Late Sunday night for you, Shogun. For me, it's been one of the top of the year. But there's a success story for Disney in there as well. Yeah, I mean, to put it in perspective, Bob Iger was both at the Emmys and then also at the Disney after party. That is not something that he usually attends. I think he was there because he knew this was a big night for the company. You know, the winning top awards at the Oscars and Emmys hasn't historically been sort of a core part of the Disney strategy. They're making these big popcorn pictures, big commercial television shows based on things like Marvel and Star Wars. But Fox in particular just had a huge night, even though the Bear didn't win Best comedy show going to the Bear combined. I think when 29 awards, it was enough to make the top network on television. Top Network You've been speaking with top leadership there as well.

At the moment, we've been done a Waldron. She was at your event last year as well. Screen time, and I'm just really interested in. You've got this event coming up, of course, in L.A., October 9th and 10th. We're all going to be there. We could be broadcasting live. Can you just quickly tell us what we're going to expect? Is it more about Disney's prowess? Sadly, no. Disney this year because they have an executive leadership retreat in Florida the same week as screen time. But we'll have people from just about every other company, top leaders from Netflix and Amazon. Let's see Comcast, what the CEO of Live Nation, you know, some fun celebrities as well, Snoop Dogg, Kerry Washington, and the creator of South Park among them. You know, we're going to be talking about just a crazy time. This is in the business of media and

entertainment, you know, with companies merging, fighting, and really unsure about the future of the key to their business. You know, you guys were talking about Apple. Apple, at least those are businesses. Makes a lot of money that way. A lot of these TV and movie companies are still trying to figure out this streaming thing. One such drama is Disney and DirecTV, right? Harry Just 15 seconds, Lucas. More drama to come. Definitely more character fights to come, but not for Disney in the near future.
