Yeah, yeah, it's not easy, you know, And just when you think you've got it, someone beat you to it. Yeah. There were two that I had and I was just late. Yep, And that's that's part of

the game. That was a tough list, too, tough combo tough list. That makes it more different, put more pressure on you, knowing that someone's going to get this. I got to get a quick and then it back. Well, what do we have two or three where you guys jumped the gun. Were a person who rang in and got it wrong would have been the first one to get it right if they just wait, that's part of the strategy and you don't know. I just got a fire once right.

It's great game. It's great game. Was excellent. Timing was previous perfect. It was the previous call. Yeah, yeah, it was it's the that I normally keep myself, which is great, which is great.

I'm glad they didn't. Your canal was fantastic too, I say, down sauce, Alan, did you go

with the strategy of as things came to you? Were you writing down? Did you have a strategy coming in? I tried to just block everything out and not look at people or closing my eyes didn't really help. I wrote down some things, but I don't know that a lot came to me off the bat either. I'm glad you got I chart because that would have I think probably pissed you off a little bit that you put that out in the ether. Yeah, and then from that's got to be the worst ranging in.

I thought he was passively gonna say I charted like I charted and just steal it from you, so too, And then he didn't say anything. What happened an extra credit? I thought it was extra credit again. The numbers, the letters, I don't know. I get like I couldn't get extra credit and uh yeah you couldn't. Yeah, and what was the other one? Uh CT center and emergency content. He says, we played this so many times. You just try and force them in where you're like,

well that will work. The thanks Barnes. Yeah, I was. I was with Hawk I had I thought nothing was gonna and then when you started it just ever things started coming in. Yeah, when you were the one that was ended up being executive chef, I was thinking, it's somebody you know in charge, and all I kept thinking is executive chair.
