Joining us to do so, one of the finest podcasters of his generation. Absolutely not. No. From Blank Check, David Sims. Let's go. And the winner. Yes. The winner of the most recent draft. That's right. Yeah. Here for your victory lap. We didn't plan this, but we sort of did. Well, we planned like a week of us all together. Yes. Like we're having, this is my second of four encounters.

And I'm like, nothing. It's just glory. Just, you know. A 12 block walk to a bar that you did not enter. That's what you run. I, that was, that's, look, man, that's some jams.
