Give you your ass, hold on. You're about to give it to you. You just get on on on. Now, we ain't got a hold on. Mike's is on. We hot, we hot. We hot. We hot. We're hot. We're happy to have y'all here. Pierre had brought up, uh, what did you say again, Pierre? I really, Pierre said he's a hater and he competes with his girl because he's a hater, because that's what haters do. He said they compete in relationship.
