This whole stablecoin thing is like, hey. If you if Tether's gonna be buying treasuries of The United States, or Circle is doing that, we need to have this be regulated because these things are getting big. People like digital money. People like being able to trade in money quickly. Now they'll, in their defense, say, well, we can track everything. Therefore, that's better than, you know, bricks of $100 bills.

I'm fantastic, and I'm absolutely blown away that my lack of a collared shirt has not yet gotten me public censure from you. Oh, really? Are you oh, you know what? You look good. You look good, and that's all that matters. Kids, life, dry cleaning, it's all part of the process. That is exactly it. But I did actually go ahead and buy more of those shirts that you recommended. So hopefully in the future, we won't have this problem. But Collars and Co. This is, the Sprint. Yeah. Yeah. And they what I like about it also with the travel is I have these, like, $400 shirts. I bought an $800 shirt once from Tom Ford, $400 shirts from Eton. They're all great. Yeah. But what I like about this, collars and co shirt is they put extra material on the collars and on the frontier to make it a bit more stiff.
