Hi, it's Stephen. I will not let AI write a summary of this episode, but I'll be honest, we recorded this a while ago and I don't remember everything we talked about. So, get into it, I guess. There are cold and hot takes. And I know for me in particular, what I said in this conversation isn't very reflective of how I think even a month or two later. It's complicated out there, y'all.
