The reason I'm so comfortable with it is I started studying it many, many years ago. Selfishly, initially because I was trying to figure out how I could make new cartilage for my banged up knees. After five knee surgeries, I don't ski or snowboard anymore. Stopped playing basketball a long time ago and take it easy on my knees. But I thought, oh, if I figured out how to do this, it could get some cartilage for me. So there's still an opportunity for that through relationships we have, but that's, that's a whole different shows.
