Yeah. They are beating the drums, they are singing, dancing, and for the most part, it's a beautiful ritual. But when you've just suffered the most devastating loss of your life, it doesn't feel very good. So they have to come through the lobby, you know, to get to their rooms. And so we have to cross each other. And it truly felt like throwing salt in a fresh wound. Jules, and thinking back to some of, like, the harder moments of my career, could you imagine if we had booked a house on Airbnb? If we had the option to, like, stay as a team in one house? How fun that would have been, Jules. We would have had our own kitchen, and maybe U.S. soccer would have hired a chef for us, maybe would have had a pool, a sauna, a cold plunge, and most importantly, I think a place to cry in peace. Honestly, thinking about my friends and family, too, who traveled in for these big sporting events, it would have been so convenient and more cost effective to have them all staying in a house booked on Airbnb, too. So I wish I could travel back in time to tell my family to host their own homes on Airbnb while they were traveling the world to watch us play. And it's a practical way to earn some extra income and make use of your space while you're away. Maybe girls playing now and their families can learn from our mistakes. Your home might be worth more than you think. Find out how much on Airbnb.com host okay, Jules, so here's the thing that nobody tells you when you start a business like we have. They say, you know, do it yourself, everything turns out great. But here's the thing. Doing it yourself means doing everything yourself. And it's hard and unsustainable, which is why QuickBooks has become literally a game changer for people like us. QuickBooks gives you an actual team, AI agents and trusted experts. So doing it yourself no longer means doing it alone. And I love that, because it really does feel like finally get getting the support that you assumed everyone else has except you. The customer agent that finds leads, follows up, and helps you bring in more sales. The accounting agent that automates and categorizes transactions and preps your books for tax time without you losing an entire weekend. And the best part, Jules, is that everything works together all in one. Connected, data, accurate books. Real insight, Jules. You're not just juggling eight different tools and guessing. You're actually making informed decisions with confidence. And if you are like me, I was not trained in finance. I played soccer, right? Ditto QuickBooks. It saves my life. I swear. It's like every time we have to file taxes, I'm like, thank God for this service, because I would have absolutely no idea. Outdoit with Intuit. QuickBooks. Learn more about Intuit.
