It's funny because at the heart of all of your messages, Cody, is this sort of deep

optimism and belief that one can just kind of bend the world.

And I say this because, you know, whenever we're talking about this hypothetical young

person, everything is kind of just, yeah, just go ask this person to do this and da-da-da-da-d-and.

And I was just, as you're saying that, I was thinking, I resonate with that because I was that

I know we're going to do it in three weeks, but we're going to do it in 24 hours. He would get them all riled up and then they would ship it in 24 hours. And after the 24 hours were done, they would kind of be like, you know, coming out from a blackout, like, what just happened? How did he talk me into that?
