2022, 2021 was supposed to be the year that everything changed. Everything was great and in mid-June I kind of thought it was happening. Then it wasn't.

2:15.0

And then in some ways 2021 was worse than 2020.

2:20.0

I know. And I think it was about expectations. Yeah, right? Yeah, because after 2020 we're like, okay, that's the worst of it. We've gone through the worst.
