I'm living it. You're gonna continue to wear. Yeah, this made you horny that in Italy, so I gotta keep wearing it. I do love the outfit, guys. In person, and if you're walking the streets of Positano and Capri, you would actually be like, you know what, Joe? You look cute. Because it was, Joe, let's talk, let's give him a little Italy recap. First of all, we had the best week in Italy, we just got back. Joe did get me sick though, let's be

honest. So we did a really fun thing, guys, our anniversary, our 20 year wedding anniversary is this month in August, and Joe's 50th birthday. So we got married. 50 never looks so good, boy. This is true. We basically got married on Joe's 50th birthday. So at midnight, it turned at midnight, he turned 30 when we got married. So at midnight on our anniversary this year, he turns 50. So we decided for our anniversary this year to rent.

We went and got a villa for a week in Capri or not. Oh, no, we did Positano and we stayed for a night in Capri. We took a boat over to Capri for the night and I took my mom, my two sisters and my two brother-in-laws and my three kids and we all stayed together for a week in Positano and it was beyond beautiful. It was kind of like a very like sweet moment and I was kind of proud being like the youngest being always like the baby of the family. And being like, Listen, guys, I got this great villa. I want you guys to all come stay with us and celebrate our 20 year wedding anniversary

together. In Capri, I want to make memories. And Donna Marco had never been to Italy, guys, believe it or not. Yes, she was not born in Italy the way that Joe's parents were. So she just never traveled there. You know, my father died when my mom was only my age. My mom was 45 when my dad died. My dad was 49. So they just didn't get there yet. So, and it was sad. And I felt bad for her that she and she's widowed again for the second time in life. So, um, and it was sad and I felt bad for her that she and she's widowed again for the second time in life. So I wanted her to see Italy and I wanted to piece. They can't handle it. Shut up with that. I wanted her to, um, no, she's not.

She's selling like she doesn't have sex. So there's that answer. It's so funny. People think like she's so wild. She doesn't want a man because she does not want to have sex and she barely drinks. She giggles off one drink. There's no like alcohol in my mother's home. It's so funny. But she's such a giggly, like ditzy human that people would think that she's like some wild fun. Like drinking. You got to go out to dinner with that guy. She's like, no, no, no. He might want to touch me. He's going to want to touch me. But anyway, back to Italy, Joe was beautiful, right? Wasn't it a beautiful thing to make memories? We woke up every morning. We had

a beautiful woman there making us breakfast. Anna Maria. That's what we called her. And I sang to her every morning. I said, good morning, Anna Maria. And she would say, Oh, we did that every morning. Um, we almost killed my mother. We almost killed Donna Marco. Oh my God, guys, the steps. First of all, tell them there was a heat wave. I love positive. I love all mafia coast guys.

I love it, but holy shit. We hit it on a really crazy week. They were having a heat wave. It was over a 100 degrees and humid every day. So like the second you even stepped foot outside, you were drenched like drenched. Clammy all day. Clammy. Clammy the whole entire day. So my mother really could only do like day or night because it was a lot to be all day at the beach clubs all day walking around. And you

guys know if you've been there before, it's steps and steps and steps and steps it's it was a lot but it was amazing the water was amazing my kids enjoyed it I love showing my kids the world and like their culture and I think they were so into it right Joe do we not have like amazing kids I mean we really do they had the best time my kids no one would believe me like they've been like since they were very young they don don't complain. They don't say what time are we going to dinner? How long are we going to be at dinner? I want to go home. I want to be on myself. I they literally enjoy every second of vacation. I think it's because

we've been taking them since they're so cool like their dad. If you're a new parent, a bad day means you either ran out of coffee, diapers, patients, or all of the above.

It was Antonia's birthday yesterday. She turned Speaking of kids, it was Antonia's birthday yesterday. She turned 19. Our little girl is not so much a little girl anymore. So I was like, Antonia, like, do you want to go to dinner or can I just make your favorite tagliatelle pasta, which is like the green and white pasta that you guys see me make

on Instagram all the time with the peas and the ham. It's so good. And then I was like, I'll just bake a homemade cake. And she was like, okay, mom, those always taste the best. The's so good. And then I was like, I'll just bake a homemade cake. And she was like, Okay, mom, those always taste the best. The cake was great. Woof. It did taste good, though. It was amazing. Guys, I couldn't find candles. I found some weird. I still don't know how I swallowed the cake. My god. No, it was delicious. It wasn't bad to taste. How do you

fuck up a box cake? I don't even know. How do you do that? How do you do it? You want to make fun of my outfit? How do you wear those candles come from? What the hell were those things? I found them in the drawer. Terrible. I found them in the drawer. We needed something to go on fire. I woke up with a stomachache. I was dying. No, don't lie. You're lying. You are lying to the people who can't even make a heart when it comes in a heart pan. Okay, I made a nice I made a nice heart. I couldn't decorate the heart. I should go get

the pan and show you guys. It's a perfect heart. I was all cockey. Just whatever. So anyway, orange juice. Yep. Look how you hear that guy. Orange. Orange. Orange juice. Orange juice. Orange juice. Anyway, did you, so tell me, do you have any recaps from Italy that you remember that you thought were finer? You know what I thought was great? That the kids could be in the clubs because you have to be 18.

And Antonio was like with us dancing and she was allowed to drink, but she didn't even really want to. She really didn't. These girls came up to my son on the beach and they were like, oh, and they started talking. They were 30 years old. Let me tell the story.

They were 30 years old, they were hot. One had a big butt. Oh my God, Joe. She like planted the butt. It was definitely a fake butt. Yeah, I was sitting from a distance, so I come swimming over and they were hot. They were, you know, sexy women.

And I go, what's going on? They're like, oh, hi. She goes, he goes, this is my father. and I go, what's going on? They're like, oh, hi, this, she goes, he goes, this is my father. Normally he says, this is my dad. He goes, this is my father. I go, I go, they go, oh, you did an amazing job with him. He's beautiful.

I go, oh, you like him? I go, look where he came from. So anyway, yes, there was like, girl, it was kind of funny to see girls like flirt with Gino. Like a lot of girls were flirting with Gino and they were there on girls trips and they were like single, but they were older than him. They were not teenagers. They were like 2527. And Gino was just like talking to them and he told them how old they were.

They like didn't care. And they were like, where are you going to be later? I was like, absolutely not. And I was like, you going to be later? I was like, absolutely not. And I was like, absolutely. Yes. No. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. No. He didn't go anywhere, but it was kind of funny to see him like on the beach, like with these girls flirting with him and he was talking to them. And it was weird to see him in that element. I've never seen him like that before. It was like weird for me. That's something we go from like kids and diapers and then running around now that we're hanging out with them at nightclubs and yeah, it was cool.

It was really good kids. It's not like they even get crazy or they want to, they're just, you know, luckily we got, we, we, we lucked out. We had a great time. Sometimes you get nervous with like, you know, I had my cousins, Nick and Mike were there on their honeymoon. So they met up with us for a bunch of the nights and it was just such a great time and we just all got along so well. We had great memories. It was a great trip.

All right. Well, let's talk about the real elephant in the room. We need to discuss this reunion special reunion special, the, you know, finale. We were away in Italy actually when the finale aired. So I saw all the chaos going on on social media and I was doing my best to like ignore it all and just enjoy Italy. But people were like, wowed by the reunion, like they could not believe, first of all, like some of the words.

People were calling each other. I'm not gonna lie. It's so sad. Yeah, I was extremely insult like I just I was in shock a little I but then at the same time I kind of laughed it off because it was like really and I'm like, oh, we're gonna go like, that's the road. That's how we're gonna go out. That's and you know what? That's sad to me because those are the last words that she'll ever say to me or call me. And I just, it is what it is girl. So, and you know what?

Fine. I good. I laughed it off. I laughed it off a little bit and I thought it was kind of funny. Cause I just was like, you're just annoyed that I'm even in this room. And I, you know, want to know why you laughed it off? Why?

You want to want to want to know why? Because you're not, you're not all those things. I'm freaking married for 20 years. Finish when, when, when people don't laugh it off and they take it seriously, or it hurts them in a way. Or they freak out. Because they know it's true. Right. Understand? So it's just, it's just a shame that we've, we become this and

the cast as a whole has become what it's become. So dark, so dirty. And I feel like, you know, certain cast members, they bite their nose to spike their face. You know what that means, Joe? It's like you think you're winning and your need to win is so strong that you will go to any level, say the worst of the worst, do the dirtiest of the dirty to win, but really, you're gonna lose that way. Like you don't even realize that you're not winning, you're losing and you're biting your nose to spite your face. This was an amazing ensemble commodity. No matter which way anyone wants to slice it or dice it, this family has been touching America for many, many

years, our ups, our downs, our highs, our lows are in law problems, every and it's like, to make it go that low and dirty to the point that people can't even be in the same room together is so sad. But so true. I mean, you heard Andy, it's done. This cast guys, as you know it, is over. And, you know, I'm going to just say this, I believe, and Joe, you tell me what you think, but I think when Andy says all these things about a reboot, I know there is a possibility of them doing what they did to New York, right? Where it's like a full reboot.

But with that said, I think the New York ladies were a lot older than us at the time as well. A lot of them are in their late 50s, early 60s, okay? Where we are not, that's just not the case for us. So I think they were also... And they were also not getting along and having not the case for us. So I think they were also... And they were also not getting along and having a lot of things happen. And I do think it's a lot easier to reboot a city like New York where there's tons of people in this business and there's tons of people that want to be on display and want to do this. And same with LA. I feel

like they, California, even the OC, they can recast pretty easily too. But not Jersey, there's not these people in Jersey like to stay under the radar a little bit more. They work in New York City, but they don't want to live there. They want their house in the suburbs with their pool in their backyard and especially our toxic ass cast with some of the girls that we have. And the way they come for the men Joe, right? It's like the way what guy is successful man out there here in Jersey is going to be like, Yeah, darling, sign up for that with those two women who are going to rip my insides of my asshole out. Like, sure, doll. Let's do this. Yeah, I did this

14 years ago when I do it today, knowing what's going on. Hell no, I mean, hell no, not really. It's a shame. It really is a shame that we had such an amazing cast. The guys were great, right? Oh, the best. You guys were just like, you guys were so funny.

Guys were just like the comic relief. Yep, and it was just one of a kind. And you know, I'm sure some of them look back and say, shit, what did we do? I missed that. I missed those fun times and look what I'm doing now. And even the ladies like, why do what you did? Why? Why? Why take it to that level? Why can't you just come to work, film and be happy?

Everybody has family drama in life, but what's happening is you don't really see

it back. So now we, we, we watch it back on TV and we relive it. Imagine reliving this and knowing that you did this wrong. You were the person that did this. A lot of people don't care. Like, so people don't, it was funny. I noticed that the other room, I know that a lot of the fans noticed this too. Sorry, guys. I'm so like, I noticed that the other room, I know that a lot of the fans noticed this too. Sorry guys. I'm so like, I noticed that a lot of the fans were saying like, like that one, the other room was saying like, Oh, everyone needs to take accountability. They kept saying everyone needs to take accountability. I'm like, huh?

What? Like, like, this is crazy. It's absolutely crazy. Like, Oh my God, you just got to keep on going. Yes. I think once you get caught as much as like there was obviously, and you guys all, let me answer this question for you. A lot of you guys wanted to know why we didn't discuss the bloggers and everything that

was going on behind the scenes that obviously two of our cast members got caught talking to bloggers, asking the bloggers to come for us, come for our businesses, giving them screeners of our show to give them a heads up so that they can make nasty tweets about us, knowing what was going to come out and be prepared to spit the tweet out in real time, where the other patrons and people watching would not they'd have to watch think a minute then make their tweets later like these tweets were coming real time because they knew what was going to air. So a lot of you are frustrated that

you didn't see us discuss that in the reunion. But guess what? We did. We totally discussed it. We discussed how frustrated we were that that happened and the girls in the other room did that to us and how kind of like scandalous it was of them and it was so like dirty and such a snake move to do to your cast members because it wasn't at that point about, hey guys, we're on this ensemble cast, a group of girlfriends with family and we're going to come in and show our trials and tribulations and like how, you know, our personal lives and how we get through life together and our and how we fight to make up and just things that we go through and then show fun and our fun husbands like no these girls took it to a level

of like, you're going down like we they wanted to murder literally almost like you had sex with their husbands or something. She's not really it was it's not really just it's almost like it comes out of left wing with some stupid shit. It's almost like you're fucking off break. It's almost like you fucked your husband.

They caught it and they want to get down. I mean, I don't know what what was so bad. No, they just had. It was just such a need to win. It was such a need to win. And we did talk about it. It did end up on the cutting room floor. Unfortunately, you know, it's so funny, I just I followed this account.

It's called Bravo snark side. And he's just like an account that will post things and he just actually today I just happened I don't know if it's he or she, if I'm being honest, I actually have no idea. But they posted today. Like a bunch of receipts that you know, just a bunch of receipts, a bunch of receipts. So and I did the ones that I didn't even see these receipts yet. So it's so crazy that they're, they're still surfacing right now, which I think is

insane. But like I was just reading that before actually waiting for you to come to the podcast. And I'm like, geez, look at this. There's even more. Like we could go on and on and on. Can I ask you a question? Can I ask you a question? Yes. You're a professional woman. You're a mom. You're a wife. You keep yourself. You're gorgeous. You're beautiful. You're everything, honey. Imagine those receipts came out about you.

No, I would cry. How would you feel at your level of who you are as a celebrity? No, we're at a level, like everyone on this show and the girl, like, you know, it's just, it would be so embarrassing. You were in high school and your friends caught you with those receipts. I'm just saying in high school, how would you feel embarrassed? Right. Imagine you're at this level at this age on a TV show and like

calling random people in California that just make a fan. It's almost like you got karma gotcha. It is it's definitely got to be embarrassing, but I feel like no one's gonna actually say that because they got to you have to keep like fighting it off. Fight all you think you can fight all you want. Some other things about the episode I thought were funny. I wish they would have shown. I wish they would have shown like they were showing us watch the episode, but I wanted you guys to see more of our commentary because they kept showing so much of the episode, right? Like, I felt like they, I wanted you to see our week your room was fun. Your room was, it was just different. It was just, you know, you walk in, you felt different. You walk into

that other room. You felt like tension. Yeah. Even Dolores, Dolores walked in your room. She was like, Hey, she felt lighter. She walked in that room. She sits there like this. Well, I think she knows that like, you can't say the wrong thing, which I feel bad. Listen, and I love her. And she's has love for both of, you know, both of us. She really does. The truth is she grew up with both of you, Joe. She grew up with you. She grew up with Teresa. And I've known her since I'm 24 and before I even got married, right? So it's like, she has

a love for all of us and I get that. but I do feel her need to... If she slips up or says something wrong over there, I can sense that she would just be put through such misery that she doesn't even want to... She just has to tiptoe. And I don't know that. These are not Dolores' words. These are my words that I sense. She just seems so much calmer around all of us and just trustful. She trusts us. So I also feel like, I wish they would have shown, I really thought it was such a funny part of the episode when they showed Jackie walking backwards. Guys, that to me is like, oh my God, the fact that the producers caught that. And I was dying to see like her, like her watch herself walk backwards and like, see her comment.

And I'm so mad that that didn't make the cut either because I'm like, I don't even know like I didn't make the cut. No, it didn't make the cut at the reunion special. Like we're watching the finale. So it's like so annoying. I would have liked to see her response to that. That was great. The fact that like- This shit is crazy.

You can't make this shit up. This is why it's been going on for so long. Well, it's crazy that it all came out, that it was actually actually Jack and it's so funny. Everyone's talking about being vindicated vindicated But I am sorry there is no Vindication that happened from the people who were claiming there was gonna be such Vindication like where is the vindication? If anything the person is actually sitting right next to you and you like her still and she's your friend still, which it's just, it's so crazy to me how that

works. I called out Jackie, Teresa looked at it. I'm okay with you. It's just, it's so fucking funny. It is. Come on, man. This is comical. This whole show is comical. I think that like- Got Jen Aiden screaming over like a little girl. She's in high school. I mean, really, it's like, oh my God. I mean, it is comical. The cast together is pretty funny. It's pretty comical how it all went down.

I think that everybody... I got more DMs about me doing that pose, like putting my hands on my hip and making that face. I think I got like- How did that come out? like this came to you. No, because well, when someone's calling you like a whore profusely over I'm like, wow, tell me how you really feel for all these years all about family. I love my family all about family. And then it's like, wh whore whore whore and I'm just like

really is that how you feel oh my god like what the hell am I supposed to do get mad like it's like it's like a fucking joke I'm still mad that they called you a stripper and you're really not a stripper I should have married you because I could have some fun in a bedroom yeah yeah, yeah. Yeah. Dance. No, but like, guys, some of these things like I wish I would have seen Jackie walk backwards. And I wish I would have seen Jackie watch herself walk backwards. So funny. I mean, there was some other things to

walk. Yeah, come. Who? Wait, you would think Bo Deedle, because he's such a great investigator. Right. Like how come he didn't know it was Jackie the whole time? Bo Deedle should have known it was Jackie the whole time. No. Like how come you know that? It investigate. He's such a great investigator. He should have said, hey, guys, it's Jackie. You know what else is so funny that I think people forget?

You guys forget that the last reunion when I won that reunion by the way, and I wore the The blue dress right you forget that I came to that reunion with receipts Because Teresa and Jacqueline Lurita were suddenly teaming up against me and I was like this bad guy out of nowhere again a decade later and I busted out with receipts. Okay, about all of this shit talking Jacqueline Larrita was doing about Teresa because they were newfound friends. And guess where all those came from all

those texts were from Jackie, all of them, because Jackie was texting Jacqueline Larrita for so many years bashing Teresa. So even that came from Jackie, like everything. Matresa loves it. No, see, for me, I don't think it's about her forgiving Jackie. I think it's a numbers game. I have to be dead honest with everyone. It's a numbers game. It's like, oh my God, how many people am I going to have in my room?

I can't just have one person in my room and we got to do what we got to do to keep Dolores in the room. So I have to have another person in my room, Joe. That is not about her really wanting... She knows that this woman has done that Margaret hasn't done any of the things that Jackie has. Okay. But Teresa wants to forgive Jackie. And that's because it's a numbers game. It's as simple as that. I think ever when she said it's about it's about keeping the job. Guys, you know how crazy I am about my skincare, right?

Listen, the truth is guys, when it comes comes to Bravo and everyone keeps asking, we don't know what they're going to do.

We don't know who they're going to keep. Like I said, I think they're going to keep three or four. We have great numbers. We are tied with Beverly Hills in first place when it comes to like ratings. So to recast a show that's getting like 800,000 live viewers would be crazy, I think, but I'm not the professional here. Although I do feel like I am a professional after all these years doing this. You're a professional. I just think that like they would probably keep a couple of familiar faces and recast people. Well, I'm going to tell you, I'm going to tell you what really Bravo wants. And everybody always asks,

is this show real? They want realness. They want real reality. They want real when they know that you're setting up scenes and you're lying. They don't like it. They don't want it out there. They don't want, they want real. If they know you acted, if you fake something, they cut it. They cut it, you know, and that's the truth. They really want what's in your life. Yeah, they want real life situations. They don't want you to go and fake makeup with people and try to make friendships to keep your money. They want real friendships and relationships.

And it was very clear that this group is divided. They're not real friends anymore. It's cut so deep that no one can go back. So they do have to get to the point where, you know, they they figure it out. And so isn't it crazy that it's like they believe one thing all because of things that went out on the internet about somebody and videos and that and they they hate they hate you. But no one did. We know it's so funny though. No one on this cast would have had those videos, right? So it's kind of funny because it's like,

there's obviously people in the past, right? That have the videos and that made that happen. All we did or whatever we're being accused of from is talk about it and discuss it, which we're on a reality show here. There is no way like that shit's gonna come out and we're not. So it's like, no, you gotta stop putting the blame on the wrong places.

It's like, we didn't own those. Margaret didn't own those videos. Even Jackie didn't own those videos. No one had those videos, right? So those things that happened in the past happened in the past. I just think like the big victim, the victim, the victim, like, some of these cast members, I'm like, like, you know, it's just too much. And it's also, that's also sad. Like, who freaking wants to watch someone that says like, my life

sucks. My life sucks. Look what I'm going through. Look what I'm going through. Let me sit my kids down. Tell my kids. Oh, my god, let depression on wheels. Let me bang my kids down tell my kids oh my god let depression on wheels let me bang my head against the wall it's like victim victim right like i don't do people watch that just stop talking i'm getting depressed right now you can wait want to know one other thing i noticed i gotta laugh at myself wait do you want to know i don't laugh i'm getting depressed wait there's another thing joe i noticed oh my god did you see the other room asked for cocktails? They were like, can we get a cocktail or like, can we get an espresso martini and the

producer literally was like, No, we are not drinking today. It is 130. No, they cut to our I am sipping that Cosmo over and over. I think at one point, I sip an espresso martini. They cut to me in the next clip and I'm sipping a Cosmo. And I'm like, how did I get two different drinks? How is our room drinking in their rooms? Not allowed? Did you notice that? Am I the only person who noticed that I was drinking espresso martinis and Cosmos and that they literally said no to them in the other room?

Oh, because they asked for a drink in the other room. Yes. They literally said, can we have a drink? And they said, no. And they said, no, they're like, it's one 30 the afternoon. No, you don't need a drink. And then they show me like sipping my Cosmo and you guys are drinking. Yes.

Which is so weird. Maybe we're like the non-violent, although I mean, I don't know who the hell knows. I mean, I think Danielle probably learned her lesson as well. Rachel being pregnant guys, I feel like that's all right. So happy for Rachel. They knew they wanted another little baby. They always were saying it. So we're so happy for the food of family to go and make. She's probably so happy that we're not filming and now she can just go be pregnant,

make her kids, you know, and I do say this for girls like her who are like, you know, they have the little ones, it's like almost like go enjoy that right now. Like go play with the toys on the floor and like, enjoy that part of life. It's like the best part of life, you know, when you just get to sit and play with babies and toddlers, love for you to play with my toy once in a while. Oh my god Joe is that I we're gonna end this. Do you

have any final words before I let you do is play when you're sure Bert outfit? Are you gonna wear that shirt outfit all day? Like, are you ready? Are you ready to take off your pitbull sherbert? I'm gonna buy this and like all different kinds of colors. Honey, I don't think they make it in any other colors. All right, guys, listen, we love you guys so much. I will be back here next week with you guys. Joe, anything nice to say we we shout out the food is big congratulations to them. Congratulations on being making a

party of six family. We love them. That is so awesome for them. They're such great parents. Real love, man. Real love. Yes. Yes. That's amazing. So sweet. So sweet. Now she'll have three like me plus she has, well, she's going to have four actually. Yeah. Cause of Jayden. Yes. Jayden's leaving to Coop man. He's going to college. He's got her. So they're like, you know. Yeah. Jayden's going to college. So she'll have the

three little great. They're just great parents. John food. And I was talking to him. And I go, I go, what's that noise in the background? He goes, I'm at Lego land. Yeah. That day with his kids. I mean, they're just they take them everywhere. And they do as well. Disney. They're always at Disney. They love Disney. They love all the like theme parts. And Joe, we hated all that stuff. That was not for me. They love every I I giggle at them because they're always like at a theme thing. And I'm like, geez, I was not my thing. I didn't like that. So cute. But good for them. She's pregnant. Guys, listen, we don't know what's gonna happen. I'm telling you that as long as Bravo will have me, I love

working with Bravo. I love the network and I will be with them. So we don't know what's gonna happen. We won't know for at least months. I think that'll be months before we hear anything. So any of these little rumors that you guys are hearing online and oh, they're keeping these three they're keeping these two is bullshit. Trust us. And half the time it's coming from the own person's camp. So when you read, oh, they're only keeping this one, this one, and this one is because that one told their publicist to give that story. Trust me, because it's not true.

And Bravo is being very type lit. So you can tell who's planting stories just by like, who they're saying is coming back. Okay, so just trust me on that. Do not forget tonight we're in Boston. So all my Boston peeps come out and say hi to us at Copo restaurant and supper club. We'll see you in Atlantic City Saturday night with all the boys. We love you guys and I'll talk to you next week. Ciao.

Ciao ciao. Come on sherbert. Oh, here we go. I tell you, this outfit is so comfortable. I think I'm going to sleep in this thing tonight. Oh yeah, okay. You're taking it off. No, no. You're going to take it off. Oh! Yeah. What if I told you that I just walked away from a wonderful and very high-profile fitness brand to pursue bigger dreams?

And I broke away from my own golden handcuffs to pursue a more artistic life. What's up? I'm Kendall Tool. And I'm Gaylee Alex.

So that everyone here with us can learn from our battles, victories, and our total F-ups. And that's from two people who have really been through it. Good Lord, yes. We're both still navigating life, and we want you to come along on the journey so we can stay in the fight to overcome whatever BS is thrown our way. It's not easy out here but we'll be
