So for those who are watching the video feed, because people might be confused and they might think that they've accidentally ingested something on a Saturday morning when all of a sudden everyone's doing something different. But but you guys are because you're gonna play a couple of live songs for us today, which we're very excited about.
Speaker 1: But but you actually switch instruments, which I think is cool. But I think should we start, maybe we should play one of the studio tracks and then uh, because you got a couple of brand new studio tracks, right, And then when we come back from that, we'll we'll hear one of the one of the live ones. How does that sound?
Speaker 2: That sounds awesome?
