[00:40:27] S0: Oh, okay. Alright. No... With no hesitation. I like it. [00:40:31] S1: Yeah. I think we're entering a phase where those that are able to add value at scale will either gobble up the smaller ones, merger and acquisition. Obviously, we're already seeing a lot of that. Or the smaller ones just won't exist because they won't be able to do it in as efficient of a way with the tech stack that's required, just why... That's why we coach on a lot here at Triad because we're we're very much into helping firms scale to where they're not founder dependent. [00:41:05] S0: Sure. Makes sense. And I know I'm in good company with you. We've talked about this over the years, but I have to ask. Chiefs going to the Super Bowl again this year. They're looking good. Stack or whack, or do we not wanna jinx it? [00:41:17] S1: If I'm truly a fan, I have to believe in my team. So I'm gonna say stack it. Last year was rough. I know we share the Chiefs love here. Having a running game is... It's like, where's this been for a decade? So Kenneth Walker, he's looking good, taking the pressure off Mahomes. We don't have to throw it every single play where they know it's coming. So far so good, but it's a long season. Gotta stay healthy. And I just don't ever want to experience an Eagles Chiefs Super Bowl again because that was very painful the way that one ended.

[00:41:50] S0: Yes. Yes. It was. I would have to agree. I think the three feet pressure, we were probably just gassed out at the end of it too, but I have faith in our boys. And, man, how did the seahawks let this happen? Even I'm still in shock as a chiefs fan to let the Super Bowl MVP running back join us. Give it to Mahomes. We look like a whole different team. It is electric. I'm still a little sketched out by the o line, but, hopefully, we can plug those holes. But they're they're getting there. I have faith in Benson that he's gonna be the underdog that that saves the whole o line here, but to be seen. [00:42:26] S1: We've gotta keep some healthy receivers too, there's at least one or two people to throw it to. But, yes. It does. For you, though. That's how it works.

And that's what makes it so much fun and that why we are stressed out every Sunday. So, Brad, thank you so much. This is such a great conversation. I appreciate you joining me.

So it has all the transcripts. So if there's certain topics you wanna check out, you can just ask AI. It'll give you the episodes where we talked about it.
