Adam, uh, you were part of that group coming up on six months ago that went to the White House to meet with the president, the PIF. I’m just curious, has there been any or or what’s the communication been like from the group or from on high about like, hey, what are the next steps here? Um, is there a a want for another meeting? And then, uh, another question too, you were involved with with Brian’s hiring as the new CEO. So I’m curious just about maybe one characteristic about him that stood out that really you really like that you are looking forward to seeing from him. Yeah, I mean obviously there’s not much happening uh between you know I don’t I don’t know if more White House visits are really necessary. Um but it it was really quite an experience I have to say. you know, um I I don’t I haven’t, you know, those conversations haven’t advanced far from there and with Brian stepping in, you know, that’s a lot of that’s going to fall onto his desk now. So, I think that he needs some time to kind of really get up to speed and understand what’s going on with that. Um, and yeah, I mean, look, his credentials are obviously excellent on paper. But um you know I a few um things that I really liked about Brian, but I I think like his his personality from the little bit that I know of it like this calmness uh to him. I I know he’s really excited to take on this role going forward, but he has a very calm nature about him. And uh you know to me which which was one one of the guys involved I thought I I quite liked that. You know I think uh he’s coming in at a very interesting time in the professional game and I think uh that calm demeanor is going to serve him well. We’ll go over
