Speaker 3: back to the seventy six Ers Insiders podcast. Matver B
Speaker 3: and Lauren Rosen are so excited we are to talk
Speaker 3: about Joel Embiid winning a gold medal with Team USA.
Speaker 3: Our reaction pod will include some high level takeaways from
Speaker 3: the tournament. It will also dive a little bit deeper
Speaker 3: into his best performance in the semi finals to help
Speaker 3: will Team USA to the gold medal game when they
Speaker 3: beat Serbia and got to the matchup with France. So
Speaker 3: we'll go into that talk about some of the teammates
Speaker 3: that he had as they supported each other all the
Speaker 3: way through the Paris finale. So we've got a lot
Speaker 3: to catch up on, Lauren, But it was just awesome
Speaker 3: to see Joel Embiid with Team USA up there on
Speaker 3: the podium after winning the gold against France. What were
Speaker 3: some of your high level takeaways?
Speaker 4: Hi, Matt, So good to be with you.
Speaker 2: I think for me, watching Joel go through this entire
Speaker 2: experience was really special because it didn't come without resistance.
Speaker 2: Right when you're Joel Embiid, you know that your off
Speaker 2: seasons are extremely valuable.
Speaker 4: So to make the decision to play and to put your.
Speaker 2: Body through high level basketball for a long.
Speaker 4: Period of time.
Speaker 2: Remember this team was together for about five weeks playing
Speaker 2: competitively around the world.
Speaker 4: So to choose to do that, to choose to play
Speaker 4: for the United States and double.
Speaker 2: Down on that a few times again meeting resistance and
Speaker 2: pushing through it, and then to meet resistance in the
Speaker 2: games themselves and push through that, right, figuring out how
Speaker 2: to play at a different rhythm with different rules, figuring
Speaker 2: out how to play in a win or go home situation.
Speaker 4: And we're going to talk about this more in a
Speaker 4: little bit.
Speaker 2: But Joel's played in game sevens, right, but he's never
Speaker 2: played besides I guess, let's say the play in tournament
Speaker 2: this past season in a winner take all, win or
Speaker 2: go home type situation, with the stakes as high as
Speaker 2: they were. Right, with the play in tournament, it was
Speaker 2: an opportunity to get in to another tournament.
Speaker 4: It wasn't and it wasn't a.
Speaker 2: Win or go home actually because they would have played
Speaker 2: another game, So toss that out the window.
Speaker 1: But the opportunity to.
Speaker 3: Well game sevens game seven's too in the playoffs, correct.
Speaker 2: But to win in advance is He's never been in
Speaker 2: a game seven in a finals, right, He's never been
Speaker 2: in a win and win goal, win and win the
Speaker 2: title type of game before. And to also the last
Speaker 2: point I'll make about meeting resistance right, finding a way
Speaker 2: to be relied upon by this team specifically because when
Speaker 2: you look across the team, everyone with a couple exceptions
Speaker 2: of guys who are teammates in the NBA, but everyone's
Speaker 2: the best player on their team, right, So now you're
Speaker 2: together and all of a sudden, you're not the best
Speaker 2: player on the team, or you're not the highest usage
Speaker 2: player on your team. So how do you meet that resistance?
Speaker 2: Push through it, find a way to make these other
Speaker 2: guys look better, find a way to exploit opportunity when
Speaker 2: you get it. For me, just sort of on a personal,
Speaker 2: professional basketball human level, this just had to be the
Speaker 2: most meaningful experience and had to be something that is
Speaker 2: going to make Joel Embid a better basketball player for
Speaker 2: the seventy six ers.
Speaker 3: Moving forward, we're going to talk about specific moments, are
Speaker 3: major moments if you will, from the tournament specifically related
Speaker 3: to Joel Embiid in just a moment. But to the
Speaker 3: point about levels, how about the level of competition, like
Speaker 3: worldwide basketball has been growing, so these other teams are
Speaker 3: getting better, And a huge difference from Joel's NBA career
Speaker 3: and playoff moments is that this Team USA venture is
Speaker 3: sort of a thankless one in many respects because it's
Speaker 3: their fifth straight gold medal. Now for the men's team,
Speaker 3: by the way, shout out to the US women's basketball
Speaker 3: team for winning their eighth straight gold medal. Absolutely also
Speaker 3: against France, two incredible finals in France.
Speaker 1: So it's just it was cinema.
Speaker 3: But the thankless part of it is you're expected to
Speaker 3: win the gold metal every time when you put on
Speaker 3: the team USA uniform. So for Steve Kerr and the
Speaker 3: coaching staff, and for Joel Embiid and these Hall of
Speaker 3: Fame players that he is surrounded by, they were expected
Speaker 3: to do this while the other countries are getting a
Speaker 3: lot better and the US, I mean they were just
Speaker 3: they shot forty six percent from three as a team
Speaker 3: in the games, and they averaged one hundred and five points,
Speaker 3: which was eleven points more than the second best scoring
Speaker 3: team in Serbia, which is a game that we're going
Speaker 3: to talk about.
Speaker 1: But Joel averaged eleven.
Speaker 3: Point two points per game against this pretty high, high
Speaker 3: level of competition with so many great teammates. Steph Curry
Speaker 3: ends up with fourteen point eight points. Lebron was amazing
Speaker 3: fourteen almost seven rebounds a game and eight and a
Speaker 3: half assists per game. So playing with these types of
Speaker 3: players how well do you think Joelle held his own
Speaker 3: and how do you feel about him ending with eleven
Speaker 3: point two points per game on this roster?
Speaker 2: Sounds pretty good, especially considering the criticism he was getting
Speaker 2: early on in his tenure with Team USA, and again
Speaker 2: as a reminder, he Steph Curry among others, it's their
Speaker 2: first time playing in this sort of environment, and hopefully
Speaker 2: for both of those guys that I mentioned, Joelle and Steph,
Speaker 2: it's not their last, but learning to acclimate to a
Speaker 2: completely different set of rules and a completely different.
Speaker 4: Style of play.
Speaker 2: I'm always fascinated by the fact that I've never held
Speaker 2: an international basketball, but I need to because the way
Speaker 2: that guys talk about.
Speaker 4: How the grip is so different and how it's.
Speaker 2: Allegedly much slipper or is the international ball. So when
Speaker 2: you're someone like Joel Embiid who's extremely sweaty all the time, right,
Speaker 2: that type of thing, and I'm not even being facetious,
Speaker 2: like that really changes the way that you have to play,
Speaker 2: the way that you have to move your hands, move
Speaker 2: your arms, the pressure that you're putting on the ball.
Speaker 4: And that's just one example, right.
Speaker 2: That's before you even look at the differences in rules,
Speaker 2: the differences in what's a foul and what's not, the
Speaker 2: differences in officiating. So he had a learning did joellenbiid
Speaker 2: to get to the point where he could make the
Speaker 2: impact that he made in those elimination games that resulted
Speaker 2: in the gold medal, And so watching him make those
Speaker 2: adjustments in real time, watching him get comfortable, watching him
Speaker 2: round into form, and again in just his first experience
Speaker 2: with USA basketball, next time he puts on that uniform,
Speaker 2: the learning curve is going to be shorter, It's not
Speaker 2: going to be nearly as steep. So I'm looking forward
Speaker 2: to seeing what he continues to do in these situations.
Speaker 3: About the basketball really quickly, please, We've known for years
Speaker 3: now that the NBA basketball, the sweatier it gets, the
Speaker 3: more grip you get. Whereas the announcers were saying in
Speaker 3: international play, the sweatier the basketball gets, the harder it
Speaker 3: is to shoot with and pass with, Dwayne Wade was
Speaker 3: saying that sometimes the ball on a jump shot can
Speaker 3: even slide right out of your hands.
Speaker 1: So that would be a key difference.
Speaker 2: And the rule surrounding what constitutes need for a new
Speaker 2: ball is different in the NBA versus overseas, right, And
Speaker 2: you know, but you hear stories all over the place
Speaker 2: about Lebron James's preferences with balls and starting the starting
Speaker 2: the game with the same ball that you finish it
Speaker 2: with versus swapping it out. And if it gets wet
Speaker 2: or if a drink spills on it, how is that
Speaker 2: different from if it's sweaty, and when do you bring
Speaker 2: out the towel to wipe it down. It's just these
Speaker 2: little intricacies that you think about a little bit during
Speaker 2: the course of an eighty two game season, but are
Speaker 2: so much more meaningful in a March Madness style winner
Speaker 2: take all tournament with people playing for Not every NBA
Speaker 2: player plays for the city they're from. In fact, very
Speaker 2: few do, right, So for these guys to be playing
Speaker 2: for their country, caring so much, and also playing under
Speaker 2: a different set of rules, that to me was sort
Speaker 2: of the subplot that I loved watching, figuring out how
Speaker 2: the guys would adjust, figuring out how the game then
Speaker 2: ended up looking different stylistically based on what gives you
Speaker 2: an advantage in the NBA and what gives you an
Speaker 2: advantage overseas. That was the subplot that I enjoyed the most.
Speaker 3: Shout out to Kyle Lowry for that playing for your
Speaker 3: hometown team, also a pass gold medal winner, and then
Speaker 3: he parlayed that a couple of years later into an
Speaker 3: NBA championship. So Sixers fans are out there are hoping
Speaker 3: that Joel Embi can do the same type of thing,
Speaker 3: a gold followed by an NBA title. And before we
Speaker 3: select our major moments, I am putting you on the
Speaker 3: spot related to the rules. Is there something from the
Speaker 3: international game that you'd like to see the NBA adopt.
Speaker 3: Would you want some of the no goaltend type play
Speaker 3: because watching lehmbin Yama, n MB and others be able
Speaker 3: to just knock the ball off the rim, to me,
Speaker 3: would seemingly improve the NBA product.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I love that, and I love the way that
Speaker 2: they adjusted to it right.
Speaker 4: And then just the just.
Speaker 2: The difference in what I'll leave it here, difference in
Speaker 2: what constitutes a common foul in the NBA game versus
Speaker 2: what constitutes a common foul in the FOBA game. I
Speaker 2: prefer the opportunity to continue playing in the FOBA game.
Speaker 4: That's what I observed in this situation.
Speaker 2: And I know that during different tournaments, files have been
Speaker 2: called differently. I'm not an expert on FIBA, but in
Speaker 2: this tournament, it felt like they were really playing through
Speaker 2: a lot and for me, I enjoy watching.
Speaker 1: That for a variety of reasons.
Speaker 3: It was just a really enjoyable product, and a really
Speaker 3: enjoyable moment happened in the semi final.
Speaker 1: So with that, what was your major moment?
Speaker 2: So I sort of alluded to it in my little
Speaker 2: opening ramble. But the situation that Team USA found itself
Speaker 2: in in the semi final game versus Serbia, down throughout
Speaker 2: throughout the third quarter, down double figures often in that game,
Speaker 2: Serbia was out playing the US in those first three quarters,
Speaker 2: notably the first quarter. Obviously they got off to a big,
Speaker 2: hot start, but then went on to lead by double
Speaker 2: figures in the third. I think watching Joel understand where
Speaker 2: he was going to be most effective and how to
Speaker 2: compliment the other guys as opposed to lead the group.
Speaker 2: Right over these last five six seven years on the
Speaker 2: seventy six ers, he is the focal point. Everything runs
Speaker 2: through Joel Embiid on offense and on defense, as.
Speaker 4: It should, but in this situation.
Speaker 2: It was really hard to argue against running things through
Speaker 2: Lebron James, through Kevin Durant, through Steph Curry.
Speaker 4: I cracked up.
Speaker 2: At Anthony Edward saying that Steph Curry showed up exactly
Speaker 2: the right time. But by the time they were in
Speaker 2: that Serbia game, you couldn't argue with the thirty six
Speaker 2: point performance.
Speaker 4: That Steph was on his way to right.
Speaker 2: You knew that the end of that game was going
Speaker 2: to run through Steph Curry. You knew it had to
Speaker 2: run through Lebron James as he put together a triple
Speaker 2: double throughout that game. Joel watching and saying, Okay, I'm
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid. I have this incredible skill set and it's
Speaker 2: going to be incredibly useful down the stretch here. I'm
Speaker 2: going to insert myself strategically. I know how to play
Speaker 2: against Nikola Jokic. I know what I am going to
Speaker 2: do and how I can also set up Lebron James
Speaker 2: and Steph Curry. So watching Joel in a win or
Speaker 2: go home situation, we said it, there haven't been that
Speaker 2: many in his career.
Speaker 4: We're talking Game.
Speaker 2: Seven's elimination games in the playoffs, but the opportunity to
Speaker 2: advance to a championship is not something that he's experienced before. Right,
Speaker 2: So not only is it win or go home, it's
Speaker 2: win and advance to a championship. Now, how do I,
Speaker 2: Joel Embiid, decide where my spots are? How do I
Speaker 2: be as efficient as possible so I can end my
Speaker 2: night eight for eleven from the field and two for
Speaker 2: three from three? How do I make sure that I
Speaker 2: am giving as much space to Lebron James and Steph
Speaker 2: Curry as he is absolutely cooking as I possibly can.
Speaker 2: It's just so much newness and to watch him the newness,
Speaker 2: show the humility it took to be a supporting cast
Speaker 2: member but really exploit the holes.
Speaker 4: That Serbia was giving him.
Speaker 2: It was just cool to watch him adjust, develop and
Speaker 2: grow in that ten or fifteen minute period in the
Speaker 2: second half against Servia that proved so consequential for this team.
Speaker 2: And then I know we're going to talk about the
Speaker 2: qualitative off court stuff and the way that those guys
Speaker 2: that we've now mentioned embraced.
Speaker 4: Joelle as a result of his play.
Speaker 2: But watching him in a pressure situation unlike any situation
Speaker 2: he's ever been in, watching him read the game, figure
Speaker 2: out where he was going to be most helpful and
Speaker 2: then execute nearly perfectly.
Speaker 4: It was just really really cool to watch.
Speaker 2: As someone that's super familiar with his game and his mindset,
Speaker 2: it was really cool to watch him.
Speaker 4: See what was needed execute. It was just, yeah, it
Speaker 4: was spectacular.
Speaker 3: Serbia was the double digit seed college team, if you will,
Speaker 3: that sort of gets the arena going when there's a
Speaker 3: potential upset on the line. Embiid with the French fans,
Speaker 3: that's been well documented, so that was all happening and
Speaker 3: Joel rose to the occasion against the team that yes
Speaker 3: features Nikola Jokic, a multi time MVP and one of
Speaker 3: his rivals at the NBA level, but the rest of
Speaker 3: the team was raining threes for much of the early
Speaker 3: game and had so much momentum and kind of that
Speaker 3: nothing to lose type attitude, where Embiid and the US
Speaker 3: had the opposite of that. He finishes with nineteen points
Speaker 3: in just twenty seven minutes. You gave the shooting totals
Speaker 3: good to see him hit a couple of threes, and
Speaker 3: his one free throw that he took and made was
Speaker 3: huge because it was during that run. In the fourth quarter,
Speaker 3: the US after a Jokic basket, was actually down eleven.
Speaker 1: Yes, they were down more than that earlier in the game.
Speaker 3: Almost twenty points, but with eight minutes and change, actually
Speaker 3: it dipped below that. They were down eleven and Joel
Speaker 3: the team tied it up at eighty four. But Joel
Speaker 3: was part of a seven to two solo run against Serbia.
Speaker 3: He had seven straight points, including an a one that
Speaker 3: gave him the free throw and seeing Lebron James tie
Speaker 3: it up with one of his patented layups. What were
Speaker 3: you thinking during the Team USA run that Joel scored
Speaker 3: half or so of their points, seven points in the
Speaker 3: span of a couple minutes.
Speaker 2: Just pride because watching Joel throughout the course of his career,
Speaker 2: accumulating new skills, new experiences, learning to rise to the occasion,
Speaker 2: and then being put in this again, high high pressure
Speaker 2: situation surrounded by other guys that are not necessarily better
Speaker 2: basketball players than Joel Embiid, but were primary and secondary
Speaker 2: options ahead of Joel Embiid.
Speaker 4: Right, that's not a situation he's comfortable with.
Speaker 2: So watching him be able to adjust on the fly
Speaker 2: and figure out how he could be an effective compliment
Speaker 2: meant to those other guys based on what the game
Speaker 2: was giving them. I was just proud of the adjustments
Speaker 2: he was making live. It made me really really.
Speaker 1: Proud to see even like little things.
Speaker 3: And I'll get to my moment pick here, but the
Speaker 3: way you set a screen to open up Steph Curry,
Speaker 3: who's scorching hot. And Curry's almost fifteen points per game
Speaker 3: led all Team USA scores just for context of Joel's
Speaker 3: eleven points per game, and that Steph number was aided
Speaker 3: by the fact that he scored thirty six in this
Speaker 3: Serbia game and twenty four in the gold medal game
Speaker 3: against France, making seventeen threes combined, and Joel helped free
Speaker 3: him up for some of those big shots in what
Speaker 3: ultimately was a ninety five ninety one Team USA victory.
Speaker 3: My major moment relates to Curry. It relates to these
Speaker 3: teammates like Lebron that we're talking about, just the support
Speaker 3: that they gave Joel Embiid. That was the favorite thing
Speaker 3: that I saw, if you will, throughout, including on the podium,
Speaker 3: like I said, when they all stand up there together,
Speaker 3: but then when Joel was kind of egging the fans
Speaker 3: on and his teammates, none of them two important for
Speaker 3: that moment to show their support for Joel Embiid, but
Speaker 3: on the court when Steph Curry hits the shot of
Speaker 3: the games against France to go up by nine with
Speaker 3: thirty seconds left, and they're all doing the good night celebration,
Speaker 3: Joel and the rest of their squad. For me, it
Speaker 3: was that and just getting over that winning hump and
Speaker 3: being surrounded by people like Steph Curry who have won
Speaker 3: multiple championships. That was the major thing for me, is
Speaker 3: just seeing Joel in that element, in his element with
Speaker 3: those guys. He was just part of it, like a
Speaker 3: starter for a gold medal team and one of the people,
Speaker 3: in combination with Curry that helped get them to the
Speaker 3: final spectacular.
Speaker 2: I loved watching it as well. That was something that
Speaker 2: obviously stood out to me. We talked about sort of
Speaker 2: the quantitative on court stuff, but qualitatively speaking, the relationships
Speaker 2: that he built, the respect that he earned among his peers,
Speaker 2: the appreciation that he garnered from his peers, some of
Speaker 2: whom are universally considered to be among the greatest of
Speaker 2: all time.
Speaker 4: It looked like he was having fun.
Speaker 2: It looked like he was being embraced, And to me,
Speaker 2: that's all you want when you're a fan of someone
Speaker 2: who's new to a team, right, you want them to
Speaker 2: be embraced as a teammate, you want them to be appreciated.
Speaker 4: And obviously, Joelle.
Speaker 2: Has had the unique experience of being with one team
Speaker 2: for the entirety of his professional career, so to be
Speaker 2: able to step outside of his current team get to
Speaker 2: know players on this level, I can only imagine we
Speaker 2: talk a lot about people don't maybe give Joelle enough
Speaker 2: credit for the student of the game that he is,
Speaker 2: for the fact that he's always watching film, for the
Speaker 2: fact that he spends his off seasons trying to develop
Speaker 2: into Dirk, trying to put together packages from other players.
Speaker 4: And adjust them to himself and then put them in
Speaker 4: his game.
Speaker 2: I'm really curious to see what he observed from his
Speaker 2: teammates on this team that he's going to try to
Speaker 2: bring out in the twenty twenty four to twenty five
Speaker 2: NBA season, because I would imagine there are more than
Speaker 2: a few he is for.
Speaker 3: The Sixers had to be Dirk sometimes, like he told
Speaker 3: Tyrese Maxey, he's had to play different ways and he
Speaker 3: had to be something entirely else with Team USA, and
Speaker 3: now he brings that back to a Sixers team that
Speaker 3: has hopefully a future player on this stage in Tyrese
Speaker 3: Maxey on the global stage, and one from the past
Speaker 3: in Paul George, who is a nine time NBA All
Speaker 3: Star at the wing with MAXI like, you come off
Speaker 3: playing with Curry, Lebron Durant and you now have a
Speaker 3: team in the NBA that has one of the best
Speaker 3: wing players in Paul George and one of the best
Speaker 3: guards in Tyrese Maxis. So that right there is probably
Speaker 3: why it stood out to me so much, because he
Speaker 3: can bring a lot of how he just played back
Speaker 3: to the NBA season. And as we wrap up, Lauren,
Speaker 3: I know you were locked in on other events, So
Speaker 3: what were some of your non basketball takeaways from the
Speaker 3: past few weeks? Other sports, other events, We watched it all.
Speaker 2: I absolutely love the Olympics, and I love when it
Speaker 2: is timed such that I can wake up in the
Speaker 2: morning and just put it on and watch rock climbing.
Speaker 2: And someone told me what it was actually called. I
Speaker 2: don't want to mess it up, but it's not called
Speaker 2: rock climbing. There's a more technical term for what that
Speaker 2: sport is. But just watching how good these people are
Speaker 2: at what they do. Random sports, the kayaking.
Speaker 4: I loved it. The surfing.
Speaker 2: I watched so much surfing Matt Murphy for those that
Speaker 2: don't know, I grew up in gymnastics, though, and so
Speaker 2: I watched that with a particularly fine tooth comb. And
Speaker 2: I love watching the athletes that don't qualify for event finals,
Speaker 2: that don't qualify for team finals, that aren't participating in
Speaker 2: the all around, watching certain countries emerge in field teams,
Speaker 2: the Philippines, field teams that haven't existed in the composition
Speaker 2: that they brought in twenty twenty four in the past,
Speaker 2: the dominance that Team USA showed throughout those events. Simone
Speaker 2: Biles obviously spectacular, Jordan Chiles, Jade Carey, watching Sunny Lee
Speaker 2: after all of the oh god, the adversity.
Speaker 4: That she's overcome in the last eighteen months.
Speaker 3: It was really special for watching Stevenaik oh my gosh.
Speaker 4: The pommel horse king, watching the men watching well.
Speaker 2: So Frederick Flips from TikTok was an Olympian, right, so
Speaker 2: I knew him more from TikTok than his from knowing
Speaker 2: his game right, But now that I'm more familiar with
Speaker 2: his game, it was spectacular to watch him thrive on
Speaker 2: the international stage. So I love watching gymnastics, I always will,
Speaker 2: but I also this Olympic cycle developed a fondness for
Speaker 2: the lesser known sports or the ones that at least
Speaker 2: I wasn't as familiar with. Loved loved, loved watching just
Speaker 2: sort of whatever NBC and company was feeding me on
Speaker 2: a day to day.
Speaker 3: I've gotten bigor into soccer, so watch some of the
Speaker 3: men's soccer, but also the US women's national team winning
Speaker 3: the gold medal. It's been interesting to follow. They have
Speaker 3: a new coach or manager in Emma Hayes, so seeing
Speaker 3: them get the job done in the Olympics. We've seen
Speaker 3: them on the World Cup stage, been kind of a
Speaker 3: famous team to follow for years, but on the Olympics
Speaker 3: stage it had been a little while so for them
Speaker 3: to come right in under the new manager and win
Speaker 3: the gold medal. They have some exciting talent, just like
Speaker 3: the women's basketball team, So I leave you with that.
Speaker 1: It was North Philly's.
Speaker 3: Own Khalia Copper and the US women's team, coach by
Speaker 3: Cheryl Reeve, who's a South Jersey native, played in Philly
Speaker 3: at LaSalle. Their game was wild and France almost sent
Speaker 3: it to overtime, but the foot for Gabby Williams was
Speaker 3: on the line banked in a shot. So just some
Speaker 3: like we to bring it full circle. Just some incredible
Speaker 3: basketball to watch and shout outs all around.
Speaker 2: Absolutely enjoyed throughout and particularly enjoyed watching Joel Embiid get
Speaker 2: his Olympic gold medal around his neck, the first active
Speaker 2: seventy six er to win in that context for Team USA.
Speaker 4: And fun to chat about it with you, Matt Murphy.
Speaker 3: Fun as always, and we'll have some fun stuff with
Speaker 3: the schedule to talk about the NBA schedule coming out
Speaker 3: in just a few days, so that will be something
Speaker 3: coming up next on our radar on the Insiders feed.
Speaker 3: Tell a friend about us, as this will be the
Speaker 3: podcast to listen to all season long leading up to
Speaker 3: the twenty twenty four twenty five NBA season and also
Speaker 3: throughout and player conversations. We still have some to come
Speaker 3: out sit down with Reggie Jackson and Andre Drummond, both
Speaker 3: of them sat with us. That's still so maybe let
Speaker 3: a friend know that this is the place to be
Speaker 3: and that conversation was super fun. So that's upcoming podcast
Speaker 3: that we have here on seventy six Ers Insiders. But
Speaker 3: until we chat again, Lauren Rosen, thank you so much
Speaker 3: and I look forward
Speaker 4: To the next one always Thanks Matt
