Hugh. I think we've all seen the recent news with the Michael Orr situation. Obviously, we know your connections to it. Have you spoken to either the, or, or Michael? Yeah. Listen, II, I love Michael Orr. He's like, uh, part of our family and I, I love the two and I, I just, I think it's, uh, sad and I certainly don't claim to understand all the ins and outs of, uh, adoption conservatory, all of that. But I, I know what I witnessed and I witnessed *** family that, um, that, um, totally took in *** young man and I think without, uh, that there's no, uh, there's, there is no story. Um, and I sure hope it can. Um, I, I know this if Michael called Sean right now and said, let's, let's work this thing out. Sean Leanne would be there in *** hurry to, to hug his neck and tell him he's loved and I hope he feels that and, and certainly I don't claim to until you walk in people's shoes. I don't, I don't claim to have all the, the answers to anything but, um, I think you will, all whatever happens will happen, of course. And I think the facts will come out. But, um, you know, I love both sides of it and, you know, uh, Sean Lee and too, he did something that probably most families, *** lot of us talk about doing things. Um, they actually put the shoes on and pull the boots up and got in the arena and, and did something and I think that's admirable.
