Yeah. So, you know, get, get it together. Curling. Quit. Straighten yourselves out because curl straight. You know what I mean? Thank you. Thank you guys so much. We can just clean up that edit so that on the YouTube video, it looks like everybody laughed really big. Let's go. Yeah, Good stuff. Really good stuff. Let's move on to hockey. The other ice sport, US Hockey is, is, it says in here, dominating. As somebody who's been watching all the games, I'll say they're doing well. Okay, they're doing well. The final scores are looking good. They made it out of their group. They beat Germany 51 on Sunday. They were unbeaten in the group. They clinched the second seed in the knockout round. They are set to face the winner of the qualification round game that's on Tuesday between Sweden and Latvia. And number one seed Canada will play either Czechia or Denmark in the quarterfinals on Wednesday. The USA vs Denmark game was not so fun. The first period for these USA Hockey games have not been enjoyable. As a United States fan, they've been either slow starts or versus Denmark. They were down 2:1 after the first period. Jeremy Swayman from the Boston Bruins was in net. And I don't know if you guys saw this highlight, but let in a goal that was basically shot from the red line. It was so far away, and it went in and partially. I guess if you were looking for excuses, you could blame it on the fact that the boards. I'm grateful they don't have ads. If you watch a lot of NHL hockey now, it's all ads, all the time on the boards. Isabella. That's the, like, wall around the rink. And it's annoying because sometimes there's, like, moving ads, and you're like, is that the puck? It's like, no, that's a ad for, like, SAP. I'm like, I don't even know what that is. But for the Olympics, they were. It's, like, solid colors, but it's a dark color. So I guess if you needed to make an excuse for your dear, sweet goalie who did not get the start in the third game, it's that the puck could get lost in that. And maybe you don't see it against a black background. Like, the boards used to be white. And I feel like that was for a reason. But we aren't making excuses. I also saw two players skate into each other. Nobody from the other team anywhere near them. Two United States players just crossing, crashing into each other in the middle of the ice. So I feel like USA has got a couple kinks to work out before they make it into further rounds of this hockey tournament. But they did win. And if you're looking at the scores, you're like, it's 5 1. They beat Germany. Like, what do you want, lady? And I want more. You know, I want. I want what Canada had. Canada beat France 10 to 2. I want that. We deserve that. The United States has been, like, playing down to their competition in a way that's frustrating. It's almost as frustrating as having to cheer for The Kachuks. I'm having such a hard time rooting for Matthew and Brady Tkachuk on account of I hate them. And it's one of the harder things about NHL players being back in the Olympics now. It's like you're seeing ones you like on teams that aren't yours and ones you don't like on your team. And so I don't like that. And I just wanted to say if anyone out there feels that way, I'm with you. All right. The women are crushing and cruising the United States women's hockey team. Unbelievable. They look like so much better than everybody else. They beat Sweden in the semifinals today. So Monday, five nothing. They've scored five goals in every game. At least they will face Canada or Switzerland in the gold medal game on Thursday. And I believe the United States men, if they face Canada, it will be in the gold medal match. There's no opportunity to see them before then, so that's exactly how it should be. It's what you want. You want the finals to be USA Canada, and. And hopefully that's what we get. We also got a fight in the Canada France game, which is so silly. But, Brady, aren't you, like, a big Tom Wilson guy?
