it's tumult. But I think it's tumult. I'm going to go with tumult. It's so funny. I remember you, like you saying this makes me remember one of Richard Simino, our old high school pastors, chapels during, like, junior year of high school. Yeah. when he was talking about, he was going through the book of Acts, and he was talking about, um, the, the writer is, is narrating Paul's missionary journey, and it says something like after the tumult had ceased.

I mean, somebody knew about it, but nobody I knew at Moss Adams knew about it.

But yeah, and Baker Tilly is a larger firm than us. So, you know, TBD, what this all means and it actually comes to pass and what would actually happen in that instance.

But I know private equity is involved from the article. And I don't know, it's a little bit like,

like one minute you're like, oh, I've had this job for 13 years. I'll work here for the next

nine years, then retire,

you know, and you have all your calculations and your spreadsheets and you're like, if I put this much money in, I get this much raise every year and I keep doing this, I'll be able to retire with this much money, blah, blah, blah. And then all of a sudden, it's like, oh, your company might not exist in two years anymore, you know, because usually when a larger company merges with a smaller company,
