We had a little Notre Dame football recruiting to start the show.

0:55.4

And then I guess we weren't totally talking politics, but we were talking, you know, like politics mixed with sports. It's as close as we're going to get. It's as close as we're going to get on this show. I'll just say it that way. Tell you what. Just dabbling. And it's, I'm with you. My head just wants to break. Just, just talking about it. And you talk about live chat there on the YouTube side.
