Yeah. Yeah. Well, I'm excited so much to dive into today. I am so excited to talk to you about arguments, how we master arguments and Communication and the tools that we can apply to master arguments. You talk about, you know, one of the most powerful ways to diffuse an argument, the one phrase that shuts down a toxic conversation. And I want to ask you about three tools, though, that you. That you teach, that I think are so powerful. You know, your new book, the Next Conversation that I've read, cover to cover, it is just packed. Packed with things we can apply to our life right. Right now. But I want to ask you about specifically, you know, when it comes to mastering arguments and conversations, because we all have them, and some of us have them but avoid them. Some of us don't want to deal with them. Some of us don't know how. Some of us let them take us down. Some of us let them, you know, feel deeply personal. We don't know how to handle them. Maybe we didn't learn from our parents or we didn't learn from how we were raised or, you know, school. And, you know, I think that these are the tools that can fundamentally change all the relationships in your life. And so three tools you talk about when it comes to mastering arguments and conversations. Can you talk about conversational breath, quick scan, and a small talk?
