One thing, I, I, I'll wait till I get to her, man, but I, I really admire Regina King, man. I love Angela Bassett, uh, but these individuals have not only excelled in their fields but have planted seeds of inspiration, empowerment, and progress for generations to come. So let's start by honoring some of the lost legends, man. And, and, and I think I've said this before, and, and, and, uh, I'm staying true to what I said, man. One of my favorite of all times, bro.
