And then this homeless dude jumped in front of us and started And then so after— now you, you've won— tell us how many majors you've won. 75. It doesn't even seem humanly possible that you've been in 75 majors when there's only 4 a year and you're only— you're 19. 19. So mathematically, you've been winning majors since the time you were In fact, we're here to talk about our newest product, and I don't want to— I don't want to take all the credit for it because you really came up with it. Tell everyone what our new product is. This is that you can bring any place where there's a lot of germs and everything. Everybody's really germ-conscious. You put this on your seat and you sit down and it protects you from everybody out there. Yes, that's exactly what it does. That's exactly what it does. But, but the better part of this is the name that you came up with. We call this the— Germ Free. Germ Free. The Germ Free Seat Cover. So whenever you put this on your seat, it completely protects your ass and other parts of your body from any of those harmful germs that are gonna try to infiltrate this. So once upon a time, one word. I went to the store and bought a car because it was amazing. And by living in Vietnam all those years, you found, you found one key to their culture, which is flags.

For the final session of the day, Cardin heads over to the media center to get prepared for an examination where the emphasis is on personality rather than pace and power. Go ahead and get loose and start to, start to find that confident body language that you're gonna have when you walk in through the door. You want to be able to be in there confident but with a bit of just kind of relaxation of who you are, not too uptight and not too serious. You know, this is a serious interview, but at the same time you can't go in there and and be uptight and not be able to kind of show the personality you have as a player. So we drove all the way— we'll make that one. All the way, all the way. I like that. To Longboat Springs and a Time. The end.
