Everybody loves a comeback story, but what happens when your team pulls it off while shorthanded and the “experts” are already writing the obituary? We jump straight into Minnesota Timberwolves playoff talk, how depth actually shows up in real minutes, and why this run feels built on grit instead of hype. We break down the Denver series, the energy shift when Anthony Edwards is available, and what changes when you go from facing Nikola Jokic to dealing with Victor Wembanyama at the rim.

From there, we get into the stuff that makes fans lose their minds: injuries and officiating. We talk Achilles injuries, calf strains, and why sitting out at the right time can save a season. Then we zoom out on playoff whistles in both the NBA and NHL, because the regular-season rulebook turning into a different sport doesn’t make games better, it just makes them messier. All we want is consistency, whether it’s moving screens, arm extensions, or the obvious hockey no-call that swings momentum.

We also recap our Nashville trip with the heat, the Broadway bar crawl, Old Smoky, Topgolf, and the kind of expensive dinner you barely remember the next day. Then it’s back to real-life building: sauna rental upgrades, marketing discipline, liability insurance, garage heater installs, and the auction rabbit hole. Stick around for the golf detour too, where we argue with ChatGPT’s course rankings and start building a Minnesota golf list for the season.

We’re Back And Life Got Busy

SPEAKER_03

Welcome back to the Boss Two Boys. We took some time off due to a trip that we were both on to Narshville. And Tony had a party at his house. And yeah, life. Got a new job. Got a new job. Life in general. Well, same company. It's a different job, same company. Yeah. So we've been busy watching the Timberwolves dominate. Let's go. I think today we'll start with that. Last night's game. Well, first round of the playoffs, they they beat the Denver Nuggets four games to two without the last few games without their probably their best three players. I would say. Yeah. With Edwards out, DiVincenzo ripping his Achilles, and then DeSumo out with a calf injury, hoping not to completely pull his Achilles. Yeah. So, I mean, beating it beating them was really awesome. I think it kind of showed the league where we're at as a team. We are the deepest team in the NBA. We mean business. There's there's no doubt about that. I think the the the big you could call it surprise was DeSumo with the 43 points in that game. And then the next when he was out, then you had Terrence Shannon Jr. blow up for like 24. And then Jaden McDaniels obviously had a great series. Shannon is fast as fuck boy. Yeah, he is. He is speedy. And then go Gobert kind of made Jokic Jokic's bitch. Sad to say. Yeah. I I'm I'm wondering where all these so-called NBA experts and sports analysis people, where are they all now after they said that the Tim Rovers would be swept, we'd lose in five. You know, especially after Edwards and DiVincenzo went out, they didn't give us a fucking chance. And now we beat Denver, and then last night, game one of the semifinals, we beat San Antonio. The next team that they said would sweep the Timberwolves, that they have no chance. And I know it's only game one.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, and I have I will say Rudy was a little not up to the game. Not as effective.

SPEAKER_03

But he's not gonna be effective this series because they don't have a Jokic. Wemby is not the same player.

SPEAKER_01

No, he's not. But I just feel like I'm gonna criticize the Frenchman a little bit on that one because he every time he got the ball, he could go up and shoot, and then he just stood there and he looked around like, what am I supposed to do with the ball?

SPEAKER_03

Well, and to give Wembanyama his credit, oh absolutely Wembinama. The dude's 7'4. And he is ignorant.

SPEAKER_01

He is an aggressive 7-4. He's not like a clumsy 7-4.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah, he's not like a giraffe on ice.

SPEAKER_01

He is an aggressive 7-4.

SPEAKER_03

And he got 12 blocks, but I love the fact that they went at the rim anyway. Oh, absolutely. Shan went to the rim. I loved that shit. We know he's gonna get blocks. Yep. You can't block everything. Yep. And I think their experience showed, I think that having Ant out there for game one definitely picked up the rest of the team. Absolutely. I think that was key. That was huge. He even said it towards the end of the game. Well, at the end of the game after they ended it. He said, like, I didn't play very well. Like, yeah, I had two turnovers at the end of the game. I allowed three offensive rebounds. I can play better. Yeah. Which is awesome to hear. So now going into game two down there, if they can win game two and steal both of them in San Antonio.

SPEAKER_01

Imagine we sweep holy fucking shit. We got two home games, and then we could sweep them. If we win game two, there's chance. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

I don't obviously if we don't win game two, we can't sweep them, but so my thought is what do you do when DeSumo's ready to play again? You can't sit Shannon. You can't. No. Who do you sit? I don't know. Connolly LC less court. Yeah, I mean, an ant came off the bench, obviously. So I I mean, I don't know how they're gonna do that. And I and people can say what they want about Mike Connolly. He's old, he's slow. The dude knows what he's doing, he's a leader, and that's what they need. Yeah, and I think with his presence, I think has helped out a ton.

SPEAKER_01

Pay the man, even if it's to be near the bench, pay the man.

SPEAKER_03

Pay the motherfucker, and then you know, and we had a conversation with one of our friends about it, and he's like, Well, we already have Joe Ingalls. Well, there's nothing wrong with having both of them for how deep we are right now. If you can have Engels and Connolly, they can both still play. Laura Engels, Joe, Joe, Yosef. Oh, Yosef. Yosef Ingalls. I just think having them both on the bench is just gonna help. Like the experience, the veteran leadership, for how young we are. I think it's really gonna help. I know Randall's gotta play better offensively, I think, to win. He's a 19-9 guy. You're gonna have to put him on Wemby. I mean, that's the other thing. We are so so much bigger. Even without Rudy, McDaniels is six ten, Nas is six ten. We've got some massive. Randall's six ten. Ant is six five, six, six, six seven. Six even. Shannon's six five, DeSumo's six five. I mean, we can run with that. And I I I really do think they have a chance on getting past San Antonio. I really, really do. Absolutely. I just want to know where all these people are at that said that the Timberwolves don't have a chance.

SPEAKER_01

I I want to I want to hear them now. People I don't know why people didn't take them seriously as Western Conference Finals. Two years in a row. The last two years they've been there. Yeah. So how can you not take that seriously?

SPEAKER_03

I just don't see it.

SPEAKER_01

Especially with you know Anthony Edwards and we have depth, like you said. Oh my god. We have such a talented team.

SPEAKER_03

When Ant went down, I could understand saying that well, Ant and Di Vincenzo with both of them going down in the way that they did in the same game, and we got our asses kicked in that game. Oh, absolutely.

SPEAKER_01

And then that was more of like a mental thing, I think. I 100% agree. We obviously came back without them and beat the shit out of the Mavericks. I 100% agree. But losing those two guys probably just drug on the whole team during the game. Yeah, that's why we didn't get the dub.

SPEAKER_03

Well, and it's it's demoralizing. It is watched, I mean, even Chenza went down like 45 seconds into the game or something like that.

Why Achilles Injuries Keep Happening

SPEAKER_01

And it wasn't even on that, it was a non-contact injury. He was going after his uh his own rebound. Yeah. We've talked about that before. These Achilles injuries, why are they so prominent nowadays compared to what they used to be?

SPEAKER_03

I've I mean the people are more explosive, they're you know, the shoes are different, the the training's different. Yeah, everything's more aggressive. It's it is what and there's more miles on these legs because of AAU in high school and I suppose that's a valid point.

SPEAKER_01

They are playing a lot more in their lifetime than they used to.

Playoff Officiating Needs One Standard

SPEAKER_03

So I I think that has a lot to do with it. And you know, if you have a calf strain, yeah, sit the fuck down. And that's what you have a calf strain. That's what DeSumo's doing. Like, and I'm so happy that he's doing that. I'm I'm proud of the kid for for not going out there and risking it. Yeah. And look at what Jason Tatum did for for Boston. I mean, he had he tore his Achilles in his other leg last year, and he came back now, and he had calf soreness in his other one. Yeah. And he's like, nah, I'm good. Nah. So the other thing, like, I've been watching these games, and I watch a lot of like the other playoff teams, and I was talking to your father-in-law about this. Like, the the officiating in the playoffs is such a 180 from regular season. Yeah. And I I think that there's there's that also with injuries, like you get bumped around, you get pushed, you get elbowed, and I just want to see some consistency. It's a little more aggressive play.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, consistency would be nice, though.

Nashville Heat Broadway Bars And Tabs

SPEAKER_03

I'm fine with aggressive play. I'm I really, really am. Because that's that's what basketball is, and it's an aggressive game, and you know, it's these guys are huge and they're strong and they're fast and all that other stuff. All I want you to do is be consistent. Oh, yeah. And I'm probably gonna watch, I want to watch the Lakers and Oklahoma City because I want to see how these refs are gonna do SGA and LeBron. Because if there's one person in the league that gets more calls than anybody, it's Shay. It's SGA. Gillis Alexander and doesn't get those calls. Brunson gets a lot of them for the Knicks, but other than that, you don't see a lot of it going on. So I'm definitely gonna watch a lot closer to officiating and how things are going. Because moving screens are fucking terrible. That Denver series, you've got Jokic going to set a screen for Murray and he's sticking his ass out and then he's shimmying back a little bit. Come on, man. And and towards the end, they kind of they called more of it, and then they called a lot more of the offensive arm extension in that last game. So it's nice to see, but start to start to finish. You got you gotta keep that consistent. Absolutely. You really, really do. Also, another topic we were gonna talk about today. Our time in Nashville. Right. Fucking hot. It was beautiful. It was beautiful, it was hot, but it was beautiful. Went to a lot of bars, went to downtown. I've that's the most I've been downtown Nashville ever. Oh, nice. Since I've ever been going there. And I've been going there for a very long time. You go there a lot. Not to say that I didn't enjoy it, but by day two and a half.

SPEAKER_01

Oh, I was done. I was born. I don't even remember half the places we were, mainly because I drank a lot, but and there's so many places. There's so much to do. I just I looked through my pictures today, actually, and I'm like, don't remember that one. Have no idea about that one. The place we ate for dinner was fantastic. Yeah, I barely remember dinner. That 1230 club. I spent$170 on a steak and I barely remember eating it. It was really good. I remember the seafood tower. That looked good. I had some shrimp off that. That was good. But one of our other friends got the that is definitely the most expensive dinner I've ever paid for. Really? Well, yeah, I suppose. Ashley's and I bill was like$530. But my steak was$180. She got a steak that was like$87.

SPEAKER_03

That's what my wife got to, and I got the ravioli that was like$40.

SPEAKER_01

E and I split that seafood tower, and that was like$170. Plus, we got the bread. Oh, yeah. We didn't get the bread. Ashley got that bread appetizer, and then we got the dessert. That dessert was fantastic. The dessert was fantastic.

SPEAKER_03

What was your from what you can remember, what was your favorite thing? I liked your favorite place that we went. I liked the stage. For the bar?

SPEAKER_01

Yeah. Yeah, that's the bar.

SPEAKER_03

That's probably one of my favorite ones. They always have good music there. And that's what I like.

SPEAKER_01

That was huge. What was that other what's the bar with the bull in it and beer pong? That was fun too. Man.

SPEAKER_03

I don't know. I don't remember. I don't remember the name of it. But I always liked the stage. I went into Legends for a little bit. I was in Tootsie's for quite a while. Tootsies is fun. We we did go there. I wasn't impressed with the band that we were listening to there, though. Tootsie's? Yeah. Got me.

SPEAKER_01

I really wasn't. I remember being at Tootsie's, no idea what music was playing.

SPEAKER_03

That just it wasn't it wasn't that it wasn't what I remember Tootsie's music being. Although as you go higher in Tootsie's, from what I remember in my time being down there, the the further up you go, the further levels you go, the talent of the band increases. Decreases decreases. Like their main floor is where they want them the best band, which I understand. Absolutely. I think we went to what Morgan Wallins bar like three times. Yeah. Definitely don't have to go there ever again. No. Why did we go that much? I don't know.

SPEAKER_01

Wasn't my idea. Mine either.

SPEAKER_03

I liked Old Smokies. That place was. Oh, that was awesome. That was fun.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, that was another highlight place. That was that was a lot of fun.

SPEAKER_03

And they have obviously we have old smoky like whiskey here, bourmin or whatever you want to call it, at our local liquor stores, but I don't think I've ever seen the pickles there before. Oh yeah. Do they have them there?

SPEAKER_01

At the old smokey. At the keyboard. Oh, I don't know. I know they have the fruit. Yep. They have the cherries.

SPEAKER_03

I'll have to talk to the owner and see if he can get those pickles in there. Get those pickles in there. And that that Airbnb you guys were at was pretty nice.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah, it was it wasn't bad. No. It was not bad.

SPEAKER_03

Colder than hell from according to the females. Keep it cold. I like to keep it cold.

SPEAKER_02

We had DJ Rillo for a while. Who is that?

SPEAKER_03

I don't know what she's singing the national anthem.

SPEAKER_01

We are we have the wild game on. She's either singing the national anthem or deep throating the microphone.

SPEAKER_03

Well, to each their own, I guess. Did you watch game one of this series?

SPEAKER_01

Dallas Wild? Watched when we were tied for a brief moment, and then I fell asleep and I woke up and we lost nine to five or something. Nine to six. Nine to six. There was 15 goals scored by 14 different people.

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. That's insane. That's crazy.

SPEAKER_00

But I woke up and I was like, shit, we lost.

SPEAKER_03

But that's the other thing that we were kind of watching off and on down there was the Wild series with Dallas. Yeah. And holy shit, were there some questionable no no-calls, some questionable calls.

SPEAKER_01

Oh yeah. When a guy gets his head bashed into the ice with a stick, he should probably make a call.

Freezing Softball And A First Homer

SPEAKER_03

Good lord. The consistency in officiating is just it's bad in hockey too. I just don't get it. I don't understand. I you know, you want to make the game fun for the fans to watch, but that's not fun to watch at all. No, especially when it's your team. Did you get to watch some high school softball yesterday? I did. Yeah.

SPEAKER_01

I did. It was frigid. Yeah. It was stupid cold and windy. 40 degrees outside, 30 mile an hour wind. Super windy. Super cold. Nothing too out of the ordinary. No. They won. They give they got the dub. They almost gave it up in the last inning as normal Chisholm teams do. The coach and I were talking about that. We were like, yep, sounds like Chisholm. Basketball, volleyball, softball. It's all the same. They get a lead, they get comfortable, and then pretty typical. Yeah.

SPEAKER_03

Pretty typical. Nina hit her first over-the-fence home run last week. First, yeah, yeah. First ding dong. That was pretty cool. Did you read the paper article?

SPEAKER_00

I did not read it. I saw the picture.

SPEAKER_03

So in the article, it says Cherries, Nina Anderson.

SPEAKER_00

Well, that's funny, man. You went to Cherry.

SPEAKER_03

I did. But neither team was Cherry. Yeah. She hit it against Misabi East. Who wrote that article? Jimmy. Oh, nice. Jimmy, figure your shit out. So he did that, and then he spelt one of the other girls' names wrong. A-U-A-V-Y-A. Oh, wow. Yeah. I've never turned that one. Butchered. That's impressive. So that was that was another thing.

Get People’s Names Right At Work

SPEAKER_01

But one of the one of the one of the people at work. Several of the people at work actually like to call me Anthony, even though I sign all of my emails Antonio. They still call me Anthony. How long have you worked there? Ten years almost. And the people that I'm close with know that it pisses me off, so they'll do it on purpose just because they know it pisses me off. But the people that don't know me that well, I don't understand. Like if somebody what's a good what's a good comparison? Well, let's go opposite. If somebody signs their email Anthony, that'd be equivalent to them saying Antonio. Yeah. That'd be like somebody just calling me Antonio. Antonio. It's like, no. Not even close. No, not even close. I'm trying I was trying to think of like a more simplistic name, like not even close. Yeah. I don't know.

unknown

Anyway.

SPEAKER_01

Developed like a hook. And and on top of that, they they do the single R, single L of my last name all the time. At work? Yeah. Well, they I I just don't understand. Some people listen, my dad is not one to be picky about spelling. Yeah, he is. But when you're dealing with other people's names or in a professional environment and you're not going to proofread your your emails, that's bad. I mean that's unprofessional. Well, yeah, and I'm not trying to be an English teacher at all, but it's a respect. At the same time, it's like if you're in a position of authority or you have a respected position at work, like you should be able to write an articulate correct email and use people's names correctly. That was a random ass rant, but that I just got the email today, so that's that's why it was on my mind.

Rebuilding Sauna Rentals And Getting Insured

SPEAKER_03

It's also valid rant, if you ask me. What's going on in the sauna business for you?

SPEAKER_01

I have not the slightest idea. I'm gonna work on tearing down one of the one of the rentals to rebuild a little bit better. Just using the same material. I just have a different design in mind. So God fucking bitch. I'm gonna um I'm gonna I'm gonna just kinda I'm gonna rebuild it in a way that makes it more sturdy, I guess you'd say. Easier to haul, easier to pull. Easier to pull because I'm gonna build it back on the trailer instead of front on the trailer, so most of the weight will be right on the axles, so that'll be easier, won't sag my truck as much. Plus, the one that I'm rebuilding, I must have transcribed or fucked up one of the measurements in my head because the ceiling's about two inches lower than I wanted it to be. So like when I sit on the top bench, it my head's on the ceiling. Normal people won't have that problem, but we're not as large. And then yeah. Oh! Hey! Let's go! I think those could I think we're gonna score 20 goals this game.

unknown

Fuck.

SPEAKER_01

Less than three minutes in, it's already one to one. Well, that works. Anyway, there's there's some things I want to try with this one. I'm gonna re I'm gonna remill the lumber for the sidewalls into tongue and groove so it's a sturdier wall. I'm probably gonna swap the end walls from vertically oriented to horizontally oriented, and then I have some better shielding, some better shielding for the wood stove. Other than that, in the sound of business, I really just need to get on marketing again because that's where I'm I'm like, I I if I post, it it's directly correlated. My my social media activity directly correlates with my customer activity. The more I post on social media, the more customer interest I get, the more the more c contacts I get. The less I post on social media, the less customers I get, the less contacts I get, which makes sense. Yeah, that that's pretty valid. And it doesn't take a lot to post on social media. I just I don't know. My weird brain always makes it like, oh, it has to be perfect, or oh, it has to be the right time, or oh, it has to be the right thing, or whatever it might be. But yeah. And then I'm just looking to get. I I need to get insurance, just liability insurance on the rentals. I had I had like a national like big brand insurance for a little while last winter while I was renting them, but I want to get like a year-round liability insurance, business insurance. Probably not a bad I mean just in case something happens, you always want to be covered. I don't want to bankrupt myself with this little sauna experiment that I'm doing. Oh there is a sauna festival in June that I'm attending in Embarrass. When in June? I think the 26th.

SPEAKER_03

Okay.

SPEAKER_01

I believe.

SPEAKER_03

Well I'm glad you didn't say the 20th because that's uh that's Gavin's grad party? Grad party.

SPEAKER_01

Yeah I'll be there. No it's the 26th. I got an email from the organizer and he wants me to bring a sauna up so that would be cool. And then I've several everybody I talk to that has built several saunas or you know I I make contacts with people that are that have been building saunas and done trial and error before and I I learned that using like an actual concrete type material on the floor on top of OSB flooring is is very very favorable and possible. So on the permanent saunas that I build for people that is gonna be the primary floor material where I put the subfloor down and then just put a barrier and then pour like a thin set concrete on the top of it.

SPEAKER_02

That's not a bad idea.

Projects Heaters And The Auction Rabbit Hole

SPEAKER_03

Yeah. Yeah we we both need to do a little better job with social media stuff. I know I've been kind of slacking in that whole area. Yeah I guess you could say whether it be with the podcast or with the sound of stuff. It's just with with how busy the two of us can get with everything going on. Yeah makes it tough but it just you know I've been trying to get this office done for my wife in our basement for a while now and I think once I get everything down there and fucking done I'm gonna be able to I have a place where I can go work. Yeah. You know what I mean? Like I have a designated area where all my shit is yeah that I can sit down and just grind for as long as I need to.

SPEAKER_01

Yep. And I got I'm gonna finish up the beanbag boards that I'm building this week for a customer and then I need to reach out to the other customers that want the the river bar the epoxy river bar yeah because I'd like to get started on that. Although I will say I do need it to be consistently 60 degrees oh to do that in order to do that. Yeah and I could heat my garage again I got a new I got a new heater. You see it oh where on the table over there oh yeah yeah it's a hanging one yep I want one of those too in my garage look at let me know there I got that one for like 180 bucks really auction no shit yeah wow and then that other hanging one that's the other one that's hanging off the garage door that one I got for like 60 bucks and that's a radiant so because I think what I want to do is I want to do it in the garage and probably in the shack to take that fireplace out. Yeah one of those one of those in the shack would be perfect. Yep yep and then the blower one in the garage that's what I was thinking. But yeah I had it going last night I tested both of them last night just to make sure they work because you never know they're both brand new like box returns. Right. One was I think the hanging one was a scratch like the main one I think was a scratch indent because the the mounting brackets were a little bit dented but cosmetic only in the it's possible that somebody returned it because the fan was off balance but one of the blades was just slightly bent and I bent it back into place and it fixed it. So I don't I don't know if somebody had it they tried it and it was wobbly so they returned it or if it was missing parts or what but it it's a nice heater. It's I think MSRP is like 900 bucks. Oh wow that's just I had to pay like I think I paid like 70 bucks for shipping so round up to like 350 bucks but still a third of the price of a normal one. That ain't bad. That ain't bad at all the only thing I have to buy is the the venting to go outside and then I'll have it mounted but yeah I'm excited for that because it's you know how my old ones sounded yeah these are quiet quiet that other the hanging radiant one is completely silent almost and that's gonna be like I'm gonna have that like a temporary hanger right there and it it'll hang at like head level and then you can put a fan there or whatever but that sounds fun. I had fun taking the old heater out and apart I just wish I could have unlimited funds and just buy shit and resell it like buy shit fix it and resell it that would be my dream job. So do you ever go on the do you have the app called WhatNot? No.

SPEAKER_03

It's an auction app I I know what whatnot is it's it's fucking dangerous. Yeah it's I would probably not be good with although it can't be worse than these auctions that I look at online maybe you don't know you don't know you don't even know me. Maybe I should get whatnot I think you should I think you'd have a blast with it personally you can get golf shit you can get there's all sorts of shit on there I need to delete it off my phone because I'm gonna get myself in trouble real bad that'd be the problem at least with these online auctions a lot of them are far away and there's only select items have shipping on them.

SPEAKER_01

Although the one that I do follow regularly is they have shipping on most most of their items. Oh really yeah it's called Savage Surplus they're my they're my go to so when you're on an auction site what do you what are you looking for?

SPEAKER_03

Like what do you have for advice?

SPEAKER_01

Anything I'm interested in basically if you if if you need something obviously look for what you need. You have they have search capability you can type in whatever you're looking for. I my hobby is just scrolling the interwction sites for anything that I think is either going to be useful to me or anything that I think I might be able to make money on by reselling flipping or fixing and a lot of the stuff is not going to be able to be flipped or resold just because there are people like me out there who will pay more money for it because it's worth more to them as their own than it would be to flip and sell to somebody else. Makes sense but if I like I said if I had unlimited resources and time I would just buy as much shit as possible on auction sites and flip it and try to sell it just because that would be fun for me. I'm jack of many expert at a couple type person and it's nice honing skills like I I'm gonna do the axles on my old truck this summer I do HVAC I've I've done enough HVAC jobs where I'm pretty good at HVAC. Yeah I did two I did a furnace air conditioner in my old house I did furnace air conditioner in this house now I'm doing garage I did a couple garage heaters in a couple buddies fuck garages and now I'm doing these heaters in my garage I have to reroute the gas line a little bit so I can get it more organized over there. And I really really really want to this summer if I had unlimited time and resources I'd rip out all the underlayment from my crawl space I'd reduct my entire HVAC system for the house and then I'd put new insulation in but I don't have unlimited time and resources so that's probably not going to happen this summer. Yeah and that can that job can turn into a week from a weekend job into a a month several weeks job yeah regardless it'll be a it'll be a month long job but it's two to one two to one well I mean we have a tendency to score right after they score so we'll see hence the fuck so we shall see so I want to go do you want a ooh an Italian cilanti piano accordion no thank you bid's only$17 right now you could poker the shit out of that no thank you what about Native American Pueblo style ceremony drum I might have to take that out is that racist no it was just impersonating if at the most it's cultural appreciation appreciation appropriation it's appreciation I used to go to powwows all the time as a kid with my grandparents the fried bread is so good so I want to see if you can name the top ten golf courses in the United States according to chat GPT according to chat GPT what are the top ten this is a this is gonna be fun because there's a lot of potentials here according to chat GPT is interesting though because I don't know what ChatGPT is going to use as criteria.

SPEAKER_03

Well and we don't we won't do it like in order from like 10 to 1.
