And it all has to do with the livestock industry in Hawaii. Dylan's background is in economics and risk management and he comes from the Utah State University and has worked with the livestock industries in across the states in many different capacities but may in working at risk management and Economics and Finance, right Shannon was finding that correctly. Shan is He's almost like Shannon's counterpart, I should say. But at Utah State, because they both work in the same well, and
Shannon Sand:he was like, head of his department and stuff. So he's been around a little longer and has quite a bit of knowledge and background. So yeah, he's really good. So it's been really nice to have Bill in here. Yeah. And he, you

Shannon Sand:Yeah, that's true. What's our next January 5 is national keto day and national whipped cream Day, which I don't know enough about keto, but I'm guessing whipped cream might not be in the Keto, like food plan, but I like any excuse to have a little whipped cream on some pie or some dessert or sometimes even just by itself. That sounds like a good day to me. So yeah, yeah, yeah.
