Hi and welcome to the R2RB podcast Tonight. We have some special guests with us tonight. Friends vs Friends. I'm going to let each of you introduce yourselves. You tell us who you are and what you do with Friends vs Friends.
Speaker 2:Beautiful people. Hello, my name is Kyle Byrd, my initials are KB and they call me that and I just let them do it. So I'm one of the guys who's on this podcast and I tell a bunch of jokes and I order wings right after the episode is done.
Speaker 3:What's going on? What's going on? Peace, peace, peace. Yo, this is Atten Shara, aka Statman. I'm the one that gets made fun of by a few people from giving the nonsense facts and news and information that people would be like where do you get this from? I love it. It's a good time where I get to talk with my stuff, with my people, and it's that venture every episode.
Speaker 1:Well, we know that because we listen to it and we just never know what you might be coming up with.
Speaker 3:I appreciate it, we appreciate it.
Speaker 1:On your podcast. Oh my gosh. It's like have you listened to it, ron? Have you listened to it? Ron is faithful. He can't wait to get your podcast. He'll go through that as soon as it comes through the mail. Oh my gosh.
Speaker 2:You know, when you guys listen to that, those conversations we were having them years ago just in barbershops, in the car, going to someone's game or something. We're really just having the conversations we would have anyway. That's why it seems like that because we really are, we're just hanging out talking about it.
Speaker 1:Yeah Well, I mean, we just mentioned it, talked about organic, and so where did you all meet each other?
Speaker 2:I met JT in high school. He actually lives with us for a little bit too. His parents know my parents, that type of thing and naturally we hit it off. Even though he likes different basketball teams than I do, he likes this blue team out of North Carolina the wrong color, blue I like the crimson, the blood he likes yellow.
Speaker 2:We don't talk about it much, but that's what he's doing, I'm sure. But I met him in high school and then my guy here, the stat man. I know him as adding. This guy. I met him freshman year in college, but we were roommates.
Speaker 3:We met at orientation.
Speaker 1:Yep, and I guess that's worked out because you're still friends.
Speaker 3:Yeah, we were each other's best men in our weddings. Oh, I've had his. Three kids are my godchildren. When I have children one day, he's going to be their godfather, so yeah, I like it.
Speaker 2:I like it he helped them roll me back in school. When I went back the first time after having a family and everything I was going to, I was going to kind of walk away because I didn't get really a favorable answer from financial aid. And he went with me and I have my oldest son in a car seat so I'm like all right. Well, they said no. He was like no, wait a minute. He advocated for me in that moment and I got my stuff done that day. I was like well, that's one of the things I admire him for is because he just he digs deeper, he takes things Um, he's a tinkerer, he's a practitioner, while all the other stuff is going on behind the scenes, those steps being taken. You can count on him being the one actually taking those steps. Always admired that. I told him that he knows this and there's not enough and there's not enough people like like that.
Speaker 3:Truly appreciate it.
Speaker 1:Thank you to have that the qualities right, Absolutely. And so that kind of carried on, and we'll get to that point in a moment. So so your friends, you're out of college now. Have you in your stay in touch this whole time. You don't fall out. No.
Speaker 3:I talk almost every day.
Speaker 2:I drive for work, so sometimes I'll be getting ready to fall asleep. I call this guy or help make sure I'm good. We talk almost every day, yeah to our from work.
Speaker 1:Yeah, and so you talk basketball. You've always talked basketball. You've talked about everything else under the sun. So who came up with the concept for friends versus friends?
Speaker 4:That was JC the podcast itself.
Speaker 2:Yeah, that was JC.
Speaker 1:And did he pitch you the idea?
Speaker 3:He pitched both of us.
Speaker 2:Yeah.
Speaker 1:He got ahead in the first and did you like the idea or was it something like you know, when I pitched my idea to Ron about R2RB, he said, ah, yeah, no.
Speaker 3:Like Kyle said, we talk about basketball all the time, like we were in text messages and we're all three of us are diehard Nick fans. Like, if anyone talks about the Knicks being painfully horrible, at times we have been with the Knicks for the good, the bad, the ugly, the disgusting Right, I'm just being a Nick. It's been tough so we talk a lot and it was funny. It was like the pandemic had happened and we, we would talk from time to time, like sometimes we would, one of us would talk on the phone, the other one would talk to the other one. You know, it's like yo, like we have knowledge. We've all played basketball, we've all played sports in our lives. It's like yo, we can actually discuss this on podcast.
Speaker 3:And one day we just did a test run and we, we, we actually enjoyed it. And then we gave it to some of our friends and they asked us how many takes did it take for you all to do that? It's sound perfect. And we were like that was only our first take. We, we, we've never had to redo an episode, ever. It's only been one take and that's it.
Speaker 1:And that's not easy. So when you have a balance between all of you like that, then you have something that is very special and that you can take a conversation and text messaging and on the phone. It's not always easy then to turn it around and put it into a podcast format.
Speaker 3:Yeah, it's, it's. It's fun, because the fact that we all have our different views is like how is? He's a bigger guy? So he's like the center, he's the power forward, he's the enforcer. Jt is that shooting guard, small forward, he, he's the pretty boy. He likes to score. He likes to be flashy and stylish. Kyle likes to be dominant, like Shaq Ewing. I'm the point girl. I just like hey, I thought you all, y'all do what you do. I don't care, as long as we're winning. It's the prettiness of them doing it, it's what makes it look, makes it crazy good, but yeah, none of it. There's never been a time where we're at oh crap, we have to redo this. Oh, we don't like how someone said something. It was just like okay, we just go with it.
Speaker 1:And do you? Do you discuss what you're going to talk about prior to recording, or do you just go organic?
Speaker 3:We have topics that we talk about. We will. What we do is we have a list, like we have a lineup of what we're going to talk about, but it's not like we say, hey, this topic, I'm going to say X, Y and Z, this type of you're going to say it and all that. It's just like we just talk and we go with it. Nothing has ever preplanned.
Speaker 2:This is where our personalities and the way they work off each other and all that comes into play. I'm more of the creative. I came up with the concept for the logo, the name of it it's actually partly my name on Instagram, the merch that has been taking so long to do because I'm so scatterbrained but then that's why we have the hard worker. Adding is the networker, the guy who goes out. He goes and gets things. He's the organizer, so he writes us a list and puts in our text messages, and then I just come up and JT will say something. He knows the X's and O's, so he looks at those topics from that standpoint. I look at it from a creative standpoint and adding knows every weird detail about people where they went to school elementary school, the bathroom that they went to the most, and you know their mom's favorite pie recipe and stuff like that and her salary. He knows that stuff. So it's it works well because we all just have our position in. It doesn't even feel like a hierarchy, there's just just like a.
Speaker 1:It's an even playing field with you guys.
Speaker 2:Yeah, not that we mind working. We're all. All of us are that guy who wants to fit in on a team. We all play team sports, so sometimes it's my time to go up, sometimes it's JT is like. He usually starts the episodes and then you know we can hand it off to add in any time that we need to. It's a versatile thing. It takes a lot off of my, my chest.
Speaker 1:Sure, and that's how that's. This is why friends versus friends has gone on to become what it is, and how long have you been in production now?
Speaker 3:Almost two years now.
Speaker 1:Two years now, yeah, yeah, and each each season it gets better.
Speaker 3:Yeah.
Speaker 1:Yeah, Absolutely, Add in your stat man. I got to get to the name because I I who first called you stat man.
Speaker 3:JT.
Speaker 1:JT.
Speaker 3:Yeah, cause he started with like yo just talk about the stats and from that talking about the stats and all that. I enjoy stuff like that. Understanding, like why a player is the way he is, why teams want certain players, is like understanding like the back end, all that information. Like my, I went to school for sports management.
Speaker 3:My dream and goal was to always work for the next basketball operations president or the GM one day, or just to work in the NBA and player development or basketball operations, so like literally studying that and wanting to network with something I always wanted to do. I actually did have the opportunity to work with an NBA executive like an internship for almost a year and that actually was cool, because I actually have the opportunity to actually talk to an NBA executive and everything that was in my head. It wasn't perfect, but it was actually something I was like, oh, like that would work or oh, that's how some of them think about it, and that was an opportunity that I just never would give away in a lifetime. That's something I could always share for the rest of my life.
Speaker 1:Absolutely. What a fantastic opportunity that was. Oh my God. It was a blessing. Yeah, absolutely, and KB, do you have a nickname other than your KMB?
Speaker 2:Um, not really. I have a bunch of stuff we have about our jokes. My mom probably said I won't tell you that name, just stuff that I'm like, your wife, your wife classified coach dad. It's to the point now where it might be another little kid like dad and I turn around like what is that my first name now?
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 2:It's true, my initials I don't know, I think, my personality. I don't have a street name or anything, but you know me for certain stuff and I'm going to always understate it because I don't know. I just I want you to know what it is when you're looking at it. So, like we used to talk about on the basketball court, I don't know if you can tell, but I'm a bigger guy, right, I'm a football guy first, but I still like to play basketball and I want to be well rounded. So when me and Adam would go to courts at the school, they're thinking I'm going to be this goofy guy, but really I've done almost any every sport. I play lacrosse for two years.
Speaker 2:I've done it. So a lot of my game is by misdirection and just kind of. I'm not overly fast, but I'm lateral enough so I get into the things where I fit in. So how it works is when we come up the court I'm moving, not just not very fast, but I keep moving and then I get in someone's way and then I move out of it and Adam sees me, he passes me the ball I can shoot, but they don't know that yet. So then I add in you know how it goes.
Speaker 3:My man. There was a time at Chris like we met in Chris University. This one person was like you're picking him. And it was like, okay, bet, and that person got disrespected and he no longer touched the court because Kyle just showed him.
Speaker 2:I have a full blown protocol.
Speaker 3:Highlight tapes Ron, you're a tall guy, you're a tall guy.
Speaker 2:I'm only 5'10", I'm like Jerome Bettis. So when I come down to court I'm setting up down there, I'm running into you. Then you know you're going to jab me a little bit. I'm going to kind of float back a little bit. I'm going to play with your peripheral vision. I'm going to hop back open, get an open shot. Hopefully, after that open shot they're like all right, you just let the fat guy, the kung fu panda, hit, hit a 3 on you. So the next time that they see me doing that, here they come, they're going to block my shot. Well, I just pump faked. Now I'm going to the hole and I don't mind getting hit because I'm really and I'm still with my hands up.
Speaker 2:Well, somebody like you you're one of the guys who I kind of you know it doesn't always work. You can block a hook shot.
Speaker 4:I played a little ball myself, street ball primarily.
Speaker 2:Very carefully created with a run around watching me.
Speaker 4:Right, I ain't been on the court in many.
Speaker 2:We haven't either, please don't do that. We haven't either this guy's been coaching a football season.
Speaker 1:Well, love it Absolutely. So let me ask you something about the beginning of the podcast. You said that everything went smoothly while you were recording, but did you have any difficulties really getting it started and off the ground?
Speaker 3:Yeah, we first were on Discord oh, were you? Yeah, so our very first thing we did Discord and the Internet server. Discord wasn't really working. So then that's when we actually spoke with Gibran and Gibran elevated us from being amateurs to actually being someone that growing professionals in the game, and he cleaned up our sound. We went into his studio and that's what we knew we can actually do things. And then all of a sudden, his studio. We had had mold. Oh no, yeah. Then it went from having mold to we had to go to a new place and then that place was cool but it was a little congested and, as you know, we like, we like our space. Then we went from one another space to another barbershop and now you see us maxing and relaxing and having fun and we're like we're in our environment, because our whole thing was to be like, kind of like the barbershop is like a country club.
Speaker 1:Right.
Speaker 3:For guys oh yeah, and we wanted to make it feel like you're at home, you're with your friends, you're with your people. That is cool, and we just knew that the spot before that we couldn't do that. So that was the only troubles that we had, and then we just slowly, just kept improving.
Speaker 1:And you do. You have absolutely continue to improve on friends versus friends. So how about a funniest moment during filming.
Speaker 3:You got that funny man.
Speaker 2:You called me. Funny. It's like every episode. I tell you what. When we were on discord I wasn't aware, but I guess I fell asleep I fell backwards and was asleep. They had to, like, call me and I was like what, what? I sat back up and I was like I can't sit on my bed anymore. I can't sit on my bed anymore Very comfortable bed. I don't know how funny you thought that was. Adding how was that? You told me.
Speaker 3:I was the one that was texting you. Of course he was. The funniest time is anytime they like picking on me. So anytime I have my friends they're like yo, you keep getting made fun of. They said Kyle is always that one that like throws that big slam dunk into the episode. Like it's always cool here in the information, but Kyle always comes with that one punch. It can be the me or JT, but he starts it all and everyone says like that one thing he said just made the episode go from great to amazing.
Speaker 1:Right, absolutely. Do you each have a podcast, your favorite podcast? Is there one that stands out with each of you?
Speaker 2:I'm a small guy. Lately it's been a raw room. No, she's talking about episodes.
Speaker 1:Yeah, your episode, but you can tell me what else you like.
Speaker 2:You know what that was? Jt's fault. He's not here, so I'm being weird. I thought you were asking about our personal favorite podcast.
Speaker 1:I don't have a problem with that.
Speaker 2:No, do I have one. We got to talk about sneakers a lot in one of them.
Speaker 1:Wait, wait, wait, wait. That's my favorite.
Speaker 4:It is.
Speaker 1:Yes, so it's right.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:Go ahead. Do you guys remember those sneakers when I'm talking about yes?
Speaker 4:Well, I listen primarily for you guys antics, the interactions you guys have between each other, and it's hilarious. It's hilarious. I'm like, oh my god, Then you take us back to memory lane on some things and I'm like oh yeah, I remember that. And then I'm laughing. I'm laughing hilariously.
Speaker 3:Thank you.
Speaker 4:You guys do your thing. I'm like, oh man, and this you know, it's just so natural.
Speaker 1:I'm like, oh no, he said and I hadn't listened to the podcast yet. Ron had listened to it first. He was like did you hear, did you listen? I was like no, I haven't had a chance. You got to listen. You got to listen and they're talking about sneakers.
Speaker 3:It's like OK, I love, oh, my god, y'all has a PhD and Nike sneakers and any shoes that athletes wear.
Speaker 1:And let me interject one more time. I just finished up an interview and the DJ that I interviewed has a huge selection, a huge collection Thank you Of sneakers, that he sold off the majority of his sneakers and had enough money for a down payment on a home.
Speaker 3:Yeah, you go.
Speaker 1:Yeah, tell us about this Because I will, yeah, the sneaker one.
Speaker 2:About sneakers. I got into sneakers when I was born. My aunt well, we're very close my aunt was like 13. So when I was walking she used to take me to the mall and we'd get matching sneakers. So I always just like, I looked forward to the sneakers and I started noticing other ones. I like chunky basketball sneakers and I never grew out of that. I love that and I'm the type of person who I like wearing what I like to wear. It has to fit me, has to make me feel good. It might not be what everybody's doing, but it's the thing I like. So when I look at people, I remember their sneakers and my favorite player you might not believe this is Shaq for certain reasons, and when he hit the scene I was probably six and they had the whole Shaq attack thing going on.
Speaker 2:So I had this bed sheet where the top was his jersey, the middle was his shorts and then the bottom was the sneakers the Shaq attack twos. So now I'm stuck on it. It's a thing that I like I don't get to have them all the time because I have priorities, mortgages and kids.
Speaker 1:All that adult stuff Adulting.
Speaker 2:Yeah, Adulting, oh yeah, but every once in a while I'll be able to go get something and I just I notice what people are wearing, even the football cleats.
Speaker 1:So how did the podcast, though, centered around sneakers. How'd you get to that point with that podcast?
Speaker 2:Basketball, hip hop and sneakers just go hand in hand.
Speaker 4:Hand in hand, yeah.
Speaker 2:Yeah, it's easy, you're going to put on something. Me being a bigger guy, I always have to have the ankle support, so I ended up getting some high top stuff and lately, if you haven't noticed, the basketball sneakers have been very low cut and everything. The sneakers that everybody likes the most on and off the court are like Jordans and stuff from the 90s. The 90s and the late 80s were the best sneakers that they had and those happened to be my wheelhouse. Because I need the ankle support, so I need a big old high top sneaker all the time.
Speaker 4:Yeah.
Speaker 2:So sometimes we'll have a challenge. I came up with games and stuff to play my segments during those shows and sometimes I'll pick a team based on the sneakers that I like and they see and add in know the sneakers that they're talking about, because I just show up with them and I'm like, look, this guy got another pair and it's always some of my favorite players or things that I need to wear on the court. It's the parallel between basketball or sneakers is uncanny if you really think about it.
Speaker 1:Absolutely, Adam. What's one of your favorite podcasts?
Speaker 3:Falling on them. But the two that I'm going to say was actually when JT and I this is when people thought we were really arguing like fighting was when we were debating about Steve Kerr being a good coach and that the Warriors made him who he is. The other one is when Kyle and JT make fun of me for talking about Doc Rivers in almost every episode OK, ok, ok, and not wanting him to be on a team and telling people I think he was going to get fired. And then he finally got fired. And then I felt bad but I explained my reasoning. They keep clowning me, saying that you wanted the guy fired, talked about having his Uber outside, you wanted to hit, you didn't think it was going to work, and this is that. And the third they keep clowning me about it and everyone of my friends keep like yo, y'all really have this deep hatred for Doc Rivers and they keep clowning about it. I was like, look, I like the guy. He's a good coach, but he just did not need to be coaching at this thing.
Speaker 1:That's it.
Speaker 2:Doc Rivers of all people. Man, he's probably such a really nice guy. I always tease him. He's going to be the nicest dude he ever met before in his life. And then he's not going to give himself a podcast Every episode.
Speaker 3:Oh my god. So all of them, but those two episodes hit the most from me.
Speaker 1:Oh my god, I love them. Like I said, we both enjoy listening apps 100%, so what have each of you learned about yourselves during this process of this podcast?
Speaker 3:Anything is possible, being able to do this while being family men, by also working, by also doing our other extracurricular activity, and still having time to be able to do this and do it at a great ability, and still being able to talk to people. I said the first thing I wanted to do ever was to at least get one NBA person to follow us, and that was my goal and I went hard for it. We got Ben Wallace. All the things. Ben Wallace actually followed us on Instagram, so that was the biggest achievement that I actually thought. That made me happy Because from time to time he'll look at our story. He might actually answer some of the poll questions, and so that was the biggest thing for me.
Speaker 1:Wow.
Speaker 3:What about you KB?
Speaker 2:Yeah, and this is genuine. I think about it all the time. I appreciate this before, but it really just highlighted how blessed I am to be working with two dudes that I generally respect, and this is my circle of friends. I already told you, ms Deb, about Adam being the hardest working person that I know personally in life. Jt is 1A, the dude is a grinder.
Speaker 2:There's things that I don't like asking people. I don't like to waste people's time, but Adam and JT have this audacity that they're going to ask for it. That internship that Adam's talking about he was talking about it those things they sound great to me, but if it were me, I'd feel a little bit intimidated to ask it for that Because I feel like, am I going to be able to offer enough value to that person to even be dealing with me? But he really does, adam really does, and for him to carry that on it shows his work ethic and I admire this JT. He's a family man just like the rest of us.
Speaker 2:He got Jibran to record our last episode that we just did and I got that text message about that while I'm driving my van. I'm like, yeah, good luck with that. And I was like even tacos and stuff, and I'm like, yeah, ok, right, what an idea. Ok, let me know what happens. And guess what, when I walked into the studio, jibran was there. So I get to work alongside two of my peers, two men that I respect and actually admire and look up to, and I feel gratitude every day for being able to do that.
Speaker 3:I forgot one thing. I'm going to give you the biggest heartbreak for it being able to have our first logo that we got you designed. That was created Also our first merch, even though time and finances are slowly going to have it that you were the one who actually got us our first merch. You got to actually talk about that, too as well. I always say thank you for complimenting me, but you have to let people know you would have forefroamed the logo because we didn't have a logo at the time and we finally got the logo and people loved our logo. For me, just like how you hear, kyle's always come up with me. I'm always telling people who did that it wasn't something that we had to pay for someone to come in our brains. Kyle actually had, like I told you, this guy could write a paper 15 minutes before a class and get an A. This man took the time to draw it all out. It came out there and then it got designed and it was perfect.
Speaker 1:Well, I have to say and I haven't met JT, but seeing him on the podcast and how you all interact with each other, the respect that you have for each other, the genuine love for each other, what you all bring to the table. You all bring something different and yet it all works perfectly for this podcast. You bring it's organic, absolutely. You bring such vibrance and it's fun to listen to you and you want to be there and you want to be part of it. That I am. Well, both Ron and I are so happy that you reached out to us and that we have been doing this now for a year, and I really look forward and so does Ron to having on board for many more years. So, yeah, you just have something that really works really well.
Speaker 1:Thank you so?
Speaker 4:much Thank you.
Speaker 1:You are welcome. So is there anything else that I haven't touched on, you guys haven't talked about, that you want to share with everybody, like where can we find you?
Speaker 3:You can find us on YouTube friends versus friends. You can find us on Instagram Please follow us on friends versus friends. That's F R N D S V S. F R N D S. You can find us on Twitter friends versus friends. You can find us on Spotify. You can find us on Apple podcast friends versus friends. We're on a lot of different platforms. You can find us on real to real. So that's the important place where you got to find this. But, yeah, that's where you can find us and you could always.
Speaker 3:We daily post something on Instagram either polls, either videos, either news and updates. I will say this because he's not here to give he's going to give him the glory on this. Those videos, that's done by JT, oh well, posts with the news and all of that that's done by me. So, the polls that are done, that's done by Kyle, because Kyle also does TikTok for us as well. We were trying to formulate more on TikTok but, like we always bring something to the table, kyle does the stories with the polls. I'll do the news and updates. Jt does the videos.
Speaker 1:And again, you just each balance each other out. I do have one more question. So what advice would you give somebody just starting out and wanting to create a podcast, ron?
Speaker 4:What advice that I would give them.
Speaker 1:Well, you can go. You can tell yeah, you can give some advice.
Speaker 4:Oh, my goodness, you know, just jump right in and do it, just do it. Yeah, just jump right in and do it. It's a lot of work, you know. It might be scary at times, a lot of things you haven't dealt with. Just don't be afraid to mess up. You know, just go. You learn as you go.
Speaker 1:Thank you. What about you, guys? You?
Speaker 3:go. You got to be patient. One thing is Ron wasn't built in the day. A lot of times you might want to give up and you have to find like-minded people. If it wasn't for Kyle, myself and JT being on the same page, there would be chaos, and chaos doesn't want success. So you have to find like-minded people to be successful, because if you follow, walking in the same line, the same beat, the same structure, you're going to be on the same path. That's what a lot of people want to do the quickness. Now you got to actually have some patience and discipline.
Speaker 1:Absolutely KB.
Speaker 2:My point would be similar to that. I would say you don't have to do everything by yourself. That's one of the things. I don't know if you can tell, but sometimes I can be in my head a lot. And what Ron said about just just do it, that's JT right there. I lean on him for that stuff. And then where I might wanna be in my own head like, well, how am I gonna do it? Add in it's like yeah, we have these steps right here. This is the research and stuff. Because I'm elevated to whatever level we're all going to, because I can lean on my two other teammates at any time and they can call me at night, bounce ideas off or I'll have something. We're available to each other.
Speaker 2:This if it was just me, you guys wouldn't have got a podcast. No, you would have never gotten it. I don't even know if you would have gotten a full Instagram post. But these guys you have a creative guy, you have an organizer and you have one guy who's a doer going out to just pound their pavement super hard workers, family men, like-minded guys. We understand how it is in life just trying to do things, but I'm so happy to be alone with people I don't have to do everything by myself. No, no, we're near it at all.
Speaker 1:And that is important. I mean that's why Ron and I most of the time get along and we're able to bounce things off. I mean, in all honesty, it's very important to have either like you have each other, I have Ron or to even have a mentor to reach out to. But how many times do you have a question about something and there's always going to be somebody that has either gone through it or has a tip to get through it. So I'm always a big advocate to have a mentor or somebody to reach out to.
Speaker 3:Networking is power yeah absolutely, Absolutely All right.
Speaker 1:Well, I can't thank you guys enough. Kv and the Statman, Thank you for JT. We miss you.
Speaker 3:I'm really upset that you're not here tonight, that's fine.
Speaker 1:I'm not cutting this part out, you will hear it, but I appreciate it all of you, and Ron and I definitely look forward to many years together. Yeah, thank you so much for having us.
Speaker 2:We love this journey too. We can't wait to hear websites up and running. As long as you'll keep having us, we'll keep making jokes and new logos and stuff and blaming JT because this is his fault.
Speaker 4:Absolutely, if we can grow together.
Speaker 2:Always. Life is good.
Speaker 1:All right again. Thank you all and everybody. Have a great night.
Speaker 2:We do the same All right P.
Speaker 4:All right.
