The Josh Innes Show - Anthony Richardson Is Back

Episode Date: November 13, 2024

Hello Friends! Last night was Movie and Mexican night....so I'm not feeling particularly well this morning. We saw a really solid picture called "Heretic" with Hugh Grant. This leads to a discussion about Elizabeth Hurley...because I'm a horndog. Anthony Richardson is back and we say goodbye to our departed friend Joe Flacco. Rest in Power. Why do internet doofs assume Anthony Richardson can't mentally bounce back from being benched? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Hello, Jamokes. What's happening? It is Wednesday morning, 1108. Rolled out of bed a little while ago because I woke up balls early because last night was Mexican and movie night.

And to keep it vague, I'm going to keep it very vague, very vague. The Mexican doesn't always sit well with the your boy like the mixture of mexican manjaro and movies doesn't always mesh well with me so i wasn't doing too hot last night i was doing very badly very very badly uh so i don't know why i'm trumping this up so much today i think it's because i went down a a wormhole of watching Shane Gillis Trump impressions. It's like somehow YouTube decided, listen, we got to get you as far away from dog soldier videos as possible. So we're going to give you Shane Gillis, who does a very good Trump impression. It's like a throaty Trump impression. I like the more like speech like speaking in front of 50,000 people Trump

impression whereas you know it's really hard to do a Trump impression of him being interviewed because when he's interviewed he's not the same dude especially on these podcasts when he was on with Joe Rogan and some of these others he was very just kind of subdued very quiet very quiet and he was very inquisitive he'd ask questions and uh and then he like he would turn the interview into him interviewing someone else and then he would make a statement that was like factually inaccurate about a sport or something like that and and they'd be like no that's not it but like they would they didn't want to be rude because he's trump and he's the president and he's like yes i was uh when we went when i was running uh when i had the trump casino

i had a trump casino and it was really amazing. Mr. Miyagi. Mr. Miyagi was a fighter. Is that right, Joe? Did Mr. Miyagi fight at the Taj? And he'd be like, no, I don't think that was it. And that was kind of how it went. Now I feel like if there's going to be four more years of Trump, I need to try to figure out how to do a Trump impression.

That might be my way in. That might be my way back into the world is doing a Trump impression a very throaty like the body the the gestures are the easiest thing like the hands you do like you do the hands on the inside then you do a point it goes from like this weird like inverted little thing he does with his hands like the palms up and he makes like almost like a V with his hands. Kind of like when Larry David did the big vagina hands. They do that. And then you do a point that and a point and a turn and you got it. Like that's the easy part.

But like, I didn't realize how good Shane Gillis is. Trump impression was the dude that's on SNL. And I don't know his name because he doesn't really do anything on SNL other than Trump. His Trump is spectacular too. Like the, like everybody was in love in love with the Alec Baldwin Trump. It wasn't good.

It was a lot of makeup and you're like, okay, whatever. I understand that impressions are going to be mean spirited and the guy didn't like Trump anyway. His was almost just like, this is an ugly dude and I'm going to make him look super ugly. The impression the other dude does is like spot on and the content is good. And then Shane Gillis, there's a video. I watched a compilation of Shane Gillis doing Trump on Kill Tony, which our friend Trey has been on. Juggalo Trey has done Kill Tony a couple of times. That kid's got balls, balls by the way let me tell you about the balls on Trey Campbell Juggalo Trey the kid knows no fucking fear right me I'd be I'm scared shitless to go up in front of three people to try to comedy honestly like my dream I say my dream I've got a lot of I got a lot of dreams I've got a lot of dreams um but I've got dreams and one of them is

like I think I'd be good at standup comedy. And I don't know why. And I hate saying that because if anybody who's like legitimately in comedy would hear that, they'd go, this fucking guy, it's not as easy as you think. I don't think it's easy. That's why I don't do it.

But in my mind, I'm like, Josh, you used to do four hours of radio a day. None of it was scripted. You made it up on the fly. Some things you say are funny. Some things you say are don't. What if you tried to harness that? What if you tried to like put that in a jar and sell it maybe you could turn that into something and i've always thought that and i've wanted to try it

i don't have the guts to get up in front of five people at like a dave and buster's open comedy mic night or anything like that trey has has no fucking fear. Walks into a radio stage with AJ and Fred will say whatever. Doesn't give a shit. Fears nothing. You put him out in front of people, he fears nothing. Goes up on fucking Kill Tony, a show designed to destroy you. People sitting there on a panel waiting to make fun of you and eviscerate you and he just goes fuck it now part of that is because I think Trey has Asperger's so um he's certainly somewhere on the spectrum I don't know officially what part of the spectrum that is I think it's Asperger's because he's functioning and he can drive and he lives on his own and he's engaged I hope we're invited to Trey's wedding because

it's going to be a hell of a time with his mom and maybe roger stawback but when you watch him he's just fucking fearless he possesses this little thing that like he i guess he doesn't know shame in some way and like the insults don't bother him and he's like thanks i guess now i've seen him get angry over shit before but the balls it takes to get up there now he's probably got liquid courage or some other before, but the balls it takes to get up there. Now, he's probably got liquid courage or some other form of courage, too. But he gets his ass up there and he's like, fuck it, I'm going to go. And he's in front of fucking Kill Tony, who's designed that show is designed to eviscerate you and make you feel like shit. And he fucking does.

And he keeps getting back up me. I'm afraid to go in front of 10 people. It's like, hey, it's open mic night at your local pub. You want to try it? Nope. Not a fucking chance. I george mcfly here man i'm like i don't think i could handle that kind of rejection like i couldn't do it but trey this son of a bitch does it and i'm super proud of it when he does it because i'm proud of it i don't know how i got down a wormhole on trey uh but um talking about doing comedy like i feel like there's a part of me that really wants to do that and I've told you guys this forever

I would love to do comedy shit but I just don't have the guts to do it and I wish I did because I think if I found the right people to kind of team up with me and come up with some shit we could come up with really funny material because we do it on the radio we do it live every day like there are a lot of comedians who can't go on

live radio for four hours and be funny there are some that are brilliant you know like you could sit Bill Burr down Do it live every day. There are a lot of comedians who can't go on live radio for four hours and be funny. There are some that are brilliant. You could sit Bill Burr down in front of people in a radio studio and he'd make you laugh your balls off not doing his material. Although all comedians have their material. It's just how they deliver it. When I was doing 610 in the morning, when I was with Mark and John, the comedians would come up every Friday. They were going to be at the improv. And this was a stretch where you got some pretty big stars that came up there.

You know, Craig Robinson. His name is Craig Robinson from The Office. He came up. Total dud. Not interesting. I'm guessing his show was fine. He did something involving like a keyboard. But on the air, none of it translated. It wasn't funny. It wasn't good. But on the other hand, you got like Christopher Titus came up. Christopher Titus was great I think this was the day after the Aurora Colorado shooting maybe or some shooting something happened that he came up and we were talking about and he was great you know um some guys are great some guys aren't some stand-ups all they have is their material and you got to kind of lead them into it and other guys don't want to be led into their material you know but uh why I got oh I guess because I started this whole thing

talking about Shane Gillis and how good the Shane Gillis thing I watched was. But it was just this great compilation. And that's kind of the stuff I miss doing on the radio was the improv of like doing a character on the air. Like the Coach O impression that we used to do at 790 wasn't a very good impression. We were just making fun of the guy. But it was the material that was great. And somewhere I still have the audio of this bit that we used to do at 790 wasn't a very good impression we were just making fun of the guy but it was the material that was great and somewhere i still have the audio of this bit

that we did where we were talking about you know coach oh on recruiting trips and bringing tigers and riding the tiger around and like and like finding out that like some kid he was recruiting was actually his kid but he found it out because kid talk like this, and he's like, is your mama Barbara Lafourche from the St. Tamale Lafourches? And like, I think I'm your daddy. But like that kind of shit, and I love that. Well, actually, a great example of that, if you've listened to the show for any period of time,

is when we did the bit with Miguel from the Texans game. The bit was that Miguel was, like the story out of Mexico was that they were, like, basically afraid that there were people, like, poisoning players. I forgot what the whole story was. So we created a character that was this henchman, Miguel, who was just trying to, like, take out the Texans. So he'd knock on the door and he'd be like, room service. And I'd say, I didn't order any room service. It's a gift from mr bob

mcnair he said he wanted to get you an enchilada and it's like i don't think you're really i don't know i don't think i'm gonna open this he's like i swear it's just a present for you and then he'd open the door and he'd like hit him with a dart gun or a blow gun or whatever i forgot the whole bit it was a good bit it's was a great bit. It was amazing. It was a great bit. It was amazing. It was incredible. But anywho, all that said,

go find the compilation of the best shit that Shane Gillis has done as Trump. And it got better. It's evolved. I forgot what the little sketch show he had was. It wasn't as good and it wasn't as refined and the makeup and everything wasn't as good. He was doing one on Kill Tony

with one of the other dudes doing Biden and it was just fucking nails. Nails, I say. So make sure you find that on YouTube and watch it and laugh your balls off. And so there's that. Oh, I guess this all started mexican and movie night and how my bowels are running like water my grandma would say son i'm locked up so which is a really gross

visual but you know that was grandma uh she didn't really have a filter son grandma's locked up like she'd get up we'd be playing yahtzee she'd roll the dice but grandma where are you going shit son my bowels is fixing to move and then she'd come out she'd be like son grandma's locked up like grandma what the fuck but we did go see heretic which is this movie that uh is about mormons and hugh grant seems like an odd combo it's actually um it's called love actually too um but, it was actually really fucking good. The first half of it I thought was spectacular. And I don't want to spoil anything about it. But like the plot of the movie is like these two Mormon girls are trying to extol the virtues of our Lord Jesus Christ or whatever the hell the Mormons do when they're not soaking.

And, you know, they go to Hugh Grant's house and then it becomes like this whole deal. And his performance in the first hour or so of the movie was just fucking nails. And it was suspenseful and it was really fucking great. It wasn't like a horror movie. It was like a suspenseful movie. Kind of like, you know, like when you watch a movie like Silence of the Lambs that's so suspenseful that it becomes scary but it's not really a horror movie. It was really psychological and like intense and I love a good intense movie that like you're basically in one room the whole time and you get to really see how good of an actor someone is Hugh Grant fucks in this movie and then it kind of devolves a little bit and it becomes kind of a

it becomes far more of a a horrorish type movie about halfway through but the first hour or so really really intense really really good i thought he was spectacular in it and look i'm a hugh grant guy love actually nine months four weddings and a funeral. This moron fucking cheated on, on a what's her fuck with, with some basic ass a hooker. Who the hell am I thinking? Elizabeth Hurley. This guy was plowing prime Elizabeth Hurley. Although I'd argue that Elizabeth Hurley now is more prime than she was then. Do you ever watch the, or see the pictures of her on Instagram that apparently her kid takes cause he's a photographer. So it's kind of weird, but like now is more prime than she was then. Do you ever watch or see the pictures of her on Instagram that apparently her kid takes because he's a photographer? So it's kind of weird. But she

has a bathing suit line. So she's got just horned out, awesome pictures of her in bathing suits. She's got to be in her mid-50s. I don't know. Maybe she's 60 at this point. I mean, what year did Austin Powers come out? 1997? That's nearly 30 years ago. She was in her 20s for that. So she's got to be in her mid to late 50s and she is spectacular but this guy had prime Elizabeth Hurley we're talking like uh uh what bedazzled Elizabeth Hurley which is probably the hottest Elizabeth Hurley anyone's ever going to see hotter than Miss Kensington and Austin Powers hotter than that one movie with Matthew Perry where like she's on the run or whatever she She's a criminal. Bedazzled is the greatest, hottest film you will ever see with this chick in it.

Ever. Elizabeth Hurley in Bedazzled. 2001, I believe, is the year it came out. Brendan Fraser. He's in love with a girl. And he meets up with the devil. The devil gives him all these wishes. And hilarity

and hijinks ensue the fucking movie's great it's a great movie and you will never see a hotter elizabeth hurley if you haven't seen it watch it also i do want to thank a couple of people who've sent uh some messages i did get a message uh last night let me go back to the phone here. I want to thank Adam Sanchez, who said he sent the podcast to his dad's group. So he's got a dad's Facebook group. A Bunch of Dads with Fewer Rules is the name of the group. I want to find out if you actually listen to this shit. A Bunch of Dads with Fewer Rules. You sons of bitches.

I'll know if you listen because you'll find my ass and follow me on the gram is what you'll do and you'll send me a message and you'll say, hey, it's me, Pablo, from a bunch of dads.

I don't know why Pablo's in the group, but Pablo, and you're going to find Pablo and he's going to say, hey, man, I listen to the podcast now because Adam Sanchez told me to. So thanks to Adam Sanchez because there was a question in the a bunch of

dads with fewer rules group and they asked about podcasts that people listen to and I see like Rogan Theo Vaughn Sean Ryan I don't really like Theo Vaughn I um like I try I just don't know how much of it is a bit and how much of it is that he's just fucking stupid and some of the shit he does is funny I just it's I don't know when someone is like there's no way that's a real person and that annoys me like why is like why is theo von cool but like larry the cable guy playing a character is not cool not again i want to be very clear i'm not saying that larry the cable guy is funny although the blue collar Comedy Tour fucked hard. You watch the original Blue Collar Comedy Tour?

I saw Foxworthy in concert once in Baton Rouge. River Center sold out for Foxworthy. But when you got the, you got, look, I go back and I watch that shit sometimes. The original Kings of Comedy was great. And then the Hillbilly White version of it was called the Blue Collar Comedy Tour. The original one. With Jeff Foxworthy, Larry the Cable comedy tour the original one with jeff foxworthy larry the cable guy uh the here's your sign dude billing vol and uh and of course ron white who's one of the funniest motherfuckers on the planet he does the the tater salad bit they call me tater salad i was drunk in a bar you threw me me into public. So anyway, all that said, um, thank you to Adam

for telling his group to listen to, uh, the, uh, the podcast. Hopefully some of those people listen. And if you've shared the podcast with anybody, you know, let me know, send me a message on Twitter or send me an email, Josh and a show at gmail.com or send me a tweet, whatever. Let me know. Spread the gospel, kiddos. Spread the gospel. And now that I've talked about all that and bowels running like water and Hugh Grant and Elizabeth Hurley

and him getting a blowjob from a hooker while he was dating Elizabeth Hurley, what the fuck, not even a hot hooker, and what we've talked about, bowels running like water and Mexican food and being locked up and everything else, let me play you a couple commercials and then we will talk about the death of Joe Flacco.

All right, so if you haven't seen this story, story today is that the Colts are going back to Anthony Richardson, and they will play him for the rest of the year. I guess they've decided, hey, the dream is over. We thought maybe we were competitive. We thought maybe if we play Joe Flacco, we have a chance to win some games. I thought they had a chance to win some games. I would have played Flacco, and I would have played him earlier because I think Anthony Richardson sucks,

and I actually think he's a lost cause who's not going to be good. I don't know why people think he is. I see nothing out of him except that he can throw the ball a long way and he can run a little bit that would make anybody think Anthony Richardson's very good. But for whatever reason, they think this guy, I mean, they have to, they have no choice, but to think he could be a stud because they took him with the number four pick. So you have to, but I understand why they went to Flacco. It's the same reason why they may end up going to Tyson, Bajan, and Chicago. You're still trying to win games, and you got coaches who are afraid to lose their jobs. You got players who want to win games now, and you weren't taking that or getting that

opportunity with the young dude, so you played Flacco. and the last two weeks have been dreadful. So I will say this. I was wrong in that Flacco was going to help them win games. I thought he would and he didn't. So for that, I was wrong and I can acknowledge I'm wrong. I'm like baby's dad at the end of Dirty Dancing. Look, I'm wrong. I say I'm wrong. You look wonderful out there, right? So I was wrong, but I wasn't wrong in the idea that Flacco should have been playing. Because let's be real, they weren't winning those other two games if Anthony Richardson were playing either. Now, the argument would have been, well, Josh, now you've probably destroyed this guy's

confidence. Look, if this guy can't get binged for two games and come back and be able to play after that, then he's kind of a pussy and he's not worth a number four pick. And you got bigger problems than the 2024 season. Because because at that point that kid would be a mental little person and that's not what we're here for now are we kiddos so i wouldn't like look it's funny how little people think of people wait hold up that sounded strange i don't mean little people as in little people like micro wrestling people i mean how little as if to say like how how little people as in little people like micro wrestling people. I mean, how little as if to say like how, how little people think of other people, this, you know what? I've butchered this. It's

amazing how people think that other people will not be able to cope with something. And that's what I saw on the internet. Whenever they benched Anthony Richardson, they love this guy. They think he's going to be a superstar. Yet they think him getting benched for a couple days is going to mess with his mind so much that he's not going to be able to rebound from it. Like, how do you think that little of someone that you think is a superstar? So you think they're a superstar, but you think they can't handle any sort of adversity of getting benched and they'll just be done.

Like, what are you thinking? You dopes. So Anthony Richardson, he is back in who do the Colts play this weekend Jilly sent that to me and she texted me and said maybe Anthony Richardson balls out this weekend and I said Jilly Anthony Richardson is not going to ball out this weekend balling out for Anthony Richardson would be if Anthony Richardson completed 48 of his passes that's how we define balling out for Anthony Richardson would be if Anthony Richardson completed 48% of his passes. That's how we define balling out for Anthony Richardson. Anthony Richardson going 20 of 40, he may be able to retire.

If he goes 50% completion percentage in a game, that's like Smithsonian. Put it in the Hall of Fame. Take his gloves. Take his cleats. Take his jersey. Put it in the Hall of Fame because that's about as good as things get for Anthony Richardson, who completes like 44% of his passes or whatever it is. All right, let's see what Anthony Richardson and the Colts are looking like this weekend. They take on the Jets. They're a three and a half point underdog at the Jets. So the Jets are going to win that.

And that's a pretty, look, that's still a decent Jets defense. I mean, they dismantled the Texans. Now, again, the Texans have been proven to be somewhat fraudulent here in the last couple of weeks. Their offensive line's dreadful. The playmakers aren't making plays. CJ looks scared. So maybe shutting down the Texans isn't a giant feat

like we thought it once was. But if the Jets can do that to legitimate good young quarterbacks like C.J. Stroud, I feel pretty confident that even with a new sense of confidence, Anthony Richardson isn't going to roll in and be like, hey, watch this guy. I think he's probably still going to get his ass kicked because the Colts are not a good football team

and Anthony Richardson is not a good quarterback. Will he ever be? Maybe. I'm not holding out hope for it I never saw like somebody get that much sympathy for being benched like like if Bo Nix were to have gotten benched in in in Denver nobody would have been like this is so sad and every coach needs to give him a hug and will he be able to rebound from this do you think they've destroyed him mentally like here's what i think happens i think people get so caught up in trying to do the politically correct thing that they actually have the opposite impact on the guys they're pitying and by that i mean they inadvertently insult guys that they're trying to defend based on social issues,

racial issues or whatever. Like if Bo Nix were to get benched, I don't think anybody, he's not going to, they're five and five, whatever, but he's not going to get benched. Let's say Bo Nix were to get benched. Nobody would be like, I don't think Bo Nix mentally could ever recover from this. Nobody would say that about the guy. Most people would just ridicule Bo Nix for getting benched. But like if Caleb Williams right now is an example of this so there's talk in Chicago about Caleb Williams getting benched right that's kind of like the thing at this point will Caleb Williams get benched some veteran players allegedly want Tyson Bajent we talked about it yesterday the argument from people on the internet would be, if you bench this guy, what does that do for him mentally?

You only hear this about young black quarterbacks, and I find that funny because you're actually insulting them. Like, people are so anxious to try to be, like, progressive in their thoughts on shit that they treat players of different races or nationalities they treat them differently and they talk about them differently like the way people have talked about anthony richardson you would think he's a fucking moron and you would think he's soft and that he has no ability to bounce back why do you feel that way why would you think

that this guy mentally couldn't come back from this? If you thought he was talented enough to be the number four overall pick, and you think he's super talented, and you think he got a raw deal, and you think he's got a big arm, and you think he's the future of your franchise, then why the hell would you think that he couldn't come back from having to be binged for two games? Why do you think he doesn't have the mental capacity for that? Why do you think he doesn't have the maturity to bounce back from that? That's a you problem. Now, maybe he doesn't. I don't know. I doubt that. I don't think you get to this point in your life by not being able to bounce back from

being benched. But like, I'm watching the way Anthony Richardson's been treated. And Anthony Richardson, like they got coaches hugging him. They got people in the media talking about how sad this is. Like, bro, he's a fucking professional football player. He's played to play and win. And they ain't winning. So they benched him. But the idea that people get out on their white horses and rush to his defense and say, this is going to fuck him up mentally.

He's broken. Do you think that little of the dude that he can't bounce back from it? That's you. That's your problems bro people are fucking imbeciles man like and like they're inadvertently racist and they don't realize it in their quest to be super defensive and be super progressive and super like i understand social things you literally every time a black quarterback gets benched the internet's like i don't know if he's gonna be able to bounce back from this like what the fuck are you talking about you dopes people are stupid is what i'm

trying to tell you people are not smart and people some of them have good intentions and they're just dipshits some of them have horrible intentions they're also dipshits they're evil a lot of bad intentions on the internet. And then sometimes, you know, there are good intentions that just go awry. But either way, it's like people are dumb. It's kind of like when Tebow was a thing and like everybody in the world knew that Tebow wasn't going to be like a good pro, but Tebow was finding weird ways to win games and they were actually winning them. And he went to the playoffs and won a playoff game and he completed like 47 percent of his passes as well but all those same people that would tell you that that Tebow was garbage would look at Anthony Richardson and they'd go

Anthony Richardson ain't garbage though Anthony well he's in his second year he's completing 47 percent of his passes yeah but he ain't garbage Tim Tebow was garbage well Tim Tebow won some games yeah he was garbage and he was I'm not telling you you're wrong. But we just judge people on how quickly we want to just cut them off and say they're terrible based on a lot of other issues that truly aren't football related. The Internet's a beautiful place. Like, the Internet, it's beautiful and terrible. The Internet's terrible for, like, a thousand reasons, thousands of reasons. The Internet's beautiful because sometimes, like, people get so caught up in shit that they get revealed to be frauds.

Someone I dislike a lot is Ryan Clark. Like my friend Matt knows him. I'm sure Ryan Clark is legitimately a nice guy. But Ryan Clark plays such an annoying, sanctimonious character on Twitter and television that I can't stand him. So after Trump got elected, this Ryan Clark goes to the internet and is like, listen, this is our president. I'm paraphrasing and I'm going to support him and hopefully, you know, good things happen. Well, I'm going to guess that the culture got their hands on him because then Ryan Clark had to put out a video and a long ass post essentially saying, look, I don't think things are going to get better, but I hope so.

Like people are so afraid of the culture and the people on the Internet that they become pussies and they become beholden to these fucking people. They are just dipshits on the Internet. They don't matter. They're not even real. But Ryan Clark, who's this big, bold dude who has big, bold takes, and he's kind of like, sort of like young Tony Dungy in the sense that people turn to Ryan Clark anytime they need some sort of answer about some life-related thing. It's like, well, Ryan Clark does a podcast,

and he talks kind of slow and important, so he must know what he's talking about. But I loved it. he puts out a message he just it's something very it's it's like hey i hope trump does well and i hope that the country's fine and whatever which is fine it's perfunctory bullshit it doesn't matter right but then he follows that up with listen guys basically i was really fucking wrong and i'm really sorry that all you people on the internet hate me now please Please forgive me. Trump's Hitler. Kamala got screwed. Stop the steal.

And watch us tonight on Monday Night Countdown with me and Jason Kelsey. People are just fucking dopes. The internet has ruined people. It has ruined media. It's ruined media people for a multitude of reasons that we all know but like life was better when you didn't

know that everybody in the world thought you were a piece of shit and that might sound like soft but life was a lot easier and when you were in the media now look i'm not telling you that social media or that like blog shouldn't exist and podcast shouldn't exist right but life was a lot easier in the media when like you assumed people thought you sucked, but it wasn't in your face 400 times a day instantaneously. You know, the worst thing that ever happens when radio stations got text and Twitter, you sit up there and you're delivering a good take. You're like, this is good shit. And then like 30 texts come in that just not even say you're wrong. They say you're stupid.

You're a piece of shit. You're racist. You're fat. Your mom's a cunt. And you're like, huh, this is interesting. That's what the internet and text has done. And athletes are doing the same thing. And there's something I want to get into about athletes and stuff like that here in another pod. But I saw something betting related and I'm like,

holy shit, we've completely turned these people into just inanimate objects. It's fucking wild. But anyway, so I'll get into that in a little bit. Nice chat with you guys. I like you. You're good folks. Tell your friends. Tell them in the group chat. Tell them on Facebook. Tell them on Twitter. Spread the word. Say, listen to the Josh Ennis show. Please. Thank you.
