some neat little objects. It's mostly the little neat objects that I like. Yeah. All right. I think this is I have a million more questions, but we I mean, look, I've got 15 more minutes if you want to go or or or No, I'll take you up. Let's do it. Let's do it. Let's do it. Do you ever think about your legacy? No, I don't even I hate that idea. Why? There you don't have a legacy. There's no legacy. I I just don't You have a legacy. Of course, you have a legacy. I I don't whatever it is, whatever is left over and people like or don't like or whatever that is what it's going to be. But it's it's just I do things now. I do things for now.

Otherwise, there's no reason to do it because you're up against every all the odds. Everything's pushing back at you. Every force is saying you're not going to make it cuz you most likely aren't. So, you have to at least believe that you're good at what you do and that what you're doing is important and worthwhile. Um, and you have to also be able to withstand a certain degree of of of um disbelief and but but but only you only get to the place where people push back at you once you've done something.
